Volgograd Vegetable Market

Photographer: Bill Swersey
New Years is the biggest holiday of the year in Russia and most families celebrate at home with a huge Thanksgiving-style feast and many champagne and vodka toasts. Tables are piled high with dozens of different appetizers and main courses. This photo was taken at mid-afternoon on December 31, 1996, as Volgograd shoppers hurried through the Central Market buying last minute items to round out their festive tables.

Piles of Georgian-style pickled peppers, garlic cloves and spicy carrot salad filled these aisles with a wonderful sour aroma. Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately for some, PhotoBubbles don't support smell yet.
