Souvenir Stalls In St. Petersburg

This is how some Russian people try to make a living.

You can just see vendors in the first two stalls. The second woman with her back turned is also a vendor. So is the man in the middle with
the blonde hair. Russian dolls are the most prevalent item, and dolls of George Bush were common. Tourists are easily identified by the
green stickers that we had to wear and that corresponded to our bus numbers. Vendors therefore could spot us easily. Everything
in the stalls is negotiable. Having seen the vendors at work, this photo is a commentary on the difficult life that many
Russians have in making a living.

Very nice shot, so well observed, indeed the Russians seem to have joined the atypical life of the street vendors in the global comunity. Life..........the great equalizer. Thank you for sharing
