My parents come from Mordovia, so we often drive by when we pass Umyot (that's the way you should spell it - not Umet) when we go to visit relatives. I've never dined neither in Nika, nor in Samsung or MordDonalds, though. Will try ;) I know businesses there were terrorized by some hoodlums, at least in the lawless 90s. But it happens everywhere, esp. on the road, I think. Anyway, I've never been affected by anything bad there. So DO drive by and taste meals there, they're cheap and home-made, I think you'll like them.
