Twenty years ago, on January 31, 1990, some 5,000 people gathered in Moscow's Pushkinskaya Square, waiting for the opening of a McDonald's restaurant, the first one in the Soviet Union.
Twenty years ago, on January 31, 1990, some 5,000 people gathered in Moscow's Pushkinskaya Square, waiting for the opening of a McDonald's restaurant, the first one in the Soviet Union.
The previous record was registered when the first McDonalds outlet opened in the Hungarian capital, Budapest, attracting 9,100 people in the first day.
In 1990, a hamburger cost 1.5 rubles, and a Big Mac cost 3.75 rubles. An average salary then did not exceed 150 rubles in the Soviet Union, and a one-month bus ticket cost 3 rubles.
In 1993, Russia's second McDonald's outlet opened in the central Moscow pedestrian street, the Old Arbat. Another restaurant opened in Moscow's central Tverskaya Street in the same year.
The restaurant chain currently serves a total of around 600,000 people in Russia daily.
