Description
Summary:Vyborg (Karelia), U.S.S.R. Square at the railway station, across from the station. The two clusters of people are cuing up at the street stands of fruit vendors. The only private enterprise tolerated in the U.S.S.R. is the selling of fruit in small quantities from tiny plots of (state-owned, of course) land. This was explained by an Intourist man as a temporary, emergency arrangement. (2 August 1968)
