What they found was generally more abundant, of better quality-and costlier -than in the past. Stores on Moscow's busy Kalinin Prospekt shopping street carried the first-ever Soviet-made jeans at authentic Western prices: $10 to $20 a pair. In Leningrad, women were snapping up pantyhose imported from East Germany at $10 a pair. Other briskly selling items: Hungarian electric shavers at $35 each and a new line of Soviet-made...
