First determine what your interests are. You can check the Marketplace here. Members are known to post things for sale from time to time
ioffer is a rising star, worth to check from time to time
Quote:may I ask the reason why it is forbidden? Simply because it's a crime to export national values  and in Russia most of the items 50 years old fall into the category of ' the national values'.

You'll have much better luck in the markets and shops of the "other" countries of the former USSR. Just be careful of fakes, which are abundant. You definitely don't want to end up like this guy! http://soviet-awards.com/forum/soviet-mi...ussia.html George

I searched ebay.co.uk, .com, .fr and .de seperatley. You just need to learn how to spell "soviet" or "medal" or "badge" &c. in those three languages.

Hello,
I will be in Crimea in few weeks and I plan to make a 2 days stop in Sevastopol. Do you guys have any advice on things to visit related to the Great Patriotic War. Is Balaklava worth a detour? Thanks for your help! :thumbsup
