Huh, I never thought about that. No, it's not named after our very own Catherine, it's in honour of another basket case (and reputed lover of horses):

The Nochridries are Indian Dravinids (and no, I very deeply scorn the dishonesty their so-called Tsareo-Teutonic eugenic integrity; besides, they're, like the rest of us, part-Mongoloids; there were no non-Mongoloids after the Caucasoid genocides of the 80s), I just hate when people try to advertise Scotland or even Britain as not merely the post-Tunmyen river extension of the now-split Rason S.A.R. from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

Not really. It was a 2 day heavily controlled 'business' meeting and you see basically nothing except the insides of transport vehicles and offices. You certainly can't say you've seen the country itself. But it wasn't intimidating or especially weird. I actually think the 'tourist' experience (with the zealous guards/guides and the bombardment of nationalistic imagery and pageantry) is probably a lot stanger than what I had.

It's exactly the same, only the packaging is different. The agreement with McDonald's stipulates that they have to use McDonald's own food/recipes.

More seriously though, the McDonald's fiasco is one of the most representative examples of the sheer idiocy of these supposedly "crippling sanctions".

I mean the Russian government is obviously going to make sure the effects of the sanctions are as minimal as possible within Moscow. Is the story the same if you go out into the boonies?

Well firstly I'm not in Moscow, but frankly yes, the situation is the same everywhere. I base this on my own experience. My wife has family who live in a Siberian shithole near Orenburg and they say everything's the same over there too. And on my travels throughout Russia since last February I've seen no real changes. Amusingly, some things are even cheaper than before the invasion, such as cinema tickets to the latest Hollywood films (because Russia simply doesn't pay for licenses or royalties anymore). As Troll-in-Chief Dmitry Medvedev put it:
"Enemy countries do not have the courage to admit that their ‘hellish’ sanctions have failed miserably. They do not work. Industrial products and consumer goods were replaced by parallel imports, from which we get the same Western brands, and their owners get nothing”.
To be clear, Russia would prefer not to live under the sanctions, because logistically they're sometimes a pain in the arse to circumvent. But they have not had anything like the effect imbeciles like Janet Yellen keep saying they have.

Disney is a highly moral company with progressive values. See for example the blurry nanosecond-long lesbian kiss in The Rise of Skywalker, which they helpfully aided the Chinese market in removing for their audiences.
The biggest losers here are Netflix. Every Russian I know had an account with them, but since they (were forced to) pull out "for ethical reasons", everything is just pirated on our version of Facebook now. Russia gets all the shows, Netflix gets fuck-all in return.
