Where Crimeans used to chomp down on Big Macs, they will soon be able to order a Czar Cheeseburger as Russian chain Rusburger opens in a former McDonald’s Corp. outlet in the annexed peninsula.

RusBurger plans to open this month on the site in Sevastopol’s Prospekt Nakhimova street, Georgy Aslanyan, the company’s head of development, said by phone. He declined to disclose whether RusBurger will replace two other restaurants that McDonald’s had in Crimea, saying only that RusBurger plans to further expand its network in the region.
