It is also very interesting to read some articles about countries with most vacation, where Russia is also listed like they provide 28 days a year, that make it to be in the top of the countries with the most holidays.

Based on that, if “regular” Russian folk (without doing much research) looks online, they think that they live in one of the best countries: - taxes lower than everywhere else, they think it is 7%, when it is close to 40-50% (one of the highest in the world). - vacations are only 20 working days, which is good on average.
