Russian Tool Store: What Can you Buy in 2024

[@TravellingwithRussell]

How does this compare to a local tool or hardware store where you live? Keep in mind this is a small local tool market in a regional area of Russia. Russia also has the more traditional "big Box" stores as well. To watch a video at another Russian Hardware Store (Leroy Merlin) -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4acZWeMjMiMn80 Also in this town, there is a local food market, which you might find interesting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5ymlYqJr9h5jac If you want to join me on Telegram, We are past 300 members now, and 1000 people in the active chat group: t.me/travellingwithrussell Ways you can support me and the channel 💳 (Russian Bank Deposit) SberBank: [phone] 💳 (Set up for Everyone) www.donationalerts.com/r/travelwithrusell 💳 (Set up for Everyone) boosty.to/travellingwithrussell/donate 🛒 Shop for items on Amazon: www.amazon.com/shop/likecruiseships 💵 PayPal (Non-Russian) www.paypal.com/paypalme/ilikecruiseships

@TravellingwithRussell, are the Australians in Altai and the Canadians in Nyzhniy Novgorod aware of these stores? They are having trouble finding the required tools.

@@TravellingwithRussell it is identical to the sole trader hardware markets in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia.... Sailing around and visiting isn't the same as living in a place I guess. Didn't you ever have to source minor consumables in your role on a ship? Ok you got around but you seem to have missed some things. 🖖

[@olegbal5633]

The main thing to remember here is that for Russians, tools and building materials are like basic necessities. In Russia, many people carry out repair and construction work on their own. It doesn't matter what your education or profession is. This has been the case since Soviet times. A man should be able to do everything.

Халло, Рассел. Хочу напомнить, что слово "ярмарка" не всегда было русским. Происходит оно от немецкого слова "Jahrmarkt", что означает ежегодный рынок, (большая) торговля, распродажа. При отце Петра 1 -- Алексее Михайловиче, оно уже существовало в привычном для русского уха виде -- ярмарка. Самая известная -- нижегородская.

This is very interesting. It's like a farmers market for building materials. I have never seen one like this in the states. We have hardware stores, we have supply houses/distributors, which are usually discipline specific, and then we have the big chains. Many of our hardware stores have gone out of business because they can't compete with the big chain building material stores. Nowadays if I know what I want.... And I can....I just order it over the Internet.
