Since being introduced to the market in the 1990s, Dosirac has become one of the most popular brands of instant noodles in Russia and Central Asian nations such as Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, albeit slightly rebranded as Doshirac (Доширак in Cyrillic). It was first introduced to Russians through sellers who visited Korea via the port of Busan. To facilitate its growing popularity in the country, Paldo opened a subsidiary in Russia in 2002. It makes up over 60% of the instant noodle market in Russia and its immense popularity has led people in the country to refer to all instant noodles as Doshirac. In June 2019, Paldo applied to register Doshirac as a trademark with Russia's patent office; after being rejected, the application sparked a court case that Paldo eventually won in 2021.
