MARXIM

The name of the restaurant makes it clear, and it is not surprising to see on the walls various coloured graffiti, including Lenin's greeting from the back of the room. You are not in the party canteen, just in a restaurant that remixes Soviet aesthetics for today's teenagers. Favorite of Gargarin, Marximaliste: pizzas have communist names. The speciality of the place is lepény, a kind of sandwich made of pizza dough, topped to everyone's taste. We might as well come over for a drink.
