The first Rostic's restaurant, supposed to replace the KFC brand in Russia, opened its doors Tuesday in Moscow. Some elements of the decor have been modified and the image of Colonel Sanders, emblem of the brand, has disappeared.
In total, the American chain had more than 1,100 establishments in Russia. Many large Western companies have left Russia, for ethical reasons or because of difficulties in conducting their activities. For many, the resurrection of Rostic’s harks back to the first years after the fall of the USSR.
