The involvement of the US parent company has been reduced to a minimum. Only the Russian ruble was accepted as a currency, which is a sign of McDonald’s confidence in the future. Another sign: due to import restrictions, McDonald’s Russia established almost the entire production chain on site, from farms to processing and packaging plants.

It took them no effort whatsoever to learn how to show that quintessential American smile and stay friendly at all times.
