As far as I heard of…the logo design is turned clockwise and the yellow M put on a line ,which gives a Cyrillic letter B , standing for V as in their new name Dyadya Vanya, meaning something like Uncle Vanya. Although I still don’t know how the burgers will be called, I know the changed beverages names, Cool Cola, Fancy and Street. I guess you know what that formerly was…lol

McDonald’s biggest mistake! They’ll be begging Russia to let them back in soon!

They didn't have any choice. Public opinion in their larger markets is very anti-Russia now and the embargoes make getting any outside food items impossible.
It is likely that Putin has already delegated a crony to own the entire operation at fire-sale prices. Putin is looking forward to his 20% "taste", just like he did with MTV-Russia.

MacD will leave Russia selling franchise system to Russian owners and will be the same western sanctions or not. Anyhow, I wonder =Z= propaganda of this Putin's regime still going really will help the taste of Russian freedom. I think MacD do much better slogans to "manipulate" Russians with =M=.

Those two boys are now old enough to have kids of their own that age. One wonders what they think looking back at that old image?
