Aussie Cossack urges Aussies to give up McDonalds, KFC and Facebook among 70 global brands

Timothy

Simeon ‘Aussie Cossack’ Boikov is urging Australians to boycott McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, KFC and Facebook among nearly 70 other global brands after the corporate giants closed operations in Russia.

The pro-Russia patriot and aspiring federal politician, who lives in western Sydney, posted a list of the world’s biggest companies he claims should be snubbed after they shut their doors in Russia in response to Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.

Saying ‘the globalists have declared war on Russia’, Mr Boikov listed fast food chains, Samsung, American Express, Visa and Airbnb, petrol suppliers, car brands, movie companies – and clothing giants including Adidas.

Along with major foreign companies including Apple and Ikea, McDonald’s has already halted operations in Russia, prompting huge queues to its outlets before it  closed 850 restaurants indefinitely. 

Under an image of all the logos of brands which have left or were planning to, Mr Boikov wrote: ‘Good riddance. Excellent news for the Russian economy. Bybe bye globalists.’

The withdrawal by companies including lingerie supplier Victoria’s Secret has prompted calls by Russia’s chief consumer body to blacklist the brands, seize their assets and place them under government control. 

Mr Boikov described the withdrawal as ‘Western corporate giants who have obeyed Deep State’s orders to pull out of Russia’ and urged his followers, ‘Let’s boycott them all’.

‘Russia has already been cut off from CNN, (pornography site) Pornhub and Facebook, the US is now working on depriving Russians of McDonalds and Coca- Cola,’ Mr Boikov said.

‘If they keep going with these sanctions, Russians will soon be among the healthiest, well adjusted and best informed people in the planet. Join us.’

Boikov then posted a satirical one minute video of a woman calling herself ‘Natasha from Russia’ who speaks in English and praises the pull out from her country by global brands.

Dressed in a revealing red top and wearing a traditional Russian headdress and shawl, the woman says ‘I want to thank you for all your sanctions.

‘For taking away from us Coca-Cola, KFC, McDonald and all that sh*t,’ she said.

‘Thank you for taking care of our health … we will be stronger and more beautiful.

‘We take care of you too. That’s why we cut out gas so you have to walk to buy food instead of using your car.

‘Don’t say thank you. Friendship. I am sorry, I have to go feed my bear, drink vodka, play balalaika (a Russian stringed instrument).’

Boikov, 32, a prospective independent or United Australia Party candidate in the Strathfield by-election last month who didn’t end up running, has been constantly posting pro-Russian messages online since the war with Ukraine began.

He declared to Daily Mail Australia ‘I am on war time’ and in an exclusive interview claimed Scott Morrison was ‘a complete fool’ who had put the lives of Australians in danger.

He said the Prime Minister’s pledge to fund missiles for Ukraine had made Australia a ‘target’ for the Russian President.

‘Putin is not bluffing, I can’t stress that enough,’ he said.

‘We are on the verge of nuclear war. Putin is not mucking around.’

Boikov’s latest urge for the global brand boycott comes amid reports that Russia may blacklist at least 59 major foreign brands and ‘nationalise’ their assets.

The brands that have decided to stop working in the country in protest against the conflict in Ukraine include Microsoft, IBM, Shell, Volkswagen, Porsche, Toyota and H&M.

In response, Russia’s consumer protection group the Public Consumer Initiative (OPI), has hit back.

According to a report on Thursday, OPI chief Oleg Pavlov said the companies could be subject to seizure of accounts and assets, placed under external management, or face nationalisation.

Nationalisation is a process of transforming privately-owned assets into public ones under the control of a government.

‘As soon as companies emerge that announce their withdrawal (from the Russian market) without providing guarantees to the Russian consumers, they’re being added on to (the blacklist),’ Mr Pavlov said.

‘This means that administrative, criminal and court proceedings will be used against them.’

One report about Russians trying to get their last purchases in before stories closed up, showed a massive queue outside Victoria’s Secret in Moscow after the lingerie chain announced it was closing.

Mr Boikov gathered with Russian loyalists in Sydney outside the Kremlin’s Australian embassy to show support for their country’s invasion of Ukraine.

He is promoting a local ‘World Wide Rally for Freedom’ protest on March 19, which will take to the streets in all Australian capitals and four rural cities.
