Maybe any museum inside?

If I were a Russian, I would NEVER patronize any of those brands that left Russia in 2022, even if they ever came back to the market. All those brands/companies that left or rebranded have no principles or morals, when the US invaded Iraq over a lie, killing one million Iraqis, they had no objections, nor did the pull out of the US market. Where was their outrage over the US invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan?

Ciao from Italy. Our beautiful country was always on the top list for the Russian tourists, and now they disappeared. Thanks Biden, thanks Meloni, thanks Von der Looyen to destroy our tourism.

Siamo un paese di ignoranti che vota un partito fascista e non ha il coraggio di scendere in piazza per mandare un messaggio chiaro a chi ci governa e a chi ci occupa dal dopoguerra. Fuori dalla Nato, fuori dall'Unione europea, subito. La Russia non è il mio nemico.

If this is in the US, the shop would be empty in days 😂.

Big name brand stores are still paying rent and unemployment benefits to their employees in Russia.

[@JonnyTickle]

Do you know this for sure?

[@elenataylor4611]

@JonnyTickle This is the deal they've made with the government or they loose their rights to reopen in the future.

[@babyboo7741]

I am not sure about paying for unemployment but they pay for rent for sure

[@douglaswilkinson5700]

Thanks! GUM has really changed since Soviet times!

[@JonnyTickle]

It certainly has..

[@Mike-kr7cg]

Those luxury shops were mostly empty (of customers) before 2022 anyway. I wonder if they are still paying the rent

Got any other things you'd like to see? A view from Moscow City skyscraper, in sunny day )

[@JonnyTickle]

I've not been up a Moscow City skyscraper for quite some time

[@mikemahome2798]

In the US it would be a smash and grab. Stay strong Russia from the US with love.

[@stuartofblyth]

2:33 ГУМ lemonade and ice-cream are on the bucket list!

[@JonnyTickle]

a must for any tourist

[@niarlatotepbasset]

Really? No one suggested that to me when I was in Russia. Every time something new to find out.

[@oebydoeby]

It is a really impressive shopping centre the lights from red square are amazing. Lets hope the situation with Russia changes and shops can open again. And they did not close because of sanctions. Some did because it is a morally right thing to do but most closed because Russia made it almost imposible to move money out of the country. So investing in Russia for a western country now makes no sense. Can you still exchange your rubles for dollars or euro? Or is there a max you can exchange.

[@nickolaspetrov2786]

What about TSUM ?!

[@JonnyTickle]

Still busy and full

[@milansarac225]

[@АндрейЛеусенко-д4е]

Shopping centers are a stone age. People buy stuff online now. And all these goods are available online. Lol. It's like Apple. It officially left Russia but iPhones are on sale everywhere.

[@ДаданДаданский]

Oh! That`s impossible! Bees are not against the honey! Business not against the money!
