Russians adopt five day work week amid consumer shift
The shift to a five day week in Russia follows a long transition from 11 to 48 and then 46 hours, with Khrushchev era target reached in 1960. Official press touts happiness, while mixed reactions include a housewife delaying dinner and a Moscow clerk embracing the change after Nixon’s visit. Public transit and shopping queues shape the adjustment as the government orders consumer industry improvements.
