This article analyzes the transformation process of ideas about the functionality and the social content of the open clothing market of a large “post-Soviet” Siberian city in urban narratives by the example of Shanhajka, the Irkutsk open market. Based on material from 60 semi-structured interviews, described are the functions that are assigned to the market depending on the period in question, the idea of its typical groups and their role in the city’s daily life. It is hypothesized that the market space per se is a marker showing the borderline state of the “post-Soviet” city as a whole. Being one of the urban mobility concentration points, the open market responds primarily to any significant changes in the urban environment. The question is whether it is correct to consider the open market to be an adaptation mechanism of the population of “post-Soviet” cities to the situation of social chaos, as a space where “guerrilla” adaptation tactics of citizens to the rapidly changing city are acceptable. This article also describes such a category as “ethnic markers”, as well as its role and significance in the context of an open market. I. Hoffmann’s dramaturgical metaphor, M. De Serto’s “strategies-tactics” dichotomy and E. Laclo’s and S. Muff’s approach to the analysis of discourse are used as ideas for researching the open market in urban narratives. The open market is regarded as an “unstable sign”, the meaning and connotations of which are transformed over time, depending on the social context and the period cited by the respondent

This article considers the development of cross-border trade and tourism in the Russian- Finnish borderlands in the 19th/21st centuries. We describe the evolution of cross-border trade in the Russian-Finnish borderlands at different stages of the territory’s development. The patterns of cross-border trade have always been depended on the national policies of the two countries. Since the 19th century, cross-border trade in the Russian-Finnish borderlands has been the product of two factors. The first one is the demand from local residents for certain imported goods that are either absent or much more expensive in their own country. The second factor is the possibility of receiving additional or even basic income. We distinguish several periods (peddlar trade, Soviet-Finnish tourism, shuttle trade, shopping tourism) in the evolution of Russian-Finnish cross-border trade and identify their major trends and characteristics. We describe the general patterns of cross-border trade in these historical periods and juxtapose the pertinent institutional, organisational and infrastructural settings. We explain why the direction of the flow of finance and goods changed. Until the early 20th century, goods were brought to and money collected from Finland’s borderlands. Since the 1920s, the opposite situation has been observed. The latter trend has been growing in recent years. In this article, we aim at providing a periodisation and detecting the trends in and features of the evolution of cross-border trade in the Russian-Finnish borderlands in the 19th/21st centuries. To this end, we carry out a statistics and data analysis. We describe the Russian and international approaches to studying cross-border shopping tourism. We address Finland’s experience in stimulating inbound shopping tourism from Russia and examine why the Russians are attracted to the neighbouring state.
