"Delayed wages are not an unusual thing in Russia, where people receive remuneration monthly, not weekly. Companies explain to the employees that they have no money at the moment and ask them to wait a little longer. Some companies may owe 2-4 month wages to employees. It starts with delaying wages for a week, within a few months it could be a delay for 2-3 months. Instead of getting paid once a month people are getting paid every 5-6 weeks and are being paid their salary from 2-3 months ago. The companies do not pay interest on unpaid wages."

Somebody might want to read the below and verify apologies I can't read russian:
