Elsewhere in the city the Palace of Culture (Kultur Sarayi) can provide a good evening of entertainment and holds a variety of performances throughout the year. If you are looking for bargains to take home, the Russian Market (Rus Pazari) sells all sorts of things and is the place to practice your haggling.
