Due to sanctions. No, I mean, most Western brands are still here, but new names appeared, some of them being a pure disguise. McDonald's is Vkusno i Tochka now, Pizza Hut is PizzaN, L'Occitane is L'Oksitan, Levi's is JNC, Zara is Maag, Pull & Bear is Dub, etc., etc., etc.
I visit that hypermarket quite often, virtually every week, and I don't see much difference compared with early 2022. Shelves are full, crowds are the same, and entertainment facilities are where they used to be. Oh, yes! Prices went notably up.
Otherwise, it's a place like any other all over the world. Come, shop, eat, relax, and enjoy.
As I did in mid-July.
