Russian dom (house)

“Russian dom” was a restyled wooden building, former dacha, exhibited interior of old Russian dwelling: with a Russian oven and also souvenirs for sale, like matreshkas, dymkovskie toys, wooden plates and eggs paintings together with other Russian souvenir stuff.It was extremely popular among tourists that made one-day trip to Russia from Kirkenes (often travellers from Hurtigruten). Some other opportunities, except visiting this house were suggested to tourists as a part of the tour. An example is driving to town’s post office to send exotic Russian postcards with not less exotic Russian postage stamps sticked on it - back to home.
