Lonely Planet review for GUM

The elaborate 19th-century facade on the northeastern side of Red Square is the Gosudarstvenny Universalny Magazin (State Department Store). GUM once symbolised all that was bad about Soviet shopping: long queues and shelves empty of all but a few drab goods. A remarkable transformation has taken place since perestroika, and today GUM is a bright, bustling place with over 1000 fancy shops.
