McDonald's closed 847 restaurants in Russia and left.

Russians turned the logo 90 degrees.

Welcome to "Uncle Vanya".

Similar burgers, fries, etc.

And much lower prices.

Only Russian ingredients.

Russia's controversial response to the closure of McDonald's restaurants
Fast-food chain has closed more than 800 stores in Russia

Companies in virtually every sector have sought to distance themselves from Russia after Vladimir Putin's illegal invasion of Ukraine, yet Russia has revealed a rather controversial response to the closure of McDonald's restaurants in particular.

After the fast-food chain closed a grand total of 847 restaurants in Russia, totally leaving the country from a business perspective, the Russian government has renamed all the previously McDonald's branded restaurants as 'Uncle Vania'.

The logo is virtually identical to the M of McDonald's and the name originates from a book written by Anton Chekhov.

What has been particularly controversial is the fact that the yellow M/golden arch has literally just been rotated 90 degrees, forming a B in the Cyrillic alphabet.

"The illegal occupation of trademarks has begun in Russia," Josh Gerben, an American lawyer, explained.

The type of food sold at these establishments will remain the same, however the prices will be lower because only nationally grown ingredients will be used.

Trademark squatting has begun in Russia.

On March 12th, a trademark application was filed for the McDonald's logo with the words "Uncle Vanya."

The Russian State Duma had earlier suggested that Russia would replace all McDonald's with "Uncle Vanya's."

Exactly what happened to my stupid aunty.

She packed from her marital home in anger because she suspected her husband was cheating with his secretary at work.

Two months later, her househelp was pregnant with twin boys for him.

Let me also add that neither my stupid aunty nor any of her female kids got anything from him in his will.

Moral of the story is, don't always strive to be politically correct, there are a millions who would do better queueing up to take the spot you give away.

Vladmir Putin has said it that the west don't know their people and their history.

obiekunie01:
putin should make sure he create laws to forbid these WESTERN companies from returning to russia!

HE SHOULD COPY FROM HIS FRIEND CHIZIPIN ABI NA WETIN BE THAT HIS NAME? AM TALKING OF CHINESE PRESIDENT THAT BAN ALL THE WESTERN SOCIAL MEDIAS LIKE FB, TWITTER, ETC, AND SOME WESTERN COMPANIES LIKE MACDONALD FROM OPERATING IN CHINA.

he should also as a matter of urgency encourage his tech citizens to develop their own social app like the Chinese did and ban facebook, twitter, insta, whatassp from ever operating withing the borders of Russia!

teach them a lesson they will never forget like the Chinese did.

while he is on it, he should beg his friend chizipin to borrow him the apple template with them so his Russian tech guys can develop their own Russian version of apple products and name them fruits.

LETS SEE WHO WILL LOSE LAST LAST!
