I believe the Moscow McDonald's is the world's largest in size and volume of daily sales for a single restaurant in the McDonald's chain as well. Do you know if that's true?
What makes ...or made...Russia so great to begin with? Nothing. Tt was just a large land mass aka a BULLY with nukes. Thats it.==
What makes great the China? The Britain? The America?
Answer it then you will understand it about Russia.
What makes any country great?
Which McDonalds? I can think of 4 or 5 in Moscow. How about the TJI Fridays in Sherimeti II? Or the TJI Fridays on New Arbat?
Pushkin Square according to this McDonald's web site.
On January 31, 1990, McDonald’s opened its first restaurant in Russia. Located on famous Pushkin Square in Moscow, the restaurant immediately became the largest McDonald’s in the world (more than 28,000 sq. ft.) and the busiest (more than 250 million customers to date) – titles the restaurant still retains today. The restaurant seats 700 customers and has a 70 foot-long service counter with 27 cash registers.
The subject there just grossed me out. (And the weird foreign spelling :-).
Thanks for the ping.
I wish them all the best, but they have some problems and PROBLEMS.
Your Catholic/Protestant world excludes all of Latin America and the Caribbean. Not to mention countries in sub-Saharan African that are majority Christian.
Could you please point me to the sources of this information?
Could you please explain to me also how your remark is related to my post? I simply don't see any connection. Perhaps, I am missing something?
You can start here: Chapter 3: Lenin and German Assistance for the Bolshevik Revolution
and here
Just like it excludes the Orthodox nation of Ethiopia and the (nearly declared) Orthodox nation of Kenya.
If the history of Russia is the history of wars what on earth can be said about the present German, French and Italian states? Especially since Germany and Italy spent most of their time as small mini-states in a constant state of war and hostility.
You know, I've never been there. I went to a couple of others but usually just to get a drink or because of my kids. I hate McDees and their food is crap.
The ties between the Church in Ethiopia and the Church in Russia is much more tenuous than the ties between Catholic churches in Latin America and the Vatican--if there's any tie at all. Isn't the Ethiopian church independent, with its own prelate? And what's this about Kenya?
In any case, you named both the plausible Orthodox countries outside of Europe and the USSR, and they aren't even plausible--whereas there are tons of Protestants and Catholics outside Europe still having large families.
All Orthodox churches have their own patriarchs, just like Rome did when it was part of the Orthodox world, but that doesn't mean we are not one unified church, just because we don't have an overlord. Up until the Islamics, Syria, Asia Minor, Egypt, Lybia, Judea, Jordon, Messopotamia were also all Orthodox nations. Just like the modern day Assyrians are Orthodox but don't have a nation and the southern Indians are also Orthodox, having been converted by the Apostol Thomas. Cyprus is also an Orthodox nation.
I am not sure how you arrived at this conclusion. Mortality rate of a group is the number of deaths in a given period of time, typically one year, divided by the size of the group. It matters not how other parameters of the group, such as age, are distributed.
Further, infant mortality rate is defined as the probability of dying between birth and one year of age. This too has nothing to do with the age of adults.

Mortality rate should be average life span.
