Russia is the one promoting war, not America. You, westerners, are completely blind and ignorant to what happens in Russia, and what they are feeling. Russia has been returning to militarism, revanchism, and imperialist ideas since the early 2010s. Anyone who followed just a bit of Russian media, or look at what books they had in the libraries (you would be shocked by the amount of Stalinism promotion that has been going on since the 2010s), knew that Russia has been preparing for this invasion for nearly a decade. You in the West idolize Putin, and Russia, and think that Russia wants peace and harmony, all while Russian politicians, officials, intellectuals, and civilians, had been going on about Russia being surrounded by Fascists and the fact that is Russia's fate to rebuild the Soviet Union to its former glory and destroy the US and Europe since the cold war ended, but even more so in the past 12-15 years.
They have other super-store retailers. Mostly European, but those will be sold off to Russian buyers, soon. Except for the French. This time, they simply refuse to surrender to cancel culture. Good for them!
Same rubbish food high in saturated fats and chemicals. An opportunity to educate folks about what they are eating and what is does to their bodies has been lost, because of a need to show that the Kremlin isn't being affected by the sanctions whilst making a Russian millionaire even richer. This is what is wrong with the world today.
Tochka is a multipurpose word for something definitive, be it dot in writing, geometry point, precise placement or exact meaning. With conjunction, "and tochka" can be dual translated as "i mean it, here is the spot". The most common translation i've seen so far is "tasty and that's it". It is pretty correct translation and catches the mood IMHO.
I'd be curious if the new restaurant has bigger burgers than McDonald's? All of McDonald's burgers in the West have shrunk majorly since the 1980's! And cost a lot more!
I guess it’s kind of like how Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia. Except the burgers at Hungry Jacks have the same original American names.
Not the machinery...so give it a year. Most of people only see the end product, but have a closer look on the methodology of McDonalds and you will see it's not as simple as flipping a burger paty. After all they did not get to be one of the biggest fast food corporations for nothing.
@@EyFmS They will still be involved in operations. They sold to their largest franchisee to ensure that quality standards are maintained. Don't be surprised to see earnings from a "Russian operation" show up on McDonalds' income statement in a couple of years. Even if they control that operation from another country in order to hide this fact.
They are different. You would be surprised! Wait a couple of years for things to settle down and for visa restrictions for "unfriendly countries" to be lifted.
Well done Russia. You have saved the future generations with umpteen health issues due to MSG, HVP, synthetic vinegar and so many other chemical taste enhancers and preservatives. Obesity is one of the major issues. India should also kicked out KFC, McDonald, Dominos, Pizza Hut and others. Instead promote samosa, cutlet, kachori, kulcha, dahi vada etc.

I'm an american and mcPUKE should be banned period. I haven't eaten anything mcVOMIT in about 4 decades or so as when as a teen I got really nauseous after eating a Big PUKE. Went several years after that and tried a Big DISGUSTING again and got nauseous again and it's been NO mcGARBAGE ever since. Yet I can eat other fast food like Burger King and Wendy's and so forth and am fine.
OK so nobody is going to say anything about the reason Mcdonald's left was because Russia invaded Ukraine? They probably had pretty good food in Ukraine too until they were attacked.
President Putin is the greatest President right now. The Russian people are the greatest and most resilient, quick reacting people in the world right now. MacDonalds loss is Russia's gain. And President Putin has been proven right once again.
When it was announced that most foreign companies are leaving Russia because of Ukraine, I laughed at those companies because they are definitely going to lose. Russia is eager to take over your offices and showcase to the world what they can do without your brand. Is it not happening now? RUSSIA CAME PREPARED! Don't ever underestimate them! They are going to do more! That guy Putin is a genius. He would make you look ordinary after dealing with you. He is calm, that's where his power lies. Fear people that are always calm even in the face of provocations!
This is Russia righteously seizing Foreign Business Properties / Items and they'll replace and rebrand more as Payment for USA Troubles.

@@legatilegions8055 they are a company and are always chasing profit it was only for the face value they left Russia as soon as the War ends Foreign companies will be back silently as not to anger public but back for sure
Maybe if the USA would locally source the products that were sold it would taste better. At least everything that will grow. Imagine a burger with fresh vegetables,potatoes that taste like potatoes. Chicken sandwiches that are freshly battered with local chicken. FRESH bread.
By leaving Russia, these westerns companies have left Idea, Resource, and infrastructure for Russian companies to open similar company by rebranding. Soon they will start going international.
This is like expecting Congo to cover its territory domestically produced fast modern rail lines after it got its independence because the colonist left a rail line and a train behind. Fraying potatoes on the stove left to you, in the kitchen left to you, in the shop left to you, is simple. Developing that further is more complicated, and Russian oligarchs don't like a complicated business, that why they always outsource or buy from outside, instead of trying to produce at home. Russia didn't really manage to produce and export pretty much anything competitive other than natural resources.
@@davidgreen5994 If they don't start growing home and accept the change they will suffer. Russia is not knows much for suffering. Also, you can't compare or use Congo when it is about Russia.
@@davidgreen5994 Russia exported resources to the west. However, Eurasia was their market for finished goods. Even automobiles were exported to the Eurasian zone. FWIW, Russia is not Congo. Not even close. A lot of the hi-tech patents used in communications devices were acquired by the Koreans from Russia in the 80s and 90s. Russians have historically not been adept at commercializing their inventions or patents. This does not mean that they "cannot automate and take potato frying" to the next level.

When i was in Russia in 2017, we tried HesBurger (Finnish Brand) . It was actually better than McDonalds
for those of you who don't know russian - vkusno translates as tasty or delicious, and tochka can be translated as 'the spot' (more of a slang thing).
Tochka is a multipurpose word for something definitive, be it dot in writing, geometry point, precise placement or exact meaning. With conjunction, "and tochka" can be dual translated as "i mean it, here is the spot". The most common translation i've seen so far is "tasty and that's it". It is pretty correct translation and catches the mood IMHO.
I'd be curious if the new restaurant has bigger burgers than McDonald's? All of McDonald's burgers in the West have shrunk majorly since the 1980's! And cost a lot more!
Everything has shrunk..soap..breakfast cereal..chocolate bars.etc....
In some parts of the West, like the UK, the government dictated the burgers be shrunk to combat obesity.
The Western burgers will soon be shrunk to peanut size 😇
@@aduduodudu7893 And "fluffy" folks will buy them by the bag.
I guess it’s kind of like how Burger King is called Hungry Jacks in Australia. Except the burgers at Hungry Jacks have the same original American names.
Didn’t doubt this would happen considering 95% was domestically sourced
Not the machinery...so give it a year. Most of people only see the end product, but have a closer look on the methodology of McDonalds and you will see it's not as simple as flipping a burger paty. After all they did not get to be one of the biggest fast food corporations for nothing.
@@EyFmS They will still be involved in operations. They sold to their largest franchisee to ensure that quality standards are maintained. Don't be surprised to see earnings from a "Russian operation" show up on McDonalds' income statement in a couple of years. Even if they control that operation from another country in order to hide this fact.
@@EyFmS that’s facts
I hope every should follow this. Eventually this will end sanctions from depending countries and also helps one's own economy.
Good to know that those employees are keeping their jobs. Russia, be strong. The world is watching how to survive sanctions
Great mother Russia peace and love.
Lol starting a war is peace and love 😂
Can’t wait this Russia’s franchise going global 👏👏👏
Russia is a role model for the entire world 👏
Wow! That's amazing how Russia so quickly opened all renamed all McDonald's brunches. Must be Russian economy booming!!🎆
Great decision by Russian authorities. All countries should follow this. I like the new brand logo that resembles M 👍🏼
Bruh, I wanna visit Russia now 😆.
The Russian people are different from the ones portrayed on the news.
They are different. You would be surprised! Wait a couple of years for things to settle down and for visa restrictions for "unfriendly countries" to be lifted.
Hi from Russia 😄

Honestly, it's probably gonna serve healthier food than the real McDonalds. Ever see 'Supersize Me'?
I was one of the first in 1990 to eat McDonals in Moscow Tverskaya Ulitsa. I tried McDonalds early in summer of 1989 in Nuremberg Germany.
Food looks better than McDonald's 👍🇺🇲
Good move . All the best to you.
Well done Russia 🇷🇺 👏 💪
Less cancer in Russia, good job
Except for one MINOR nitpick: They're selling the SAME product.
@@donaldcarey114 nah, nothing can match the toxicity levels of Maccie D
@@jbt159 It IS a high bar, but history has shown us that Russia is very good at producing poisons, so don't let your guard down.
Well done Russia. You have saved the future generations with umpteen health issues due to MSG, HVP, synthetic vinegar and so many other chemical taste enhancers and preservatives. Obesity is one of the major issues. India should also kicked out KFC, McDonald, Dominos, Pizza Hut and others. Instead promote samosa, cutlet, kachori, kulcha, dahi vada etc.
With all do respect but indian food taste like SHIT specially samosa
Lmao, those indian oily streets food which have those special ingredients which get extracted from scratching a$$🤣🤣🤣🤣
dude, they are still selling junk food, it's not a replacement of junk food 😂
@@abhilashkashyap6600 I have to agree
@@abhilashkashyap6600 but who knows to get McDonald's flavours they might also add the same chemicals
It looks good and im sure its healthier i would love to try it one day...
I love putin so much.He is a leader who has his people at heart!
Bot
Lol... have you been to Russia? He has his own wealth and the wealth of his friends at heart. He couldn't care less about the Russian peoples... if he did, he would have focused on the development of his country, and raising Russians out of poverty, instead of wasting everything on the military and expanding the territory of a country that is already too big to defend or manage.
@@davidgreen5994 The same you could say to Trump and Biden. They remain rich while most of the Americans live in poverty. And by the way, the USA spends 15-17 times more money on weapons than Russia does. 🤷♂️
@@davidgreen5994 I live in russia we love and support our president.
what you write suits ukraine, which back in 2021 was the most corrupt and poor in Europe when the media was still openly writing that Zelensky closed all the media that he did not like that N@zis in Ukr@n is in power I can show you a video if you do not believe
You mean pilfering his people. LOL
McDonald’s is unhealthy anyways
Not when food is coming from your country instead of others
@@shayaldwarka7907 Yeah we have seen those indians. Their own country's food is really healthy.🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@shayaldwarka7907 If the recipe is the same the junk food is just as unhealthy.
They did Russia a huge favor, McDonalds is not food at all!
I'm an american and mcPUKE should be banned period. I haven't eaten anything mcVOMIT in about 4 decades or so as when as a teen I got really nauseous after eating a Big PUKE.
Went several years after that and tried a Big DISGUSTING again and got nauseous again and it's been NO mcGARBAGE ever since.
Yet I can eat other fast food like Burger King and Wendy's and so forth and am fine.
Good for them
Open all over the world,we waitting
I think Macdonals will be really glad about this
Good for Russia glad they are stating to open up their Fast Food Resturants as Western Brands Leave.
OK so nobody is going to say anything about the reason Mcdonald's left was because Russia invaded Ukraine? They probably had pretty good food in Ukraine too until they were attacked.
Wow Russia is a Great Country with Great People . God Bless Russia God Bless President Putin . 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌👊👊👊👊👊👏👏👏🤝🤝🤝🤝 .
President Putin is the greatest President right now.
The Russian people are the greatest and most resilient, quick reacting people in the world right now.
MacDonalds loss is Russia's gain. And President Putin has been proven right once again.
Good work Russia! These western bullies need to be taught a lesson.
i dont know who you are caling bully, a country that has killed thousands of civiians or a whol collection of individual countries labeed western ??
So russia never bullied ?
No one ever in History congured Russia, never colonized by outsiders. Go Russia
Blatantly not true, go learn some history.
excellent Russia we in Philippines we have Jollibee. hope your fastfood will also succeed
West has never thought that, but it happened!
Boris, Joe, and Joelensky must be wondering, what the next move should they do?
Now McDonald will have to think twice before leaving prominent countries. This is a great response from Russia and people to embrace local economy
When it was announced that most foreign companies are leaving Russia because of Ukraine, I laughed at those companies because they are definitely going to lose. Russia is eager to take over your offices and showcase to the world what they can do without your brand. Is it not happening now?
RUSSIA CAME PREPARED! Don't ever underestimate them! They are going to do more! That guy Putin is a genius. He would make you look ordinary after dealing with you. He is calm, that's where his power lies. Fear people that are always calm even in the face of provocations!
Congrats to the Russians !!!! Love , n Respect from India!!!🇷🇺🇮🇳🇷🇺🇮🇳🙏💐✌️❤️🌹
This is how you deal with the haters
Need to open a branch in my county
The Western Mcdonald: 😵😳😡😠🤬
The Russian Federation Mcdonald :😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💵💶💷
Slava russia, love from the dutch
That's right rebuild your economy
McDonald's & NATO go home 🤮🤮🤮
Good job Russia! The beginning of a new era for Russia to start creating itself or as an effort to raise local wisdom in a more diverse food industry.
Did he just say the reopening of McDonald’s was like the second coming of Christ? Idiots I swear you compared fast food to a religion
🤣🤣🤣🤣
2:40 yikes. Most of the equipment is the same. That means the ice cream machine is broken........
Don't be surprised if McDonald's Cooperation goes back to Russia paying the owner double for what he payed for over the ownership.
why would they`?
They should put a mcrib on the menu permanently just to screw with America
This is Russia righteously seizing Foreign Business Properties / Items and they'll replace and rebrand more as Payment for USA Troubles. I had this Idea Years ago and read about Russia planning this Months before. Centrists see Unidentified Missiles and call them Russian with no Evidence. The USA is bombing Ukraine and Zelensky bombs his own, a Logical Conclusion
@@legatilegions8055 they are a company and are always chasing profit it was only for the face value they left Russia as soon as the War ends Foreign companies will be back silently as not to anger public but back for sure
Nope. The Mcdonalds are too dumb and stupid to understand business opportunity.
Every country should do the same looks great 👍
McDonald should withdaw from other countries too, so local businesses can take over 😁👍
Kudus to Russia. Respect from India for its guts and balls.
i'm loving it... 🍟🍔
Maybe if the USA would locally source the products that were sold it would taste better. At least everything that will grow. Imagine a burger with fresh vegetables,potatoes that taste like potatoes. Chicken sandwiches that are freshly battered with local chicken. FRESH bread.
Well done.India should do the same.
Lmao you do realize that burger is made of cow 😂 and it's devine in India
@@kgelito4296 i think you never been in India
Original russian customers were immersed in the atmosphere they brought. It'll hardly ever be the same.
Lol. This is awesome! Would love to eat there!
Big mistake of MCdonald
By leaving Russia, these westerns companies have left Idea, Resource, and infrastructure for Russian companies to open similar company by rebranding. Soon they will start going international.
This is like expecting Congo to cover its territory domestically produced fast modern rail lines after it got its independence because the colonist left a rail line and a train behind. Fraying potatoes on the stove left to you, in the kitchen left to you, in the shop left to you, is simple. Developing that further is more complicated, and Russian oligarchs don't like a complicated business, that why they always outsource or buy from outside, instead of trying to produce at home. Russia didn't really manage to produce and export pretty much anything competitive other than natural resources.
@@davidgreen5994 If they don't start growing home and accept the change they will suffer.
Russia is not knows much for suffering.
Also, you can't compare or use Congo when it is about Russia.
This ugly ass poorly designed brand would not make it internationally.
@@davidgreen5994 Russia exported resources to the west. However, Eurasia was their market for finished goods. Even automobiles were exported to the Eurasian zone. FWIW, Russia is not Congo. Not even close. A lot of the hi-tech patents used in communications devices were acquired by the Koreans from Russia in the 80s and 90s. Russians have historically not been adept at commercializing their inventions or patents. This does not mean that they "cannot automate and take potato frying" to the next level.
@@RedDoorPaintedBlack. It's a place holder for the return of McDonalds. Even the name sounds like a tag-line - McDonalds - Vkusno i tocka!
2:07 honest food review right here 😂😂🤣🤣
I wanna try it. I hope to see McD vs Russian McD in India provided they reduce the price and increase the taste. Junk stays constant, I know.
Good for their country...👍
