The beautiful and fabulous Izmailovo Kremlin and a very diverse flea market are just a Mecca for designers, collectors, tourists and just for curious people who want to buy something unusual. Great! Shoot more places like this. It seems to me that people will be interested in places - the museum of weapons, the Armory and the main military temple, striking in its grandeur, beauty and history.

A couple of weeks ago, we bought some vinyl records for the child. Now he will listen to vintage vinyl😅 fairy tales and children's Soviet musicals. For tourists: next to the Izmailovo Kremlin, there is an estate where 17th-century buildings have been preserved. Emperor Peter the Great often visited and lived there. It's a pleasant place for quiet walks, with a beautiful church. And also, at the Izmailovo Kremlin, I met Marisol Carranza and her wonderful parents from Guadalajara during the FIFA World Cup in 2018. We've continued our communication.

In America we call it a Flea Market. They are common outside cities, in rural or suburban areas. Both dealers who specialize in one thing and people with a blanket and the contents of their attic.

[@Browsurfer]

The russian term for flea market is - «барахолка» barakholka from «барахло» barakhlo which is "old / useless / exchangeable stuff", not to be confused with term "products" - it is exactly "not products", there isn't any product value or any produser-client relations, it's stuff from owner to owner. Equivalent russian term for this kind of market is «птичий рынок» ptichiy market from «птицы» birds, because this kind of market often associated with open air pet store, where one can buy small pet like bird, kitty, dog and such. This kind of market like in Ismaylovo also not to be confused with term «ярмарка» yarmarka because yarmarka is basically product market where producers sell their own product, it's often food related, but also craft related too, say one can sell tomatoes or berries, and other handmade scarfs or tables.

[@Матьгородоврусских]

The term for the Izmailovo market is "flea market". These are just old antique and not very antique, but just outdated goods. It's a flea market. And the bird market is a place where animals are sold, now mainly pets, cats, dogs, birds, fish, etc.

Izmailovsky Kremlin is a cultural and entertainment complex designed in the form of a stylized pseudo-Russian fortress with walls, towers and fortifications. The complex was built in 1998-2007 and is an architectural fantasy woven from bright pseudo-Russian elements. Inside the complex there are a significant number of small museums and exhibition halls, craft workshops and shops, an active Orthodox church, as well as a cafe and tavern.

[@Disorder2312]

What do you mean by "pseudo-Russian"?

[@alinabut]

@@Disorder2312 Pseudo-Russian style is a trend in Russian architecture of the XIX - early XX centuries. It was based on the use of the traditions of ancient Russian folk art and architecture, as well as some elements of Byzantine architecture.

[@Viktor1964p]

@@Disorder2312 I wouldn’t say that - “pseudo-Russian style”, I would say - “buildings stylized as ancient Rus'. He calls it pseudo-Russian because ideally such buildings most likely did not exist. This is a stylization of an ancient or medieval city with a characteristic wooden fortress and shopping areas and characteristic houses inside this fortress. House styles are taken from different regions of Russia. There is architecture from the Yaroslavl region, the northern regions of the country and, of course, the Moscow style of architecture.

The "event" is "кулачный бой" (kylachny boi). Literally "fist fight". Traditional team on team competition popular among peasants back in time of Russian Empire. Not a sport yet, but it's predecessor of some kind. And it's definitely were seen as friendly competition between neighboring villages... Nowadays this is mostly our weird way to have fun. Once I even heard someone said "fist fight is like sex if you know how to do it right". I believe that was an old way for young men to channel their aggression in a non-destructive way.
