Do you have any specific advice to the clothing? I would like to buy a russian vest and chapka.
I found
http://www.bask.ru/ Looks like they have everything I might need. However I'm asking here just in case you have something to add thx!
Do you want souvenirs or clothing in order not to get cold?
For the souvenirs - if you happen to be in Moscow - visit Stary Arbat (Старый Арбат) - there are lots of that stuff
In order not to get cold - just visit your local store and specially ask for clothing that could sustain temperatures of -30 to -40 Celcius. I think that would be enough.
And remember - two thinner pieces of clothing are warmer that a single thicker one.

If you happen to be on Stary Arbat, keep in mind that this place is very popular with tourists and prices of souvenirs are generally very high. If your visit to Stary Arbat is your last day in Moscow, then you might not care about prices but if you come across a good thing before your visit to Stary Arbat, you'd better buy it. The chance that it'll be more expensive that the same one on Stary Arbat is slim.
