The Bell reports about a relative of Nazarbayev and an oilman from Novokuznetsk.
The Bell Edition with reference to sources, it reports that the Russian share of McDonald’s business can be bought out by Russian or Kazakh entrepreneurs.
As Topnews reported earlier, McDonald’s announced that it was leaving the Russian market. Prior to this, the company repeatedly postponed the closure of stores for a certain period, keeping employees and premises occupied.

It is also known that Boranbayev owns a McDonald’s franchise in Belarus and Kazakhstan. A relative of the president was also the head of the joint venture of KazRosGas JSC.
According to Kommersant, citing two sources, it is Boranbayev’s firms that will become the new owner of closed establishments of the American fast food chain.
The second contender for the Russian McDonald’s establishments, according to The Bell, is the Russian entrepreneur Alexander Govor, who lives in Novokuznetsk.
According to “RG”, he owns the company “GUIDE”, which managed the activities of 25 McDonald’s establishments in Novosibirsk, Berdsk, Tomsk, Kemerovo, Novokuznetsk, Barnaul and Krasnoyarsk.
