GROWING UP IN SOVIET UNION

Stockholm, Sept. 1.

A flourishing black market is growing up in the Soviet Union, but the Russians seem unable to do much about it, except complain about it in their newspapers.

The Soviet black market, unlike Western black markets, sometimes offers goods at lower prices than those of the ordinary market. It also offers goods of the same kind, but of higher quality, than those sold legally, and goods which are quite unobtainable in the shops.

Generally, the lower-priced "This trade goes on with the goods are cupplied by fuctory blessing of the authorities,” managers who sent them from Izvestia complained. the State. As an example, Other big operators, generally "Pravda" quoted the Krasnii in charge of factorier or ware- Viberziels factory in Leningrad.houser, tales a percentage of the Chelt The factory was using a little goods passing through

The enter- prising director also sold choice wines and out-of-stadon fruits at high prices.

Goods unobtainable in the shops are generally sold by email operators who either steal the small quantifies manufac turel and thus prevent them from reaching the shops or buy them up illegally from the dis- tributing organisations and hoard them for mule when the shortage has become acute.
