Duma cafeteria renames 'kotleta po-kievski'

At the start of the autumn session, the Kyiv-style cutlet has disappeared from the State Duma cafeteria, noted Kremlin pool correspondent Alexander Yunashov.

Consensus

The dish previously known as 'kotleta po-kievski' has been renamed to 'kotleta so sливochnym masлом' in the State Duma cafeteria.
The change was reported by journalist Alexander Yunashov, a correspondent for the Kremlin pool.
The new name was announced on September 29 coinciding with the start of the autumn session of the State Duma.
The dish is priced at 270 rubles per portion.
The dish consists of a breaded cutlet with butter inside.
The change is part of a broader trend of renaming food items with Ukrainian associations in Russia.
