Artwork Description:
This rather glum work depicts Slavic folk figures trying to arrest Ronald McDonald, a McDonald's character. Scientific backwardness of post-Soviet Russia and its refusal to create an open, democratic, and well-being-oriented society oriented on citizens’ well-being, instead mostly serving old, corrupt political elites, was an awakening alert and indeed a cause of terrible, anti-human conflict in Ukraine. This country decided to align itself with the progressive, democratic West. He knew that the backward politics of the Kremlin would lead to the spread of anti-American ideas rather than to open, lawful, and engaging competition, thereby rightfully uniting people in the struggle for wealth, higher education, personal independence, and freedom.
