This Sunday Dushevny Bazar (“market with a heart”) is holding its annual holiday extravaganza: a huge marketplace where you can take care of all your holiday shopping in one day and in one place. Best of all —all the goods on sale are sold to support Russian charities. The more you buy, the better you feel.
Over 60 of Russia’s most worthy non-commercial organizations will have booths selling just about everything you can imagine, with an emphasis on toys, tree ornaments, homemade gifts, stuffed animals, ceramics, cards, clothes, sweets and confections. There will be plenty of games, master classes, performances and other activities for kids, so bring them along and let them play while you do your shopping.
This year the market is being held at Gostiny Dvor from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, see the organization’s site.
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.
