Russia has a lot of laws on the books that are meaningless. That's why they are Russia and not Switzerland or France. Minimum wage is worthless due to inflation from the ukraine invasion and sanction. Pension system that leaves people in perpetual poverty. Universal healthcare that covers very little and life expectancy is terrible. The US has historically held the rule of law as an important idea. Social security has largely eliminated deep elderly poverty.
