As part of the project Winter in Moscow Fairs have opened at the Maslenitsa festival grounds. Farm produce, delicacies, and handicrafts are available for purchase.
Regional products in the city center
Tverskaya Square has become a gastronomic gallery of Russia's regions. The fair features high-quality products. The fishmonger offers lightly salted salmon and trout, cold-smoked fish (chinook salmon, sockeye salmon, halibut, and beluga), and hot-smoked fish (sturgeon, muksun, omul, and perch). A separate section is dedicated to caviar—salmon caviar from pink and chum salmon, Karelian trout, sturgeon, sterlet, and pike from Astrakhan.
The cheese shop offers a variety of cheeses: Adyghe cheese (soft, smoked, and dried), suluguni (including spiced and smoked), feta cheese, chechil, and traditional Adyghe salt with garlic. The meat section offers dry-cured sausages and authentic Adyghe sujuks made from beef, horse meat, and turkey. Also on offer are lightly marinated and smoked turkey, chicken, duck, and quail, as well as Cossack-style salo. All meat products are made from home-raised raw materials.
A separate pavilion features pickles from wild plants native to the Komi Republic: salted porcini mushrooms, milk mushrooms, butter mushrooms, and saffron milk caps. For dessert, they'll offer cranberries in powdered sugar, as well as products from Karachay-Cherkessia: jam made from pine cones, mint, linden blossom, green walnuts, and rose petals, Dombai honey, and fragrant herbal teas, the ingredients for which are harvested in ecologically pristine protected areas.
In Stoleshnikov Lane, you can buy delicious gifts: gingerbread with Maslenitsa decorations, cookies, marshmallows, handmade lollipops, and wild berry jam.
Maslenitsa symbols and designer toys
The shopping program in other districts of Moscow is also diverse. On Koptevo Boulevard, amigurumi items are on offer: home decorations, interior decor, as well as bracelets and beads made of natural stone.
Elena Saksina and her students have a workshop on Orekhovy Boulevard where they create handmade toys. Most of their work is made using the needle felting technique, but they also offer knitted and textile items.
In the square near the Nekrasovka metro station, you can buy pillows and various souvenirs handcrafted by artisans, and in the square near Golyanovsky Pond, you can buy hand-made toys.
On Khachaturyan Street, visitors will find a selection of handcrafted goods made with a love for folk traditions. Particularly noteworthy are the symbols of Maslenitsa—scarecrow dolls, round-dancing dolls, solar amulets, and brightly colored parsley, as well as original twitching toys that bring folk performances to life.
The stalls feature handmade textiles, including knitted toys, teddy bears, and decorative dolls in traditional costumes. Clay whistles, fragrant sachets with natural fillings, handmade soaps, jewelry, and vintage-style home decor are also available.
Among the wooden works are educational play sets with paints for children and adults, rocking toys, mobile toys on wheels, musical tumblers made using the decoupage technique and decorated with painting, key holders, perpetual calendars and boxes, wooden houses and other items.
The products presented by the artisans combine folk traditions with contemporary craftsmanship. These pieces not only serve as unique gifts but also carry cultural value, allowing buyers to participate in preserving the Russian traditions of the capital's artisans.
