PepsiCo announced in 2022 that it would suspend production and sales in Russia, but paid $237 million in income tax to the Russian state last year. The company remains Russia’s fourth-largest foreign business, with 60,000 workers and 19 factories, and continues selling renamed drinks and other products it classifies as essential, contributing tax revenue to a state budget focused on the war in Ukraine.
