In 1950-70th carpets with pictures of deers, swans or three bears. Now you can by “bear-carpet” with elected president`s portrait. (Hei family name – Medvedev – means “Bear`s”).

There is a small carpet factory “Uzor” in a tiny town Viritsa in Leningrad region. It was found in 1944. In 2000^th they began producing political gobelins: portraits of President Vladimir Putin, minister Sergey Shoygu, Mocsow head Yuriy Luzhkov.
