Abstract
Examines the current state of retailing in two of the more remote regions of Russia ‐ Eastern Siberia and the Russian Far East. Examines categories of retail shop ‐ the department store, or more appropriately the “quasi department store”, the kiosk, food shops as well as markets and street traders. Suggests that there is little retailing in these regions that is in any way similar to that of the west. In an examination of ownership, the only evidence found of any multiple activity is the multiple ownership of kiosks and some multiple ownership through a trading company. Explores the ways in which retailing is likely to develop in the future in these regions.
