Red Square (Russian: Кра́сная пло́щадь, Krásnaya plóshchad’) is the most famous city square in Moscow, and arguably one of the most famous in the world. The square separates the Kremlin, the former royal citadel and currently the official residence of the President of Russia, from a historic merchant quarter known as Kitay-gorod. As major streets of Moscow radiate from here in all directions, being promoted to major highways outside the city, the Red Square is often considered the central square of Moscow and of all Russia.
Directly opposite the Mausoleum, on the eastern side of the square, lies the building which houses Russia's most famous shopping mall - the State Department Store, GUM. Since the fall of communism, several other shopping centers and hypermarkets have sprung up to rival it in prestige, but GUM retains its status as a consumer Mecca for visitors to Moscow.
Main Department Store or GUM (ГУМ, pronounced as goom, in full Главный Универсальный Магазин, Glavnyi Universalnyi Magazin) is a common name for the main department store in many cities of the Soviet Union and some post-Soviet states. The most famous GUM is a large store in Kitai-gorod of Moscow, facing Red Square. During Christmas time the whole GUM building is lit with thousands of lights and I was lucky to capture it with such a beautifufl sunset.

One of rare scenes of the humble corner shop that were in ample supply after the second world war as rations and poverty affected supply and demand....gradually being replaced by supermarket and hypermarket chains that offer huge discounts but not the same Bon hommie.

Watch the early morning sun
Drip like blood from the day
See the crazy people run
So many games to play
See the blue suburban dream
Under the jet plane sky
Sleep away and dream a dream
Life is just a lullaby
The neon lights in the night tonight will say
Everything will flow
The stars that shine in the open sky will say
Everything will flow
The lovers kissed with an openness will say
Everything will flow
The cars parked in the hypermarket know
Everything will flow
The area is host to a large shopping complex called Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre. It was one of the first out-of-town shopping centres in Kent. The centre includes the county's largest branch of Sainsbury's (formerly a Savacentre) and Medway's largest Marks & Spencer. The centre also once housed the world's largest branch of NSS, situated at the main entrance to the centre. This newsagents later became a 'Forbuoys' (now part of the RS McColl group).
Development of the centre commenced in 1974, creating 250,000-square-foot (23,000 m2) of retail space. OIn the early 1990s an extension was built which is now home to a 80,000 sq ft (7,400 m2) M&S.
The original Picnic Parlour at Hempstead Valley was the UK's second food court (the first opening at Brent Cross Shopping Centre in 1976) and the centre was modelled on successful complexes in North America.[6] It was originally planned to be an open-air shopping centre but the concept was changed to a covered shopping complex. The centre opened on 17 October 1978.
Medway Council granted permission for a further extension in 2011. This extension has converted the empty units outside the main centre into a new food court with more outdoor seating, with the old food court converted into more retail units within the centre. SavaCentre was a chain of 13 hypermarkets and later a further seven discount supermarkets owned and operated jointly by Sainsbury's and BHS, beginning in 1977. Sainsbury's later took full control of the stores alone in 1989, rebranding them as Sainsbury's SavaCentre, until 2005 when the stores were integrated into the Sainsbury's supermarket brand. The hypermarket stores ranged in size from 66,000 sq ft (6,100 m2) to 117,000 sq ft (10,900 m2) and the discount supermarkets ranged in size from 31,000 sq ft (2,900 m2) to 70,000 sq ft (6,500 m2). At the time of its inception, it was the only dedicated hypermarket chain in the UK.
Here's a rare sight, a shopping basket from the long defunct American Fare hypermarket.
American Fare only made it to 3 locations before Kmart decided to focus on the Super Kmart concept instead. The American Fare name lived on for a while as a Kmart private label, but I haven't seen it in a while.
"Hypermarket is a superstore combining a supermarketand a department store. The result is an expansive retail facility carrying a wide range of products under one roof, including full groceries lines and general merchandise. "

A few old houses have been blown off due to expansion of a hypermarket. This wooden house that has brick firewall is a lucky survivor so far. Such houses aren't considered as heritage objects, but the site loses its character without them.

GUM, Moscow, Russia at night.
GUM in Moscow Kremlin Directly opposite the Mausoleum, on the eastern side of the square, lies the building which houses Russia's most famous shopping mall - the State Department Store, GUM. Since the fall of communism, several other shopping centers and hypermarkets have sprung up to rival it in prestige, but GUM retains its status as a consumer Mecca for visitors to Moscow. In the Soviet Union, the top floor was home to Section 100, a secret clothing store only open to the highest echelons of the party. Nowadays the rows of exclusive boutiques are accessible to anyone with a platinum card. That said, the building itself is glorious, and there are still a few more interesting relics of a bygone era on the higher floors that make it well worth exploring.
We have a beautiful country. Too bad it is inhabited
Raped, tortured, abused, sold, dismembered, disembowled, desecrated, defyled, exploited, drained, forgoten.
My brethren are forced to run in your traps, in your fences, in your bullets, in your tractors and limos, in your chemicals and wastes, in your private country clubs, in your grotesque glass and steel office buildings and luxury apartments (you bald impotents), in your malls and hypermarkets (you fucking stomach driven puppets). Can you hear them scream their last breath?

All summer, they dug up and built something behind the fence, and then removed the fence and opened a new hypermarket a week later. It's okay, now I often go there.
Окей
Все лето за забором что-то копали и строили, а потом забор убрали и через неделю открыли новый гипермаркет. Нормальный такой, теперь я часто в него хожу.
