A Cherished Weekend Flea Market in the Ukrainian Capital Survives Despite WarAssociated PressKYIV, Ukraine —
Antique-hunters, collectors and many others look over seemingly endless rows of trinkets and time-worn wares. It’s a dizzying array that includes Soviet-era relics such as decorative medals, ceramics with communist leaders’ portraits, Cold War-era gas masks and military uniform items. adopted in 2015 as a part of the country’s effort to distance itself from its totalitarian past, vendors, buyers and law enforcement all seem undisturbed by such historic relics being openly sold.
“It’s purely business, there are no sympathizers around here. Items like this are in high demand,” says Kristian Zander, a 49-year-old market vendor, pointing at the “Buying USSR relics” sign at his stand. On display are kitchenware and utensils, hunting knives, Soviet badges and bottle openers., even with the disappearance of tourists and the decreasing purchasing power of most Ukrainians., the market still offers a large and eclectic variety of goods to those with any money to spend.
