Simon,
There are no such dealers in Chicago.
Sorry,
Rusty.
P.S. Do you live in ChiTown?

Simon,
Rusty is correct. I have friends in Chicago and make it down there on a regular basis (for collectors shows and recreation) and have never found a mainly Soviet dealer in the area. Some dealers will have some Soviet items but it has been my experience that those dealers are not Soviet specialists. Thanks Clete

Hey I have a couple of flyers for Chicago area shows. If you IM me I can give you the information. Also if you have a fax number I can fax the flyers to you. I know some dealers in Chicago but I think most are WWII German vendors who happen to get Soviet stuff in on occasion. THanks Clete

I'm heading to Moscow next month for a long weekend (TH-Mo) and am wondering what are your recommended "must sees?"
It is likely to be bitterly cold, so indoor/museum sorts of ideas are of great interest. I went back through the threads to April 2005 and didn't find anything that really touched on Moscow (I'm not heading anywhere else). Any suggestions?

Friday: Do the traditional city tour by bus, with quick tour of Kremlin Museum. Go to GUM, etc. Make it a traditional Moscow day; most good hotels will have a city tour+ package.
Saturday: KGB musuem at Lubyanka, then Central Armed Forces Museum; Border Troops Museum (if you can work getting in). Tretyakov art museum in the afternoon for a little culture.
Sunday: Try to get into the Zhukov Museum; if not, WWII museum on Polkanya hill ( i am not spelling it right); afternoon, maybe Museum of Political History ( was not in great shape last time)
There are some other things to do, but good weather would be best ( EEA displays near the Cosmos, Monino Air Museum, Kubinka Tank museum).

I think the Museum of the Revolution is the Museum of Politics now; but i agree, great gift shop. Was amazing back in 2000; i bought 2 original Civil War Red Army posters in mint condition from their collection.

though he had a set of orders of glory 3 and 2 class awarded to the same individual for $150 about a year ago. I regret that I passed on it being worried that it might be a fake.
