SOUNDBITE: (Russian) Klavdia Ivanovna, Flea Market Trader: "A 'New Russian' (new rich Russian) was sitting on my train recently and asked me, "hey, grandma, how do you live?" And I answered him: " I lived well once, but now it has become very hard to live." He said, "nothing will change until we go out onto the streets with pitchforks." So, the talk is useless, until we take to the streets with pitchforks!" 33. Wide of stalls 34. Wide people setting out goods LEAD IN: A little over a year into the recession that ended Russia's golden decade of economic growth, the country's rich and poor alike still seem to be reeling. The recent down-sized Millionaire Fair showed that life for Russia's rich has indeed lost much of its glitz. And for some of Russia's poor a weekly flea market has become the only way to survive. STORYLINE: Russia's rich at the Millionaire Fair (23 October 2009). The annual bling-fest emphasises wealth, good living and, well, wealth. This well-off wife is convinced there aren't many poor people in Russia: "There is not so much in Russia poor people, there is a little. And they try to make their lives very nice to be rich." But just a short train ride away from the glitz and glamour of Russia's capital is Lianozova. They come here on Friday evenings to reserve the best places and stay for the next three days.
