GUM, in full Glavny Universalny Magazin (“Main Department Store”),
formerly Gosudarstvenny Universalny Magazin (“State Department Store”), the
largest department store in Russia. Situated on a traditional market site on the northeast side
of Red Square in Moscow, the building originally known as the Upper Trading Arcade was
designed by A.N. Pomerantsev and built in 1889–93 in a pseudo-Russian style over a hidden
