A Russian woman is suing fast food giant McDonald’s after an advert showing their cheeseburgers allegedly made her break her fast during Lent.
Ksenia Ovchinnikova, an Orthodox Christian from Omsk, Russia, claims that seeing McDonald’s adverts made her break her fast for Lent in 2019. At the time, she was attempting to stay away from meat and other animal products, Daily Mail reports.

For Orthodox Christians following the Julian calendar, Lent is a strict period as they are expected to stay away from meat, meat by-products, poultry, eggs, and dairy for the entire period.
Ovchinnikova claims that she hadn’t eaten meat in a month when the fast-food chain’s adverts for burgers and nuggets made her break her fast in April 2019.

Ovchinnikova is now accusing the fast-food giant of breaking the consumer protection law and insulting her religious feelings. She blames the company for advertising meat and animal products at a time when Christians are refraining from them, and is requesting 1,000 rubles ($14) as compensation for sustained moral damage.
Despite successfully fasting for the past 16 years, Ovchinnikova was not able to resist the adverts and ended up ordering a burger from the nearest McDonald’s restaurant.

“By this point, I had already been fasting for a month, but when I saw an advertising banner, I could not help myself, I visited McDonald’s and bought a cheeseburger,” Ksenia Ovchinnikova wrote in her statement.
“In the actions of McDonald’s, I see a violation of the consumer protection law. I ask the court to investigate and, if a violation has taken place, to oblige McDonald’s LLC to compensate me for moral damage in the amount of one thousand rubles.”

Things progressively deteriorated between them as he comes back from work, too tired to have a bedtime with his wife when she comes home for break from school, she inturn began suspecting him of cheating.
After shegraduated from school in 2018, there was still no improvement in their relationship as it grew colder with time and when he inquired about it, she’d say he’s the one not being romantic.
A few years later, on October 2021, after he dropped her off for her night shift, she had forgotten her mobile phone in the car; she called, using a colleague’s phone, and told him to help her charge it.
On getting home, he became overwhelmed with the desire to check her phone but unfortunately found it locked.

The phone was subsequently unlocked by their little son only for him to discover what he had feared most after he went through her phone.
“Well my story goes like this. I got married to my wife in 2013, and she is a nurse. I am a civil servant working with the federal government. Things were rosy for a while and sometime in 2017, she got nursing, and she left for school, while in school, our communication became less and to be honest, I contributed to it, I was over busy at work and she was always trying to get my attention, which became somewhat difficult. I wasn’t cheating at all physically with any lady, but I was chatting with some ladies online. Somehow my wife found out about them, for some she confronted them headlong but without my knowledge and at and at a point, it it degenerated into an argument, but we sorted that out and I apologized.
During those times, our sxx life was really down, and on God, I couldn’t explain why. Sometimes I will come back from the office super tired and I will try to make love to my wife but the erection wouldn’t be there. It became yet another issue, cos she thought I was having sxx elsewhere that is why she has become undesirable to me, but God is my witness, I wasn’t. I tried all my best to convince her, well she either sounded convinced or she just wanted the issue to slide. She graduated mid 2018 and we reunited.”
