My country is big.
When guys who live in Moscow come to their offices, their mates in Vladivostok return to their homes. It will take you about 9 hours of flight from Moscow to Vladivostok and still there will be a place to fly, because Russia doesn't end with Vladivostok.
One of my recent flights was to Chita. It took me 5 hours and a half to get there. Non an unusual local route, as you could understand from above. We also use to fly to Irkutsk (4.7h), Ulan-Ude (5.2h) and Yakutsk that is more than 6 hours of flight on B737 from Moscow.
