The Best Souvenirs

  • Linens: Delicately embroidered tablecloths, pillowcases, and women's or children's traditional tunics made from local linen are great buys.

  • Lacquer Boxes: Different schools produce different styles of boxes, usually in black wood decorated with images from Russian folk tales.

  • Vodka: Russky Standart and Flagman are two top-quality choices rarely available outside Russia.

  • Nesting Dolls: Matryoshka dolls can be tacky or tasteful, and kids love them. Adults like the political ones portraying Russian or U.S. leaders stacked inside each other.

  • Stones from Siberia: Malachite, charoite, and rhodonite are set into jewelry hard to find anywhere else in the world.
