McDonald’s to Sell Its Russian Business, Try to Keep Workers
SnopesAPR 2 2022
McDonald's choice to exit from Russia should be applauded. The Golden Arches used to symbolize that Western values had penetrated the Iron Curtain; the company's wise exit is now a symbol of democracy curdling under Putin.
The sale of McDonald's will provide an opportunity for Russian businesses to come in and fill the void. This will not only provide the Russian people with a replacement eatery but also a chance to strengthen the national economy.
