Why KFC still open in Russia?

There will be remnants of KFC within the Russian market, as franchisees have been allowed to keep existing shops open and won't be forced to rebrand those stores if they don't want to. This is similar to how Subway has allowed some operators to stay open in Russia, as those stores are independently owned.
