To Russia with Fries follows the flamboyant and tenacious George Cohon as he pursues what he calls "hamburger diplomacy." When the first McDonald's put up its golden arches in Moscow within sight of the Kremlin in 1990, Cohon had nightmares that nobody would show up. But it quickly became the busiest McDonald's in the world, and the first of 48 in Russia. To Russia With Fries includes rare interviews and scenes with Mikhail Gorbachev, Boris Yeltsin, and the most powerful man in Russia at the time, the mayor of Moscow, Yuri Luzhkov.
