At the last year’s New Year auction sales expert Mikahil Kondratenko made a winning bid of 3500 rubles for the lot “Send Artemy Lebedev to get some takeaway from McDonalds.” At the end of December Kondratenko remembered about his prize and sent Lebedev to McDonalds to get 10 Big N’ Tasty burgers, a portion of carrot sticks and a glass of orange juice.
