![]() "Russians are not opposed to what America produces," said Italian-Russian translator Susanna Agababyan, 21, who attended the store's grand opening this week. "They put something in it. I had the original. It's really tasty," she said. "Today I tasted this for the first time. And I decided maybe it was worth it," accounting student Mikhail Kiselyov said. The Washington Post reported Saturday that Kiselyov was commenting, specifically, on a chocolate doughnut with sprinkles. The new doughnut shop, the Post said, was a study in contrasts. The store is nestled on a street in an 866-year-old city between the ominous Kremlin and the headquarters for Russia's secret police, which the Post called "the dreaded Lubyanka." |
