Trade near the Ozark metro station. St. Petersburg, 1993. "Ozarki" was opened on August 19, 1988 on the Moscow-Petrogradskaya line - as part of the section from Udelnia to Prospect Proshevshchenia. The station became an important transfer center for residents of the northern neighborhoods, Viborg Road and areas outside the city limits, so the area in front of the lobby attracted large flows of passengers, buses and minibuses every day. In 1993 this space was quickly occupied by commerce. After the decree "On Free Trade" of January 29, 1992, citizens were allowed to sell without special permits, and trays, tents and cars with goods became part of the city landscape. Trade is only determined in places defined by the authorities, but near the metro the market lives according to its own rules - here you could buy clothes, food, household items and imported products that until recently could not be found in a normal store.
