Vadim Dymov is a Russian businessman famous for starting up cultural and art oriented business projects. Among these the bookstore chain Respublika takes a very particular place. They say that sometimes even Vadim Dymov himself works incognito as a shop-assistant. It's not just another usual bookstore you might expect, but a whole universe of "big things with the accent on lovely small ones". Here you may find the three intellectual life foundations which are books, music records, movies in ideally balanced proportion. "Smart" bestsellers, architecture and art albums, comics, memoirs and biographical works are dressed with a lifestyle forming stuff. When in one of the Respublika shops, take a look at the information desk where you can always find useful tips about gigs and lectures happening around town. However gigs and lectures are frequent in Respublika stores as well.
