Hi i've heard from my friends that there is a place in Warsaw called "Russian market" where you can buy music software and other stuff for a ridiculous amount of money, like 5 euro for a cd?!!! Where exactly this place is?
thanks,
Ken

Yep, like 2 years ago it was really working well, black market, called russian market coz most of the smugglers where from the former soviet union. Right now it's rather down, and there are gossips that it will be closed. It is situated next to rondo Washingtona, just right on the east side of Warsaw, were Saska Kempa is. You will see a huge stadion wich for the past I think 20 or more years was and still is a place for cheap clothes and black market...cigaretts, vodka, fake parfumes etc...

It is remarkable spot on the map of Warsaw taking into account that Warsaw does not have a dicent stadion. Warsaw national football team has to go play in Chorzow 300 km from Warsaw, and this stadion is used as ablack market...
but they say it will change, they will fix it. So if you want to see how it looks now you have to hurry up:)

Looks like the end of the Russian market has come. Since Poland and Ukraine are going to have EURO 2012 they need stadions, so this is the end of a famoust market!
Now the poor "shop" owners from the market are fighting with the government for a better place instead.
