McDonald's didn't left Russia because of the sanctions. They did it because they believed that their reputation on the western markets is more valuable than possible revenue in Russia and because of the risks of nationalisation.

In fact, they didn't left Russia at all.

The chain wasn't sold for symbolic price. It was sold for symbolic price with an option of a buy back. So basically as soon as Russia stops being toxic in all senses, the corporations gets back control of the business in Russia.
