New North Korean restaurant opens in Moscow, serving up fried chicken and kimchi

A new North Korean restaurant in Moscow is serving up fried chicken, kimchi and other classic Korean fare to “psychedelic” Juche tunes, expanding the DPRK’s culinary footprint in the Russian capital amid increasing bilateral ties.

The establishment, named “Pyongyang Restaurant” appears to employ a full staff of North Korean nationals in likely violation of U.N. sanctions, suggesting that the DPRK continues to lean on the overseas eateries to bring in foreign currency.
