"Larechnaya" Moscow, which we lost

Yes, stalls and tents-it was convenient. You get out of the subway, and you have a choice of hundreds of products: socks, thread, cords, tobacco, drink, eat — whatever your heart desires. And always these small, but incredibly functional buildings were part of the appearance of the capital. Around them, consumer life was boiling and, of course, the official and commercial "mafia" was maturing.

And when an entire conglomerate literally fell overnight, a wave of public outrage over Sobyanin's lawlessness swept the Internet. The meme "Night of the Long Buckets" appeared, and the mayor was accused of putting thousands of people out of work.

Now that the tents are gone, we can say a belated "goodbye" to them and go a little deeper into the" stall " history of Moscow. Je suis larek, as they say. Let's hope that what appears (or does not appear at all, who knows) on the site of the stalls will be hundreds of times cooler.
