In the firm's long history three men played the most important roles: Archibald Mirrielees, Andrew Muir and Walter Philip. Muir & Mirrielees: The Scottish Partnership that became a Household Name in Russia - tells the story of these unusual Scots, their families and the famous shop which they created. As Central Universal Stores (or TsUM) the shop still survives, and a Russian version of the book has already aroused considerable interest in Moscow. With the author's earlier books, When Miss Emmie was in Russia and The Smiths of Moscow, Muir & Mirrielees forms an Anglo-Russian trilogy. Harvey Pitcher's most recent publication is Witnesses of the Russian Revolution (John Murray, 1994).
