Muscovites try the new Russian-owned McDonald's
Hundreds of Muscovites attended the re-branded McDonald's restaurants, which finally reopened as "Vkusno i Tochka" ("Tasty and that's it" in Russian).
The first 15 restaurants of the chain, counting over 850 branches in 62 regions, reopened on Russia Day. The new owner Alexander Govor pledged to reopen all of the restaurants nationwide within one month.
On March 14, the US fast-food giant suspended its operations in the country, in response to the Russian aggression in Ukraine. Later in May, McDonald's definitively left the Russian market and sold its business to Govor, who owned some of the franchised restaurants in Siberia.
