These are usually open-air affairs, though there are those which are located in large, enclosed buildings and can operate year-round. These markets are where individuals can sell the produce from their own "kitchen gardens". Here you will also find fresh flowers, a broad assortment of handmade items, such as wooden toys, knitted scarves and hats and all sorts of other things.</p><p>In the Soviet period these markets were often the only places where you would consistently find good quality <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">фру́кты</em></span></strong></span> fruits, <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">о́вощи</em></span></strong></span> vegetables and <span class="bold"><strong><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">мя́со</em></span></strong></span> meat. Of course then, when the markets were the only legal havens of capitalism, the prices were much higher than they would have been in the state-owned stores. Today the markets face competition from the great number of foreign-owned stores and you'll find the market prices more or less in the line with prices in those stores.</p><p>Besides being a good source of fresh produce, the markets also provide valuable "cultural experiences". A trip to the market can be fun and interesting. But while there, you'll need to keep a close eye on your purse and wallet as these markets are the favorite haunts of pickpockets.</p></div><div class="navfooter"><hr><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="ch07s05.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="ch07.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="ch07s07.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">5. <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">Ско́лько?</em></span><span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">ско́лько сто́ит?</em></span> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> 7. <span lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">На ры́нке</em></span></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
