TsUM

TsUM is a department store in downtown Perm located at the intersection of Lenin Street and Komsomolsky Avenue. The multi-floor building houses separate retail sections selling clothing, household goods, electronics, and cosmetics.

The building opened in 1965 as part of a Soviet retail development program that equipped major Russian cities with modern department stores. This period saw the creation of urban shopping centers as an important part of Soviet city planning.

The building displays design elements from the Soviet era of the 1960s with clean lines and practical construction that prioritized function over decoration. Visitors can experience this period through the straightforward, honest way the structure was built.

The store operates during regular business hours and sits in a central location, making it easy to reach on foot or by public transport. The passages between departments are clearly marked, allowing visitors to navigate the building with ease.

The building features a system of internal passages connecting different sections, proving especially useful during the cold winter months. Visitors can browse the entire selection without leaving the building or enduring harsh weather conditions.
