      <p>In addition to the usual grocery stores and supermarkets, Moscow and St. Petersburg have a
        large number of <span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
            class="foreignphrase">ры́нки</em></span> farmers' markets. 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 xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em
                xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase">фру́кты</em></span></strong></span> fruits,
          <span class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml:lang="ru"
                class="foreignphrase">о́вощи</em></span></strong></span> vegetables and <span
          class="bold"><strong><span xml:lang="ru" class="foreignphrase"><em xml: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>
