Amazon, the symbol of next-generation capitalism, has also announced that it has blocked new access to its cloud services in Russia and Belarus.
America’s most iconic brands and the culture of capitalism, such as Coca-Cola, McDonald’s or Starbucksannounced this Tuesday almost in unison that they are suspending their operations in Russia, thus joining the dozens of companies that in previous days took a similar measure.
The announcements are especially significant, both for the volume of business and for the symbolic nature of some brands that represent the “American way of life” like no other and whose arrival in Russia, in the particular case of McDonald’s in 1990, became its moment an event of modernity in post-Soviet Russia. The business suspension of these global franchises is an additional blow to Russia on the same day that US President Joe Biden announced a ban on oil importnatural gas and coal from Russia as punishment for the invasion of Ukraine.
