(10/11) It wasn't all plain sailing for McDonald's in its early days in Russia. Here, Russian animal rights activists protest outside an outlet in 1992.
Yeah,Russian Animal Rights Activists wearing an American flag on a t-shirt,and holding signs printed in English.
BTW,I went to that McD's on my first trip to Moscow,and even though the big line was gone,going there was still a big deal. The prices were probably high because the meat and milk,as well as the rest of it,probably,was flown in from the west.There were no McDonalds local suppliers or warehouses in Moscow.
I have never been anywhere in my life that had so many beautiful women as Moscow. In fact,probably the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my life was seen in passing as I went past while riding in a taxi. She was operating a jackhammer and busting up asphalt to repair pot holes. Blonde with the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen. Just stunning. You will never see a woman that looks that good doing menial labor in the US.
Men,if you go,go in the spring. The Russian girls are tired of wearing the layers of winter coats and scarves,and like to strut their stuff in micro-minis and see through tops in spring. Not all of them,but enough to insure you remain confused.
