Shopping malls usually close at around 10 pm in Moscow. Huge shopping centres with shops as well as entertainment are very common. There are malls that you can get to easily by metro or foot, but there are also some that are quite far out. The most popular shopping centres on the outskirts of the city include Okhotniy Ryad, Evropeiskiy, Metropolis, Atrium, TSUM and GUM.
Tverskaya St is full of mass produced brands whereas Petrovka St and Bolshaya Yakimanka St are packed with luxury labels.
It is difficult to find flea markets, second hand stores and fancy shops in Moscow.

While French impressionism is arguably the best known art movement in the world, Russian impressionism — which had a more complex evolution — remains less well studied. It is somewhat a controversial term. Few artists identified themselves as impressionists, despite adopting impressionist techniques in their painting style.

On the ground floor you’ll find a huge range of books in English, while upstairs there are books in other languages. I personally like to peruse the corner of Russian titles translated into English. Here you’ll find works by legendary Russian authors including Pushkin, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky and Bulgakov, as well as works by many lesser-known authors.
