What was McDonald's first international restaurant opened in the Soviet Union commonly called?

McDonald's first restaurant in the Soviet Union was commonly called McDonald's Pushkin Square.

It opened in Moscow on January 31, 1990, at Pushkin Square. The location became famous for its crowds and for the striking contrast between an American fast-food brand and the Soviet capital's political and economic setting. News coverage treated the opening as a significant cultural event rather than an ordinary restaurant launch.

The restaurant also illustrated the practical side of global branding. McDonald's had to build local supply capacity and train workers while preserving the company's expected standards of cleanliness, preparation, and service. The familiar arches and name helped customers identify the brand, but the operation depended on substantial local infrastructure.

The answer is sometimes shortened simply to “the Moscow McDonald's.” Pushkin Square is the more precise identifying name and distinguishes the restaurant from later Moscow locations.
