when mcdonalds pulled out they just didn't close the mcdonalds. The buildings and people who work in the mcdonalds were already in Russia there is literally no reason they can't just stay open

Renamed to McBlyat, serving Big Pickle with Coca Vodka now.

I am almost aure they just nationalized the building and it keeps operating, although with a different menu as McDonald's no longer imports the ingredients. At least they don't make money out of it.

If I go to my local McD's anything I buy there will be made right here in Norway, and I assume it's the same in Russia and basically any other country they're in.
