St Petersburg

Military shopping in St Petersburg

  1. A

    Soldier of Fortune

    The extensive selection of guns and knives at this little shop is impressive, if a little frightening. Check out the knives with intricately carved handles; penknives straight out of James Bond; and machetes with names such as ‘Predator Axe’. The place also carries more mundane equipment like binoculars and water bottles, as well as all manner of camouflage clothing and military souvenirs.

  2. B

    Soldier of Fortune

    Strangely, this weaponry store seems unrelated to the store of the same name in Vosstaniya, and frankly, you have to wonder about a town that has enough demand to support two such stores. Nonetheless, here is another place that has everything a modern-day Rambo could wish for, including GPS devices, Swiss army knives and camping gizmos.

    Military Shop

    In a city with men in uniform on every street corner, this is where you can get yours (the uniform that is!). Buy stripy sailor tops, embroidered badges, big boots, camouflage jackets and snappy caps at decent prices. Look for the circular green and gold sign with ‘Military Shop’ written in English; the entrance is in the courtyard.
