May 22, 1997.] Later, Vladimir Guralnik, "the head of the confectionery shop at the Praga restaurant inMoscow " attempted to make the candy into a cake. The cake -- "light sponge cake filled with Guralnik's ethereal souffle and topped with chocolate glaze" -- was first sold in Russia in 1978. Due to lack of intellectual property laws at the time, the recipe quickly became picked up by others and many other restaurants in Moscow - Moskva, Budapest and Ukraina - started making the cake. In the 1980s, "the food ministry had to build a Ptichye Moloko factory in Novye Cheryomushky in south Moscow." As recently as 2007, however, Guralnik was still in charge of the Praga restaurant.References
