(Often referred to as a "Department Store", GUM, located directly opposite the Kremlin, is a very
elegant mall, consisting of some 200 rather extravagantly priced stores. GUM is not its name, but
an acronym for "Glavnyi Universalnyi Magazin", which translates as Main Universal Store. (The "G"
in GUM used to stand for "Gosudarstvennyi" which means "State", but since the end of the Soviet
era the complex has been privately owned, and in order to retain the acronym, had to be renamed.)

Here's a familiar name, on sale in a fancy GUM wine store
Note: These Krug Champagnes, left to right, were priced (in 2009) from $300.00 to $650.00 per bottle.
