The opening of the first Russian McDonald’s was a really big deal. But 30 years later, amid pressure from US consumers to protest Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, McDonald’s announced it would be temporarily closing all 850 locations in Russia. In an unprecedented movement, over 750 companies have since curtailed operations in Russia.

Hi, there’s no the broken ice machine problem in Russia. I just watched CNBC investigation about that hilariously mystery broken problem and asked some friends who are quite close to fast food business(kfc, subway, Burger King, etc) and when I was asking about ice cream machines (according to CNBC report) they always tell me in response that they HAVE NEVER MET and never heard about that! And a couple of times when I visited McDonald’s and ordered ice cream I was asking employers about that and they had no idea about that problem either.

The fact that McDonalds are still paying their employees in Russia is actually one of the best things I have ever heard. The employees have nothing to do with the invasion itself, and they give them paid until they can get another job. Its a huge loss of money for McDonalds, but they are willing to take.

More about the actual impact of McDonald's pulling out of Russia would be helpful. In addition to the restaurants, McDonalds built a whole supply chain to support the restaurants. What is happening to the contracts with potato farmers, beef farmers, truckers, McDonalds processing facilities. I thought CNBC was a business news channel. Is this just click bait for a story about McDonalds arriving in Russia 30-years ago? There is so much more to this story than the retail locations.

What nobody does consider is that this directly affects all Russian citizens, even those who don’t support the Kremlin. By making their lives more difficult and cutting them off from the west, it could eventually turn them into supporters of the Kremlin. Just imagine everyone hates and mistreats you because you are born in some country, even if you don’t agree with your government. You would be mad at the others and start developing some kind of nationalism, because everyone is feeling like you. And now you start supporting your regime because you start hating the others.

That’s kind of true. And actually 2 days ago some locations reopened under a new name but with the same menu, minus Big Mac and couple of other items that are heavily associated with Mc brand. They sold the rights to do it to some businessman who was working with McDonalds for many years. So the impact isn’t that big for the people and especially workers. And the lines were like in the 90s on the first day. So it’s a big deal.

people in the USSR were just curious. When I first came to the U.S. and tried McDonalds I was pretty disappointed - mostly because my new American friends seemed to make a big deal about it, and made it seem that it was something really special. We had burgers in the USSR. We just didn't make sandwiches out of them - they were eaten with a fork and knife with some side dishes, just a like steak. There were REALLY important differences between USSR and U.S. - for example, the ability to freely travel outside the country! A burger sandwich? Really not a big deal.

Here in Norway, we also have those non-"sandwich" burgers which we eat with a fork and knife - we call them "karbonader". Though less common today, during social gatherings, we often serve them on a single slice of bread with lettuce under and fried onions ontop (was at a time a very popular lunch meal at cafes too). Or more commonly: we have them for dinner (no bread), usually served with potatoes and any kind of mixed salad, which is absolutely delicious.

The best thing can happen to a country is McDonald's leaving. McDonald's leaves the island of Jamaica because they want to sell their fake meat in Jamaica and the government insisted that they use local cows not that imported sh!t. Since McDonald's leaves Jamaica obesity decrease but not to the level it was before McDonald's, because with McDonald's comes other American contamination in our supermarkets and many of our people have foreign mind and local body.

Yeah, Mc Donalds is propably doing the population a favor by disappearing. Unfortunately, they are being replaced by some new russian chain, and it'll most likely as bad as the Orignial. But yes, I wouldn't miss McD, Burger King or whatnot either, here in Germany as well. Just get rid off them all, barely anyone will be angry, and those who will are propably the ones who shouldn't eat that much junkfood in the first place.

"its not great food" - well since they're one of the biggest, if not THE biggest restaurant chain in the world a lot of people certainly disagree. Just because something isnt the highest quality doesnt mean it isnt great. Everything is a compromise and obviously tons of people think that mcdonalds is great food, for the price if nothing else.

@@shmel3689 yeah that's a good point. McDonald's know they'll not only get sued into bankruptcy but they'll also get even more hate. I don't understand people who goes to Micky D's, pay$5 for an entire meal and then get disappointed, upset and sometimes downright disgusted because it isn't the same quality as a 3 star Michelin restaurant... Like Jesus Christ people.... Either that or they just like to virtue signal their hatred of the company.

"Every cloud has a silver lining! " Maybe now the Russians will start eating healthier food. All 62,000 McDonald's employees continue to work there. The company's monthly costs to ensure that all of the company's obligations to employees and suppliers will be up to $50 million per month, the company confirmed.

When they open a Chick-fila in the midwest (we don't have many here), it's met with about the same fan fare. I have never had it, but I won't wait more than 20 minutes before getting seated in a nice restaurant, nevermind fast food.

I remember I saw an interview made by RT on the last day of McDonald's opened in Russia. There's a huge line of people waiting to taste the big Mac one last time (according to RT). They ask one of the random guys in that line about how he feels McDonald's pulled out of Russia. That guy said: "Well, big Mac does taste great, but I cannot sell my soul for that."
