Moscow State Duma сanteen drops "Chicken Kyiv" from menu PHOTO

The State Duma canteen in Moscow has stopped serving Chicken Kyiv under that name, replacing it on the menu with a dish called “cutlet with butter,” according to journalist Alexander Yunashev, who reported the change on his Telegram channel.

A photograph published by Yunashev shows the butter-filled cutlet priced at 270 rubles, or about $3.20. At the Moscow restaurant chain Brusnika, a similar dish — which is still called Chicken Kyiv there — costs 435 rubles, or roughly $5.15.

The Agency Telegram channel noted that this is not the first instance of Chicken Kyiv being renamed in the canteens of Russian state institutions.

Even before the start of the full-scale war, The New York Times journalist Ivan Nechepurenko reported that the Russian Foreign Ministry’s canteen served a dish called Chicken Crimea instead of Chicken Kyiv.

After the start of the full-scale war, some publicly accessible cafes and restaurants in Russia also changed the name of Chicken Kyiv on their menus.
