Most Russians who switched to remote working during the coronavirus pandemic have already returned to the office, according to a Rabota.ru survey. The poll found that just a quarter of Russians started working from home during the pandemic, and that more than half of those have now returned to the office completely. Another 15 percent are continuing in a mixed format, combining working from the office and home. In total, just 8 percent of Russian employees are currently working fully remotely, according to the survey.
Despite the rush back to the office, remote working proved popular among those who tried it, with three-quarters of Russians saying they would like to continue remote working in some format once the pandemic is over. Russia has now lifted almost all of its coronavirus-related restrictions as cases fall and the vaccination campaign continues.
