I lived in Russia for a while about 15 years ago. Burger King and KFC were so fucking good there. I was so disappointed when I came back to the states to find Burger King as cold uneatable garbage again.
BK in Europe is actually edible, sometimes even good
Do you know what makes them better?
Massive win for communism btw ๐ฅฐ. Just think about how they pushed back at those western brands setting up shop in the USSR. If only they knew one day they could say "Even capitalist slop taste better in Mother Russia ๐ป๐ท๐บ"
I have no clue what you are on about. Russia isn't a communist country, it is a right wing kleptocratic dictatorship.
Just being silly. Russia needs all the wins it can get.
That said, things like McDonald's moved in shortly before USSR fractured, if I remember correctly, so would be pre-kleptocratic dictatorship. But obvs those corporations aren't indicative of communism, because they're American corporations.
