At the Ploshchad Revolutsii metro station, women sell foreign perfumes. The Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 65 of January 22, 1992 “On Free Trade” came into force.

The decree allowed people to trade "in any places convenient for them, with the exception of the carriageway of streets, metro stations and territories adjacent to the buildings of state authorities and administration"

It happened that people collected things at home, came to the “points”, exchanged food among themselves, trade was a way to earn some money, as companies could delay wages for months
