In Russia, after the war started and McDonald's left, it was renamed Vkusno i Tochka (Tasty and Dot)

I landed at Domodedovo in Moscow in 2013. Ready to see this incredible new place I've never experienced before, I walked out into the main arrivals area, and right there was a Cinnabon.

I believe my exact words were "We did it. We beat communism..."

I landed at Domodedovo in Moscow in 2013. Ready to see this incredible new place I’ve never experienced before, I walked out into the main arrivals area, and right there was a Cinnabon.

Reminds me of the penultimate verse of the Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris (2010) by Pig With The Face Of A Boy.

And now the wall is down, the Marxists frown
There’s foreign shops all over town
When in Red Square, well don’t despair
There’s Levi’s and McDonald’s there
The US gave us crystal meth
And Yeltsin drank himself to death
But now that Putin’s put the boot in,
Who’ll get in our way?
