Shopping in Vladivostok

  1. A

    Magazin Kollektsionera

    A retired navy vet opened this collection of (mostly) Soviet keepsakes about two decades ago. Super stuff: Soviet cameras, watches, toy soldiers, warship clocks, banners, Stalin paintings – all very reasonably priced.

    Vladivostok city maps and Primorsky Territory maps are available at stalls and bookshops such as Dom Knigi, which also keeps postcards and a funny Vladivostok-photo matchbox set (R180).

    Antique shop

    Small but interesting collection of yesteryear titbits: medals, arts, flags, cameras, coins (some obviously picked up abroad by vacationing Russians).
