Russian coffeehouse

Russian coffeehouse
«Русское кафе». Первоначально русским кафе назвали паб 'The Brown Bear' («Бурый медведь») на Боу-стрит в Ковент-Гардене в Лондоне. Этот паб был излюбленным местом как для воров, так и для тех, кто их выслеживал. Название паба не имеет ничего общего с русским характером; он также не являлся местом встреч русских соотечественников в Лондоне. Просто медведь всегда считался на Западе исконно русским зверем.
