When Russian in the West most Russian wake up for a day, the Eastern part of Russia has already finished a day's job and ready to go home.
Isn't that a problem for Russian people?
In the US, we have only 3 hrs difference between the East and West coast .

There is no problem. The vast majority of Russians live within two time zones, between the Western boundary of the country and the Urals mountains. The enormous spaces East of the Urals are very sparsely populated. There are large cities there, to be sure, such as Omsk, Krasnoyarsk, Novosibirsk, and Vladivostok, but they still account for a small part of Russian population...

It's simple - we take one zone at a time.
To note, you have more time zones in the US than just three. You forgot such territories as Hawaii, Guam and also "temporary residences" as Iraq, Afganistan, etc. How do you cope with that?

It's not a problem, why would it be? Only when you travel by train, it's very disappointing when you have to travel several hours more because of the time difference.
It is very boring in the train.

The same way the US does. How many time zones from new york to hawaii, five.

It's not a problem at all! We are used to it... The empire where the sun never sets :)

It just means that they have, on one form or another, a 24 hour society.
Just not all at once.
