Russian and East European supermarket in Leyton. According to their website it is one of two, the other is in Hounslow.

secretlondon visited in September 2015 with Russian and Polish friends. The supermarket is large and has a lot of chilled meat products, things in jars etc. Most of the labels seemed to be in Cyrillic.

One thing to note is that there was a lot of duplication. In some places they had lots of one type of a particular item where you would normally expect multiple items. For example a particular type of Russian lemonade filled a large part of one of the aisles, and some fridges seemed empty. I suppose this could have been caused by the sanctions against Russia affecting what they can import.

I bought some Lithuanian dark rye bread (made in the UK) which was nice and some non-alcoholic kvass. They had no beer, sadly, but had spirits. I was told that some of their brands are 'knock offs', products that are designed to look nearly like a well-known brand, but not quite. This is something that would be hard for a visitor to pick up.
