When some people think about Russia, they think of bears. The two things have been linked in the popular imagination for centuries. Moscow, then, is a good place for an exhibition devoted to teddy bears. The Second Moscow International Dolls and Teddy Bears Fair continues in the capital until the end of the week.
From kids craving toys to collectors ready to pay thousands of dollars everyone's invited.
Teddy bears are in the limelight but more traditional collector’s dolls can also be found among the exhibits.
The idea was to gather together people with an interest in dolls and teddies, including artists and suppliers of the materials and equipment needed to make and repair them. The fair also gives manufacturers a chance to offer their products directly to customers.
