🍂 Down with autumn blues!

💃 Let's take a cue from the grandmothers of Moscow; they’ve been dancing the Latin with Cuban dance instructor Jordan since early morning.

These dance classes are held regularly and for free as part of the "Moscow Longevity" program.

🍔 Did you know that burgers appeared in Russia as early as the 1930s? They were brought to the Soviet Union by Anastas Mikoyan — the People's Commissar of the Food Industry.

👀 He visited the USA and was so impressed by the production of burgers that he decided to feed Soviet workers with them. Burgers were referred to in a Soviet way as "hot cutlets." They resembled their foreign counterpart very little: the cutlet was served without a bun, ketchup, or onions. It was simply placed between two slices of bread, sometimes adding a piece of cucumber and sour cream. The only variation was in the type of bread the customer chose — white or gray.

🍟 After the war, the famous cutlets, which had long been called Mikoyan cutlets, appeared in urban cafeterias and cost only 7 kopecks. The next time Muscovites tried real burgers was 50 years later, in 1990, when the first large McDonald's opened in the capital.

Write in the comments what you think is better - Mikoyan cutlets or McDonald's burgers.
