Employees serve customers in a McDonald's restaurant on Pushkin Square in Moscow on Monday.<br /><br />The restaurant was the chain's first in the Soviet Union when it opened on January 31, 1990. When McDonald’s entered the Soviet Union, it had to supply its own ingredients.

Now the last one — burger buns — has been turned over to the private sector.
