In 1990, about 30,000 Russians braved the January frost to line up in Moscow’s Pushkin Square. The payoff for the hourslong wait was the first taste of burgers and fries from the country’s inaugural McDonald’s restaurant.
In the years that followed, Western businesses flocked to Russia, seeking to profit from the country’s lurch from communism to capitalism. They introduced American fast food, cars and fashion to a generation accustomed to Soviet-era shortages, and in many cases built sizable businesses. Starbucks , iPhones and IKEA became a part of daily life for middle-class Russians in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
yes and a bonus for Russia, thousands of businesses for free, Germany has 6000, they already using 150 fast food outlets not good for Germany, UK, USA, big losses, this war taking away USA dominance of dollar sales China, India, Saudi using other currencies?
McDonald's se fué y cerró 847 restaurantes en Rusia. Los rusos giraron el logotipo, ahora se llama 'Tío Vanya', seguirán con el mismo surtido y a menos precio.
I am sure Russia will make good use of us businesses and six thousand German,plus others they have hit the jack pot?
The US is involved in this war created by them in Ukraine directly. But if they can't get involved out of fear they can do the same as in Ukraine. The US can arm and finance non-NATO countries to fight Russia.
McComrad and KGB chicken will rise!
All Russia's neighbor have suffered miserable hurt in the history. Armed aggression,Seized territory,Genocide etc. all kinds of criminal antihuman behavior they have done past and now. For safty & justice of the World, To destroy Russia Nazi dictatorial regime completely.💪💪💪🇺🇦
WSJ, now go after Nestle USA!
Yes..McDonald's is leaving Russia...
Burger King said it was happy.🤣🤣🤣
But China is a fine place to do business. The hypocrisy isn't lost on us.
Sanctions dont impact Putin’s daily life, they destroy regular Russians lives. Obviously Putin’s actions couldn’t go unanswered but this “sanction them into oblivion” strategy has only managed to cripple worlds 5th largest economy, and erase any progress made since last cold war
Some Ukrainian children will not be around to even be given the chance to worry. I have no pity for the Russians living in darkness they endorsed and embraced.
Quick... Let's get to McDonald's.. We are fucked.
Simple solution. Remove Putin from power. Send him to The Hague. Things go back to normal and better than before. Install Navalny and enjoy democracy and prosper. Putins removal ends the worlds suffering at his sociopathic hands.
We can live change is good but at least western BS has damaged our system our thought process so it is indeed good we will be happy if Facebook gets banned today in eastern world. I never liked starbucks tbh over priced coffee of the poor people.
For the sins of one man, millions will face social disconnectivity. But this also begs the question as to how long will the common citizen put dictators in office? Where has the sense of social judgment disappeared?
Good luck being poor. Thanks to your authoritarian dictator Vladimir Putina.

The evil empire of lies is falling. Media is covering up that the regime in Ukraine is overrun with lying fascists, Nazis spreading fakenews, and cowards using human shields. Videos in pinned tweet. Join the CancelZelensky project to SaveUkraine!
