Detsky Mir
At the time of writing Children’s World was closed for a complex and highly controversial renovation project. Developers have promised not to alter the building’s art deco exterior, which is considered a Moscow landmark. But the interior will be completely revamped, with the addition of underground parking, an internal atrium, a multiplex cinema and a family-focused entertainment zone. Stay tuned.

Stockmann
Once a lifeline for foreign residents, this Finnish department store is now hardly distinguishable from its Russian counterparts. Nonetheless, it’s not a bad place to shop for clothing, homewares and other miscellany, even though it’s not exactly the same stuff you would find in Helsinki. At the time of research, a huge new Stockmann department store was being built at pl Vosstaniya.

TsUM
TsUM stands for Tsentralny Universalny Magazin (Central Department Store). Built in 1909 as the Scottish-owned Muir & Merrilees, it was the first department store aimed at middle-class shoppers. But it doesn’t do this any more, as it is now filled with designer labels and luxury items.

Bolshoy Gostiny Dvor
The granddaddy of all St Pete’s department stores is looking mighty fine after years of restoration. You’ll find a great selection of nearly everything here, including fashion and souvenirs, at reasonably competitive prices.
