McDonald’s restaurants began to be liquidated in Russia after the chain announced on May 16 that it was closing 850 stores permanently. The move came in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

“The humanitarian crisis caused by the war in Ukraine and the resulting unpredictable work environment has led McDonald’s to conclude that continuing to have business in Russia is no longer sustainable and is not in line with McDonald’s values,” the company said in a statement. .

McDonald’s employed 62,000 people but promised to keep jobs. Elena Chilingarian, a A McDonald’s spokesperson said last week that it has plans to start a new fast food company, which will likely open its doors this June.

The first McDonald’s restaurant in Russia opened 30 years ago. The departure of the group carries great symbolic and economic weight, as McDonald’s was one of the first Western brands to establish itself in Moscow shortly before the collapse of the Soviet Union.

McDonald’s presence in Russia has become a symbol of the end of the Cold War.
