I'll keep on rocking until they put me in an old people's home. I found the following somewhere on the Internet. If anyone has any more info to add to it, feel free to let me know. The Moscow McDonalds is the largest in the world. Profits will be small at first, with a 50-50 split between the company and the Russian government.
Business is conducted entirely in Russian rubles that are nearly worthless outside the country.
If McDonald's Canada wants to take any profit out of Russia they will have to do so by buying Russian products with rubles and then exporting them to Europe or North America for sale. However, McDonalds isn't worried about exporting profits. They are investing in more restaurants and plan to eventually sell Big Macs all over the country. If the Canadian's gamble pays off and the Russian economy prospers they will make an enormous fortune for a comparatively small initial investment.
