After the Revolution the GUM was nationalised and continued to work as a department store until Josef Stalin turned it into office space in 1928 for the committee in charge of his first Five Year Plan.
After the suicide of Stalin's wife Nadezhda in 1932, the GUM was used to display her body.
After reopening as a department store, the GUM became one of the few stores in the Soviet Union that was not plagued by shortages of consumer goods, and the queues to purchase anything were long, often extending all across Red Square.

 Gum
Originally, gumming happened after printing and before perforation, usually because the paper had to be damp for printing to work well, but in modern times most stamp printing is done dry on pregummed paper.
On early issues, gum was applied by hand, using a brush or roller, but in 1880 De La Rue came up with a machine gumming process using a printing press, and gum is now always applied by machine.
The gum is universally spread as uniformly as possible, but a 1946 local issue by the town of Finsterwalde in Germany used an economy process where the back of the stamp had a regular pattern of circular bare patches.

The flagship store moved uptown to Herald Square at 34th Street and Broadway in 1902.
Beginning with one building, and through expanded new construction or merging, eventually it grew into the world's largest department store, with 198,500 m² (2,150,000 ft²) of selling floor (some claim that the GUM store is Moscow, Russia is larger).
Macy's now occupies the entire block from 7th Avenue to Broadway and 34th to 35th Streets—except for one small brownstone on the corner of 34th and Broadway, which remains a separate property, though rented by Macy's annually for a legendary figure, and camouflaged with giant signs.

For awhile after GUM closed a lot of homeless people were living there.
As for homelessness, one elderly mentally-disabled woman who I saw a year ago sleeping in GUM is now sleeping in the underground area of the Paregamutiune metro.
They were living in a derelict house in Agarak (the Aragatsotn one and not the Siunik one) and burning plastic to stay warm in the winter.

It was similar to the GUMs (Gosudarstvennyj Universalnyj Magazin) (State Universal Store) of other former Soviet Republics.
I had also heard that the abandoned GUM was a haven for junkies...
Likewise, I always assumed that the GUM people spoke about -- such as those talking about homelessness -- referred to the closed food market.
