The station itself is very good, the repair is decent, neat, the food is delicious (at least no poisoning was noticed). There are many shops, ATMs, we were pleased with the presence of a hotel where you can stay right on arrival, all shops / mobile phone shops are nearby. But the attitude towards visitors and sidelong glances is something...
We went to the "Gold Exchange" to buy silver jewelry with national paintings. There is a very large selection of jewelry, there is something to see and there is something to buy. I will not say anything about the quality, since I am not a jeweler or an expert.
The station building and the person are very nice and modern, as are the trains. Many people at the station speak Russian, as well as at the ticket office. There are no problems, there are charging facilities, toilets, exchangers, and electronic scoreboards.
