So we're going to ignore the fact the McDonald's successfully invaded Russia in winter? Edit: my comment has lore because of y'all. Thank you all for having my back ❤️
Invaded? How? It's not like they had monopoly over Russian's food market nor anywhere close to that. Most ppl in Russia aren't fast food crazed and those insane lines only lasted for few days ,maybe weeks ,until the hype settled down. Invaded would be if Russians wouldn't have anything else to eat but McD, which ,despite the carefully selected narrative in this article was not the case. Most Russians didn't go through the transitional era bcs of McD who "saved them" Especially not with meals that cost half of avg, daily salary.
I remember McDonalds first opened in Cyprus in 1994, I was eleven back then... The restaurant was a bit far from my house, about 25 minutes walk, but I went with a friend on foot to try! I remember the employees weren't speaking Greek at all and we didn't know what to order! 🙂 When she asked me what I wanted to order, I told her that we would like to have two McDonalds! 🙂 She smiled and finally, she gave us two Big Macs!
I'm surprised they weren't insulted if they really wanted the true McDonald's sandwich: a "Royale with Cheese". I would have said Quarter Pounder but I remembered it's the metric system.
America: Ugh, damn it, we've explained it to you a hundred times! No "we", "together", "common", "comrade", "united", "union", "us", even "friendship" you are now forbidden and contraindicated by doctors, now you are free from each other! Oh, these Russians with their natural desire for the collective will drive me to hysteria!
I am from Lithuania (ex USSR, now EU) and one of the funniest my childhood memories is related to McDonalds, lol :D First McDonalds opened here in 1996, I was 11 years old. We took a class trip to Vilnius (our capital) with school bus, and the main goal was McDonalds! Nowadays it's unbelievable, but in 90's mindset in post-communist Europe was absolutelly different. Yes, we took about 100 km trip from our hometown, to eat burgers! Of course, we visitet also old town, Gediminas castle, some churches and TV tower, but McDonalds was the main and most important thing of this class journey. We were so proud, because we eat American food, lol!!! :D We even took empty packages and free balloons from restaurant, to show them to our friends and to make them feel jealious :D Oh yeah, interesting times. When English was "exotic language of rich people in the West" and when people SERIOUSLY thougt 2 Unlimited and Masterboy are "American groups" :D No, we weren't hungry, we always had home cooked food. McDonalds actually was something like "WOW, it's food from USA, rich Western people eat it, it's almost from another world!!!!!1!" Nowadays, McDonalds is just a fast food restaurant here, nothing more and nothing less. Actually, nowadays in Lithuania Hesburger is more popular (it's Finnish restaurant chain, I prefer their food) and also, the most popular fast food in Lithuania is kebab. And of course, nobody screams "wow it's American" anymore :D Because now we have a lot of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, it's not interesting anymore. We travel abroad, everybody can have vacation in Turkey or Spain (it was luxury 25 years ago, only for richest), big superstars have concerts here, we have internet in our pockets... Everything changed, absolutely everything.

It’s funny because the whole point of fast foods is that it’s supposed to be cheaper than restaurants. Hamburgers I swear are like $2 in McDonald’s here
This is how I remember it as well when McDs first came to my city in Ukraine ~20 yrs ago. It was a huge deal for us kids and we'd beg our parents to take us there on our birthdays
I was born in the Soviet Union and remember visiting with my parents that first Soviet McDonalds right after it was opened. The line was huge probably more than an hour just to enter the restaurant. But that wasnt because people were hungry. Most were standing just to get "the taste of American life" so it was kind of like a small Disneyland and not just a place to eat.
@@Lucas-dm1ix Much better than most people in the West thought. Until everything went downhill in the last couple of years the life was pretty care free and relaxed. State services were covering almost everything so people really needed money only for food, clothes, some home appliances and entertainment. Without that money obsession like in the modern world human relationships were much more warm and friendly. The cons were problems to achieve something above average for those who had a talent to do so and a really small choice of consumer goods and services.

@Robo bold of you to assume I was born and raised in russia And yes Russia does have beaches my mom grew up in Gelendzhik (google it if you dont belive me) which was right by the Black Sea and she would walk to the nearby beaches daily
This is why knowing more than 1 language is crucial, and flow of information is crucial. If this Russian who knows English didn't tell me this, I would have never known and would have fallen victim to propaganda.
Because they advertised this as a "restaurant" in 1991. In restaurants in Soviet Union was certain rules and a dress code. This is why was his reaction. In reality it was not.a restaurant.
@@stanleywhiteman6450 Ah, that makes sense. I felt something must have been lost in translation or something. Why would they kick you out for accidentally spilling a drink that you already paid for? I'd understand handing you a mop and frowning at you or something. But kicking you out? Seems harsh.

Literally! In russia you dont just smile at people out of politeness or whatever like how you do in the west. That was one of the first sights of westernization in russia.
EXCHANGE RATES: Probably gonna get buried but for those curious, I did some research and it turns out 1 dollar in 1990 was equivalent to about 0.59 Rubles. That makes an 8 ruble Russian McMeal equivalent to about 13.50 in 1990 USD. Adjusted for inflation, that comes out to about $27 in 2021 USD. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25, with take home pay after Medicare and social security being more like $6.70 an hour. Multiply that by 4, and you have half a day's wages coming out to $26.80.
@@mullajohn2803 The late USSR wages were paradoxically high, however, even better than in modern Russia. Too high. There weren't enough goods for all that money, especially when enterprises started hiding and storing stuff to sell it later at better "market" prices.
That's insane. In the 90's we payed less than $2 AUD for a big mac, and when it came to my country in the 70's a big mac was about half a dollar. A whole meal in the 90's was just a few dollars.
Persecution for expressing an unpopular opinion, taboo topics, banned words and canceling people's careers just by denouncing them. Oh, wait, that's not Russia. It's the United States today. Anyway, were we talking about the USSR?
@@croissantlover1 No, it’s still considered strange to smile to strangers in Russia, otherwise people will think you’re crazy. But in America it’s normal.
I remember this, My Grandma took me, I was but 6 years old, we stood in line for nearly 7 hours. I think the ketchup packs and strawberry milkshake was my fav items, and my very tired grandma sitting across from me.
Guys....This was not very long ago. Can you imagine being in a place where the average person thinks you're laughing at them simply because you're smiling? What a gem of history this video is.
Not only a former Soviet thing but in Central Europe as well. Think I read that one of the reasons Walmart failed in Germany is that consumers felt uncomfortable from the forced-smiles made by employees, saying it felt flirtatious. People often prefer genuine facial-reactions when interacting with someone in these regions.
So the man says: ”Well, _I_ didn't like it. But maybe...” (Ну, _мне_ не понравилось. А может быть...) And then they cut it off. Translation: ”I don't like it at all, it's not Russian.” Woman goes: "There was such a stampede here.” (Такая давка была) Translation: "We need more of these places. There's nothing in our restaurants.” The challenges of translations I guess 😁
@@magistro999 yeah, she talked about stores before that and said ”you could say, we are all hungry”. That's why I posted specific Russian phrases after which translations stop matching original phrases. She said nothing about restaurants and needing more of them. And things they did translate like that one they have loud and clear. And then when they make it up it's very quiet but you can still hear in this cases. And when guy supposedly said that he was worried they will throw him out it's muted to completely inaudible. While you can hear what he said before and after. So I am curious if he said that too :)
Don't worry they just rebranded They coming back for payback with China, I mean they got China Joe in office . I suggest we better start learning Chinese and or Russian.

My wife is Russian she said she and her mom waited all day in the 90’s in a line that went on forever to eat at the first McDonald’s in Moscow. And she hates McDonald’s.
lol I remember when 25 years ago first mcDonalds opened in Ukraine my parents believed it was very high quality food, because what else could you expect from american company? and when we were kids we used to trick mcDonalds workers to give us free food, we left one hamburger and cola at a table and went to toilet, seeing half eaten food on the table workers threw it away, then we came back and demanded to give us food they threw away, and when they asked what exactly we had we said it was 3 big macs, 3 milkshakes,3 pies and so on, and they used to give us all that for free. Friend taught me this trick 😁

@@new-lviv As an American, we definitely understand that McDonalds is a 2 star place. And 2 stars is 2 stars too many for most of us.
On Brazil you can lunch twice with the price of one Big Mac.
This is how I remember it as well when McDs first came to my city in Ukraine ~20 yrs ago. It was a huge deal for us kids and we'd beg our parents to take us there on our birthdays
First restaurant in slovakia was opened in 1995 :)
I was born in the Soviet Union and remember visiting with my parents that first Soviet McDonalds right after it was opened. The line was huge probably more than an hour just to enter the restaurant. But that wasnt because people were hungry. Most were standing just to get "the taste of American life" so it was kind of like a small Disneyland and not just a place to eat.

How was living in Ussr?
@@Lucas-dm1ix Much better than most people in the West thought. Until everything went downhill in the last couple of years the life was pretty care free and relaxed. State services were covering almost everything so people really needed money only for food, clothes, some home appliances and entertainment. Without that money obsession like in the modern world human relationships were much more warm and friendly. The cons were problems to achieve something above average for those who had a talent to do so and a really small choice of consumer goods and services.

EXCHANGE RATES: Probably gonna get buried but for those curious, I did some research and it turns out 1 dollar in 1990 was equivalent to about 0.59 Rubles. That makes an 8 ruble Russian McMeal equivalent to about 13.50 in 1990 USD. Adjusted for inflation, that comes out to about $27 in 2021 USD. The current federal minimum wage is $7.25, with take home pay after Medicare and social security being more like $6.70 an hour. Multiply that by 4, and you have half a day's wages coming out to $26.80.
Damn thats alot
@@mullajohn2803 The late USSR wages were paradoxically high, however, even better than in modern Russia. Too high. There weren't enough goods for all that money, especially when enterprises started hiding and storing stuff to sell it later at better "market" prices.

That's insane. In the 90's we payed less than $2 AUD for a big mac, and when it came to my country in the 70's a big mac was about half a dollar. A whole meal in the 90's was just a few dollars.
That's pretty impossible that 1 dolar = 0.59 Rubles. Russia in 1990 entered massive inflation. In 1986, 800 rubles was worth 11$ XD

“how did it taste, sir ?”
“it tastes like capitalism”
with covid and capitalism failing the poorest of the poor, whist the richest 0.01 person doubled and tripled their wealth, I don't know if this is a good thing or not lol
