It appears Russia is working on a replacement for McDonald’s restaurants in the country, complete with a logo that looks remarkably similar to the fast-food chain’s famous golden arches trademark.
The move follows the announcement on March 8 that the U.S.-based McDonald’s would shut down its 850 locations in Russia to protest the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
That decision sparked anger among members of Russia’s government, prompting Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the Russian State Duma, to address the matter in parliament last week, according to a report by British publication, the Express.
“McDonald’s announced that they are closing. Well, good, close down!”
