R2028.........Handmade & hand-painted traditional russian wooden spoons. Made in Russia in 1970-s. You can use this colored spoon for eating as for as souvenir. The Khohloma style of woodenware ornamentation is known to all those who have got an inkling, at least, of Russian national art. This style is popularly referred to as just "Khohloma" for short. Khokhloma painting on wood originated in the XVIIth century in the village of Khokhloma near Nizhny Novgorod. This territory is rich in history and original culture. Khokhloma painting amazes you with its delicate grass pattern and festive coloring, which is based on combination of scarlet cinnabar and flittering gold against the black lacquer background. This is Khokhloma specific feature. Masters used tin powder and lacquer to obtain such gold color. Now they use aluminium powder. At that time Khokhloma production was not large scale. It was because of expensive imported tin. In 1720s after the end of the North War tin flow to Russian increased. The price went down and the material came within reach of many masters. The production and the sales of brightly painted woodware expanded. The 17th and 18th centuries proved that the beauty of Khokhloma woodware was highly valued. In the 20s and 30s of the 19th century Khokhloma craftsmen made some innovation. They started to gild not only parts but the whole surface and covered their bowls and cups with intricate grass painting. These improvements brought big success of this folk craft. There are wooden plates, bowls, spoons and even furniture. The colors are mainly black, red and golden. Traditional khokhloma ornaments are juicy red berries of strawberry and blossoming branches. .

A very good "weapon" for hand-to-hand fight, or for the demonstration dispersal. R2040.........Famous EM and officers felt boots so called "Valenki". Post war, but identical to WW2. Scientists have demonstrated, that if the child will be wearing valenki even up to 12 years, he will not be subject to many diseases, and in the age of maturity he will not be threatened with an impotency. Valenki help elders to treat their rheumatic disease. What is the source of this huge healing force? According to one of versions - the source is feature of sheep's' wool growth. The wool, which valenki are made of, is always sheared from the living sheep. Each pair is hand-assembled in Siberia according to traditions dating back more than 200 years. The environmentally friendly wool naturally “wicks” moisture away from your feet, keeping them dry in both warm and frigid temperatures. Perfect for camping, hunting, ice fishing or après-ski. Due to the natural fiber content, colors may vary from soft grays to deep browns. Designed to fit loosely (providing unmatched circulation for your feet). In 18 century this kind of footwear was considered really popular and prestigious. Peter the Great and Ecaterina II used to wear them sometimes. Soviet leaders also knew the advantages of this originally Russian footwear: Lenin, Stalin and Khrushev also wore valenki. As for today's celebrities, every third of them wears valenki for hunting. Valenki - are made of the natural raw materials (selected 100% wool - no even one gram of synthetic materials and blue vitriol are in them; - have medicinal effect when being worn for a long time (1-2 hours a day); - they warm articulations, a person wearing them is being healed from articulate diseases); - have been tested in the field conditions; - protect sappers from undermining of the explosive devices (feet are not injured as the felt amortizes and detains splinters, bullets and case-shots); - protected feet and legs of the fighters from stabs of the sabers, bayonets, axes (amortization of the felt!) during hand-to-hand fight (there are historical facts confirming this statement). Valenki detained stabs and as a result feet and legs were not wounded (neither scratches nor bruises). Being tested by Chukchi arctic frosts they are of the better quality than Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian ones. Divisions of Ministry of Defense, Ministry for Internal Affairs, Ministry of Emergency Situations, State Customs Committee, Federal Frontier Service of Russian Federation as well as security services, fishing and hunting farms – all use valenki. R2043........Enamel Cap Stars. WWII Soviet Cap Stars made from brass and enamel, not clear plastic like the postwar cap stars.
