There are plenty of vegetables and fruit in Russia. Organic produce is what you more likley to find in Russia. You will never see square watermelons or an apple sized strawberry in Russia. Everything is naturaly grown back there. If you go to the local market, you will find everything you need: different kinds of rice, bread, spices, vegetables, fruit. But don't expect to see a vegetarian menu in local restaurants. Vegetarian Russia: links and resources. http://www.unclepasha.com/veg/linsk2.htm

People in Russia get paranoid about things they don't know anything about. BTW, every pack of poultry has this sticker: It says," Checked. No bird flu detected"
