Terentyev said that "it is not entirely clear how a four-day work week will affect wages."

“It is logical to assume that people's wages will decrease in proportion to the decrease in the working volume,” he said.

This idea was also appreciated by the head of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Tenants of Russia Andrei Bunich.

“I believe that innovations with the transition to four working days are not winning,” he said.

According to him, "no one really understands what such difficulties are for."

As noted by Bunich, "the political meaning is not visible, the economic - even more so."

“There is no direct connection with the remote location here either,” he added.

In September, State Duma deputy, former chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko explained the main danger of introducing a four-day working week in the country.

In December 2019, the first deputy head of the United Russia faction, State Duma deputy Andrei Isaev, in an interview with FAN, assessed the idea of ​​switching to a four-day working week.
