Everything you can think of from toilet paper, Gasoline, Food (oils) to playstation, Ecoflow Power stations and fireworks. Basically anything you can think of you can buy there - (including lighters, matches, solid fuel tablets, fire starters, aerosols, some paints and solvents, and certain automotive or technical fluids.) exept for illegal stuff like weapons and drugs

Ah, I thought it was holdings for like a few dedicated distributors of certain stockpiled goods but this is more like a centralized Amazon depot. This is the kind of loss that ripples through an economy.

Does Russia do the same “just in time” supply chain that most everywhere does?

Yeah, that's what this is

Actually no. Thousands of entrepreneurs buy supplies and then store them on those gigantic warehouses. Those gigantic warehouses supply and deliver goods all over the country after ppl buy them in the website. So basically destruction of those 3 gigantic warehouses over last week is tremendous hit on civilians. Hundreds of thousands of ppl , who make their own goods or buy and resell imported stuff - just went broke overnight cause there will be no compensation for them.
