Western Brands "Left" Russia - The Truth About Sanctions 

absolute agree. by this reason Starbaks had max 1% of russian market

I wish I could here in the US. I get that you're saying about Russians living there but I had much better coffee on gas station in Poland than what I have here in Starbucks. Most of the people just wanna "flex" though, they don't care about taste.

Starbucks fucking sucks. In poland there are so much people that wants to basicly be like the "western people" but there is nothing better in them. So they drink this shit with more sugar than the coke. I think, that when starbucks makes their coffe some random indian guy needs to plant new Ha of land to grow that much sugar.

They do, that’s why Starbucks was never big in Russia 🤷‍♂️

Hah I was wondering the same thing!

Not really, back in the day there was "The network of certified shops of LEGO: Cube world" (Сеть сертифицированных магазинов LEGO: Мир кубиков). Nowadays "World of cubes" is not official and certified LEGO shop, and they use parallel import. But yeah, you're kinda right

Старбакс - это ужасный кофе, невозможно это воспринимать за прекрасный продукт, просто массмаркет. Самый лучший кофе - маленькие кофейни в Европе, в Италии, в Бельгии. Вот это можно пить. Либо самим искать годные зерна подходящего помола в России и заваривать через фильтр. Макдоналдс и старбакс - одно и тоже.

Western companies have long opened their production facilities in Russia through the procedure of buying former Soviet state-owned factories that produced various products. After the purchase of Russian enterprises, Western companies invested in modernization and made several product lines: International brands (Coca-Cola), Federal Russian brands (these are new brands based on Russian and Soviet recipes), as well as local regional brands (also based on local recipes). After the start of a special military operation in Ukraine and the imposition of sanctions, many Western companies decided to leave Russia. Their Russian production was purchased at a large discount of 50-90% Russian companies and businessmen. Now we have Russian and Western recipes, and produce various products with changed names. The losses of Western companies amounted to about $1 trillion, but they don't tell you about it in the West. There are productions that the Russian authorities have completely confiscated, for example, the production of Mercedes trucks at the site of the Russian manufacturer of heavy trucks KAMAZ, but Western authorities also prefer to keep silent about this in the West. Because it's a shame to admit that they decided to freeze Russian $ 300 billion, but at the same time lost almost $1 trillion. Western voters can ask a lot of unpleasant questions.

they rent retail space and warehouses, they do not own

@@firegirl24 well duh they don't own the retail space the mall owns that. H&M owns everything inside the retail space though including the clothing racks, changing rooms flooring ect. Yeah the mall owns the space but have you seen a blank mall space ever? The company renting it is expected to outfit the whole interior of the store just like if they were building a stand alone store. Everything from the carpet to the light fixtures H&M bought and paid for. That's why it actually looks like H&M in there and not a universal rental space. They aren't just simply renting the space the agreement is way more involved than that.

@@alec4672 everything you listed costs a penny and does not apply to real estate. H&M assets in Russia are worth nothing.

@@firegirl24 cost a penny?? You're mad dumb 😂 I've worked on mall spaces in the States before and that's hundreds of thousands of dollars for even a 40x40 Victoria Secret. Have you been in a Victoria Secret?? Everything you saw in the store was paid for by the company. Those fancy shiny panels and mirrors on the wall, the dressing room partitions, the register counter, all the wire for the fancy product lighting along with the lighting itself. Plus the weeks worth of labor to build out the inside of the store. They need to be able to liquidate the store before they can leave and they need permission from the Russian government in order to do that. You clearly are a cashier or factory worker and don't have a clue what you're talking about 😂😂 H&M has 170 locations in Russia, that's far from pennies of just completely left behind infrastructure and products.

@@alec4672hat nonsense. They can leave as much as they want with minimal expenses, and some did leave. However, huge brands like H&M etc get a huge chunk of their global profits coming from Russia, don’t forget this is a market of 145 million people, closing their stores in Russia is indeed a suicide because they’ll be losing enormous amounts of profits. So they stay and they keep their rent in these shopping centres until they’ll be ok to reopen again. They’re not idiots to leave such a huge market lol. Breaching contracts and loosing a bit of money for shelves and decorations is peanuts for them. They don’t want to breach any laws exactly for the reason because they don’t want to leave. Simple as that.

I guess it’s gonna be kinda TRANSitioning

ALSO USA

Trans heiser busch

They buy it in Russia because they know that doing so helps to destroy America.

Russia is a huge market... for oil, gas, other commodities. High technology, electronics, machines, are apparently not to be found at all, at least not in the civilian sector. And now it has also come true that even in the military field there are only a few "exhibits". You don't have to look to the west to find the culprits, rather look at those who strut around in winter jackets costing thousands of dollars and who chill by the pool with iwatches and iphones. 🤨

Пока что может и да, есть Китай и параллельный импорт плюс возможности обходить санкции. Но вы же понимаете что дальнейшее следование неолиберальному курсу президента Путина Россию вгонит в тотальную экономическую зависимость уже не от Запада, а от Китая. Вы уверены что хотите такой судьбы?

Lol. Your market is smaller than Spain or Italy. You over-proud citizen of shthole nedo-state. The reason why there are still western or western-like products in supermarkets - Chain Economy. Brands quit, but suppliers are still there. They still keep doing what they were doing, but eventually the quality of food will fall, because of lack of supervision and managing from western congomerates.

​@@Kazakh.Steppe_Ranger уж лучше быть в зависимости от Китая, хотя этого и не произойдёт

​@@Kazakh.Steppe_Ranger Вы такой смешной,представте,какая протяжность границы между Россией и Казахстаном,даже если официально Казахстан будет поддерживать санкции,это кого нибудь остановит?

Мы слава богу,граничим с многими странами и поток денег никто не захочет сокращать.

They're all made by the same Chinese factories, either way.

Thanks for telling it! Guilette was always ridiculously expensive even 13 years ago

I live in USA. I dont like Gillete razor blades. I always buy target brand. They r way cheaper and way better.

Yeah, he says Russians pay 40% more for cheese since the sanctions started. Well, Americans pay 40% more for all their groceries since Biden became president. So the sanctions really don't sound so bad.

Russians use the public transport in Moscow. Moscow oublic transport is very good, while traffic bad.

This Hypermall is in the center of Nothern district of Moscow, actually, 15 min of leusure walk from my home, More than 100k of people could just walk here every day. There is a metro station in 5min from the shop, 3 bus stations, and moscow taxi is cheap, like a quarter of Moscow citizens would pay 5usd for the ride to AVIAPARK mall, you would spend more time and money with your personal car to get here than in a taxi.

US and NATO are the problem for war,Russia had no choice!

@@laylaabdullah1093 maybe you should

If the Ukrainian authorities did not arrange the genocide of the Russian-speaking population, did not sell the lives of Ukrainians for 30 silver coins, there would be no war.

I hope Putin is deposed and sent to Gitmo. I literally fear for what is about to happen -- Putin will probably nuke Kyiv then we Americans will nuke Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kaliningrad and probably several mid size Russian cities. We will probably lose San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, NYC, Washington DC, Boston, Miami and God knows where else.

Americans that haven't permanently left Russia are risking being sent to the GULAG. I know I won't be stepping foot in Russia until Putin is overthrown and they are the newest US colony. I believe we Americans will win the war against Russia, it is just a matter of how many Russian cities get the nuclear treatment first.

I mean it's same in UK, Germany and France

lmao. You're a zombie.

Chill, CNN viewer

That says a lot about western democracy and freedom of speech.

I don't think the USA or Europe have ever been suppliers of military tech to Russia. Or parts for military equipment either. So that will have no effect at all.

I'm not sure what they were. They might taste good, but they looked like a bar of soap, honestly.

And you really think you do?

Do you know? Or are you still under the effect of western propaganda?

@@YukiMiaka90 what?

​@@quboss2008 Ukraine had civil war for 8 years bombing its own citizens. Goggle 2 may 2014 Odessa, they burnt people alive for different political views e.t.c, bunch of shit done by the new Ukrainian government which was placed by the United Stated in 2014 as a result of a coup made by Britain and the US as a result of which the civil war unleashed with thousands of civilians died, banned political parties, killed journalists e.t.c. In 2015 the Minsk agreements were signed between Ukraine, Russia, Germany and France designed to end the conflict, but the Ukrainian authorities constantly sabotaged their implementation for the freaking 7 years, and a few months ago the former president of Ukraine admitted that he signed these agreements only to buy time to build up military force and he did not plan to implement them at all. If you think that Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022 for absolutely no reason, because Putin just went crazy, then you're an idiot who know absolutely nothing about what's really going on.

Nazis are being wasted.

Good evening! I'm not a particularly rich person, even by Russian standards, but in general, even under sanctions, life here is not bad. Some products have disappeared, some have become a little more expensive, but in general nothing unusual. Supermarkets are full of food. The only problems that may be with electronics, appliances and clothing, only parallel imports really help here, and these vezi really have become one and a half times more expensive. It is a pity that the sanctions are not hitting those who started this war, but the common people. Have a nice day!

And our workers were from the former southern countries of the USSR, and even now their salaries in Russia are higher for them than in their native countries, so there are no problems with this. There are more problems with construction equipment at construction sites. And about the shopping center: we have 20-30 such large shopping centers in Moscow, they are not expensive. It's just an ordinary place where people go to shop, though nothing unusual, everyone can afford it. Now that's it for sure, I'm going to bed :)

@@guraz1130 да ты что, мы ж тут воду из колодца носим и медведей гоняем... 😉😄😄 (как бы им того не хотелось✌😄)

Most of those products on the shelves are produced in Russia. So their prices haven't changed a lot. Prices on some imported goods rose up, but that but that only reduced their competitiveness. Now they are being squeezed out of the market by analogues from Russia and friendly countries, such as China.

This IS real Russia. You don't know Russians or anything about Russia, it's very obvious from your comment. Average Russians don't care about name brands. They couldn't care less that they left Russia. No more Starbucks? No McDonalds?? Average Russians don't care because they don't eat there. And those who used to eat there they found new places that came to the Russian market instead of them. So in the end, it's their loss for leaving. Plus, don't think that these sanctions will hurt only Russia, they will hurt those who imposed them and those who left just as much if not more. Sorry to disappoint you!
