I love tomatoes from the Minusinsk Valley in Russia. Every year I grow several varieties from this region. They are all prolific and delicious. This year I had the following:

Alënka Minusinskaya. One bunch and these are not cherry tomatoes.

Alënka Minusinskaya is rather a salad tomato. It has too thin walls and a little too much jelly for a paste tomato. However, it is tasty and looks great on the bushes :)

@Artorius If you had to pick one variety, which one?

@seedcorn
Difficult choice but I think it would be Minusinskiye Bychki tomato due to its versatility.

Is it legal to send seeds to the U.S,? If so I would love about 6 seeds. Willing to send you money to cover shipping.

Of course I'll send you the seeds. I have received a lot of selfless help from participants in this forum in sourcing seeds that interest me. I am happy to reciprocate it.
Write me your address on priv. These are not all the varieties I have grown this year. I will post more photos soon. Maybe something else will interest you.

While they May get through, might want to check the laws concerning seed importation.
