Happy Pottery - Uzbeki & Polish ceramics
Antique market - antiques & carpets
On Saturdays and Sundays there is a big antique market. You have to be a bit more hardcore into browsing around and finding the real nice stuff, but if you are, you'll love it! And if you're looking for reasonably priced carpets, this is the place to be. You can even take a few home to try it out with your furniture and return them later.
Matroesjka's - dolls & Christmas decoration
You can find matroesjka's anywhere in the stalls in the center. They do vary in quality and price. The more standard designs are very affordable, but for the handpainted and unique matroesjka's you have to pay a bit more. We are a big fan of the Christmas decoration with little colorful matroesjka's and cathedrals, which are also a great gift to bring home. We recommend to buy more at the same stall and negotiate for a better price. There's definitely room for negotiation, but as said, for the more unique ones you have to pay.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
