Gorbushka

Gorbushka is an electronics market in Filyovsky Park District with multiple floors filled with stores. The selling space houses computers, smartphones, gaming consoles, and various equipment packed closely together.

The market began in the 1980s as an open-air trading space near the Gorbunov Palace of Culture, first focusing on music recordings. Over time it expanded and shifted its focus toward selling electronic devices and computer equipment.

The name Gorbushka comes from a Russian word meaning the first slice of bread, referring to the curved shape of where the market started. Today, people gather here to shop for electronics, making it a meeting point for those interested in technology.

The market is located near Bagrationovskaya metro station and opens daily from morning to evening with different entrances depending on the department. Finding your way around can feel confusing at first, so asking staff or checking a layout can help.

In the years before 2001, vendors sold specialized databases containing sensitive information from Russian government agencies. This unusual trade made the place a known hub for informal business in the tech scene.
