Users of the Threads social network noticedthat in the Russian city of Kazan, the concept of the famous Lviv establishment "Drunken Cherry" was copied. Russians opened a restaurant called "Horse and Cherry," which they position as a steakhouse-cabaret; however, they used someone else's intellectual property for its design.
Russian restaurateurs almost completely copied the corporate identity and logo of "Drunken Cherry," which depicts a girl with red hair and cherries in her hands. They also used an identical design for bottle labels, and the tincture is served to guests in the same crystal glasses as in Lviv.
In a comment to "Tvoe Misto" Taras Maselko, PR director of the emotional holding "!FEST," reported that this is not the first theft by Russians from Lviv restaurateurs.
“Thefts – it's their DNA. We've repeatedly seen them open either a 'Rebernia' or something 'licked off' the Lviv Chocolate Workshop. So here, one can only laugh again that they are incapable of creating their own, but only stealing successful ideas from the democratic world..." – he commented.

He added that this is not the first instance of Russia attempting to illegally copy famous Ukrainian brands. Previously, similar plagiarism attempts were recorded regarding other projects of the Lviv emotional holding "!FEST," including the restaurant chains "Rebernia" and "Lviv Chocolate Workshop."
