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.

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.

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.
