🛒What does shopping in Russia while under sanctions look like? Did luxury Western brands finally leave the country or was it all just a facade? ❌ I took a tour around the iconic Russian luxury department store called GUM, just to satisfy my curiosity. GUM is located in the heart of Moscow, right on the Red Square, and harbours a rich history from Russian Empire days, down to the Soviet era and to this present day. We’ll check out the current price tags 🏷️ and have a taste of the famous soviet ice-cream 🍦 after standing on a long queue (believe me, it was worth it!)
