KFC is not really new to either Ukraine or Russia. A Russian chicken chain named “Rostik’s” had copied the KFC recipes and had developed quite a following in the years when places like Russia and Ukraine weren’t as friendly to foreign fast food restaurants. KFC eventually purchased Rostik’s and operated the restaurants under the KFC-Rostik’s brand. In 2011 KFC removed the Rostik’s label and renamed all 164 restaurants as simply “KFC.”
