These goods are purchased by a man in the family, who takes a shopping expedition to buy in bulk. Circumstances force them into what they consider to be a dishonorable occupation. Selling on the street is also illegal. But, the Moscow police tolerate it. They must function more as a method to communicate with people we meet, rather than become a strict bargaining device for goods, only.
Kiosks sell almost anything and are literally everywhere.
They are open seven days a week, from early to very late. They specialize in alcohol of all kinds and all price ranges. We are making real contacts to our virtual friends in Moscow. We visit a group of artists who are establishing the Moscow WWW Art Center. They include Alexei Shulgin, Tatiana Detkina, Alexander Nikolayev and Volodya Mogilevski, in Sasha's flat near the University.
