Please Click On YouTube Notification Bell ???? Next To Subscribe Button To Be Notified Of New Russia Insight Videos! The GUM shopping mall is a landmark in Moscow's Red Square. It occupies the majority of the historic square's east side with a facade stretching the length of two and a half football fields. The Gum (pronounced as 'goom') department store was built over a hundred years ago and is a testament to the expertise of late nineteenth century Russian architecture. With the looks of a royal palace this mall is a fitting addition to the numerous gems surrounding the Red Square.
The magnificent interiors comprise three elegantly designed floors with a glass roofed central courtyard spanning the whole length of the GUM. The floors are connected by bridges giving the whole area a graceful look associated with the finest buildings of yesteryear. At the centre of the complex is a lovely fountain that has served for decades both as a favourite meeting place and a popular photo opportunity.
Moscow's GUM (each former soviet city had its own GUM) is today full of flagship stores with the most recognised brands from around the world. Apart from retail outlets, GUM also offers space for dining, cafes, exhibitions, galleries, leisure activities and cultural events.
Considering the beauty of this historic complex, the GUM in Moscow must be one of the most popular shopping malls in the country that doubles up as a great tourist attraction.

This week, we are visiting Gorky park of Moscow. It's interesting that the Scorpions recorded a power ballad Wind of Change that has been viewed more than 680 million times on YouTube as of April 2019. They were inspired to write the song after performing at the Moscow Music Peace Festival in August 1989. The opening lines are:
I follow the Moskva Down to Gorky Park Listening to the wind of change
Let's see how the Gorky Park of Moscow looks now after many years since that Wind of Change that was breathed and expressed by Scorpions.
Here's a link to the original song:
0:00 - A Fountain by the main entrance 0:03 - An improvised passage 0:11 - A statue near 0:19 - A lake 0:22 - Pushkin embankment 0:34 - An underground passage 0:51 - A museum and an observation deck 1:48 - A Saxophonist
