A Russian man named Luka Safronov-Zatravkin made a last attempt to save McD from closure in Russia. The McDonald’s superfan handcuffed himself to the entrance door of one of the outlets in Moscow. The dejected Russian stated that closing down is an act of hostility against him and his fellow citizens. Unfortunately, while the decision to close down McD outlets was intended to hurt Russia, Russian citizens who have nothing to do with this are getting badly affected.
