This picture I took on one lovely summer morning in 2006 walking around the area of the famous flea market in Moscow...
The towers of the Kremlin in Izmailovo attracts many tourists who come to make shopping on the famous Vernisazh (or Art City, Craft Market), where customers can find a wide range of Russian souvenirs at the best prices in city. Big market with a lot of vendors is only during weekends, but if you came on Wednesday, you might be lucky to buy a favorite gift for you and the price will be even cheaper as usual. On this day many of artists and craftsmen sell their works wholesale to the vendors who have the same business in different places of Moscow city, as like Old Arbat or Sparrow Hills, or even they will be reselling the same goods here at the end of the week.
From the time when these beautiful towers of the Kremlin in Izmailovo were founded in 1990s and later was built a miniature of the stronghold of Russian town from mediaeval times, it was many fires in this wooden fortress and on the market. In 2006, almost all buildings inside the Kremlin were reconstructed and now they look as like brand new. When I walked inside this impressive Russian wooden fortress with my clients, many of them told me that they have feeling of being in Russian Disney Land.
