Pro-Kremlin rapper who calls Putin a "die-hard superhero" takes over Domino's Pizza outlets in Russia

A pro-Kremlin rapper and a Russian restaurateur announced Wednesday that were taking over all the former Domino's pizza outlets in the country, changing the "I" in Domino for the equivalent Cyrillic letter "и." Apart from the lettering, the logo appeared little changed.

Anton Pinskiy and rapper Timati last year bought 130 coffee shops once owned by Starbucks in Russia, changing the name to Stars Coffee.

Both U.S. corporations pulled out of the country in light of its ongoing invasion of Ukraine, which has prompted a dizzying array of economic sanctions against Moscow by the U.S. and its allies.
