Threatening letters were received by owners and employees of Western companies, including Coca-Cola, McDonald's, Procter & Gamble, IBM and Yum Brands (owner of KFC). It is worth noting that in addition to letters and calls, there were also visits threatening to seize the assets and trademarks of these firms and even arrest top managers who criticize the Russian government.
