This large four-story department store's architecture and function is exactly the same as it was during the Soviet Union. The striking difference is what the department store holds today. All modern Western electronic gadgets, clothing, cosmetics, and house hold items can now be found in this department store. The prices tend to be higher than in the bazaar, but the service tends to be better, and it is less crowded.
