Государственный универсальный магазин

The Stalinist architecture building features neoclassical elements, including decorative columns, expansive windows, and symmetrical proportions across its grand facade.

Constructed after World War II in 1951, the store emerged during the reconstruction period when Minsk rebuilt following the destruction of 80 percent of its infrastructure.

The structure houses retail spaces and exhibition areas, maintaining its role as a central gathering point for residents and visitors in downtown Minsk.

Located on Independence Avenue, the department store opens daily from 9:00 to 21:00, with paid parking facilities available near the entrance.

The building represents a preserved example of post-war Soviet retail architecture, designed by architects Roman Gegart and Lev Vladimirovich Melegi.
