Small business in action!


I wanted to share this "fun" commercial picture of a small businessman in action in Moscow, Russia. This kiosk is right near Red Square, but most of the kiosks were only lightly filled with shoppers. Tourism is certainly down in Moscow with hotels reporting occupancy down around 50%. That will make it a tough summer for small sellers. This kiosk owner did manage to relieve us of about 800 RUB for some nesting dolls for my children!
