Trade in the 90s (61 photos)

With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country was overwhelmed by rampant street trading, caused by the fact that it was almost impossible to buy necessary goods in stores. Millions of people, finding themselves below the poverty line, were forced to speculate on whatever they could get their hands on. In the 90s, all of Moscow turned into one big bazaar, where you could buy absolutely everything, if only you had money. Our photo selection will show you what the capital looked like at that time.
