Yunona, Flea market in Saint Petersburg, Russia

Yunona is a large market on the northern side of Marshal Kazakov Street in Saint Petersburg's southwestern Avtovo district. Its stalls sell household appliances, audio and video goods, computers and software, and clothing, and on weekends a flea market forms at the entrance. A guarded parking lot and a free car park of about two hectares sit on the grounds.

This market emerged during the 1990s when the Soviet Union was dissolving and quickly became a center for trading electronic parts and surplus equipment. The demand for components from military stockpiles and technical supplies drove its early growth.

The market grew out of an informal gathering of radio amateurs at the "Yuny Tekhnik" store on Krasnoputilovskaya Street in the 1980s, where rare electronic components were traded. Its nickname "Kazakovka" comes from the street it now occupies, and a flea market forms at the entrance on weekends. Since 2007 the market has published its own magazine, "Yunona".

The market lies on the northern side of Marshal Kazakov Street in the city's southwest, with a guarded parking lot and a free car park of about two hectares on site. Trams and buses reach it from the Leninsky Prospekt, Avtovo and Moskovskaya metro stations. On weekends a flea market forms at the entrance.

The market has specialized sections featuring Soviet-era electronics and technical literature that you cannot find in regular stores. Collectors and restorers value these hard-to-find sources for their specialized work.
