It's interesting but first McDonalds in Russia was opened one year
before USSR collapsed but still in Soviet era. It was opened not far
from the Square named for one of the most famous and greatest Russian
writers and poets, Alexander Pushkin. When it was opened, it was the
biggest McDonalds in the World! and still the biggest in Europe and
Russia.
In 15th episode of "Real Russia" we have visited a local McDonalds in our hometown Ufa, Russia and in the end presented an exclusive video filmed in 1990 years about many miles line in queque to the first McDonalds at Pushkin's Square in Russia.
When in the beginning of this month we was travelling to Moscow for an interview to RT channel, we had a little less than 200 usd in our pockets and for the reason of very limited budget ate mostly in McDonalds. Because just where yet you can get 800kcal for $5?
So and once we ate mostly in McDonalds we never missed the chance to visit that definitely legendary McD restraunt. :)
Sorry for a little shaky camera work inside of restraunt, but Sergey Pichugin held the camera the way it looked like we do not film but just walk in a photocamera in hands. We was afraid that Security will not let us to film again, same as it was in 15th episode.
