windows in russia

Most windows I saw in older buildings in Russia were double, even in Soviet era construction.  The wide spacing between panes of glass wouldn't be as efficient as modern double pane, but given Russia's long history of keeping out the cold this way it will be a long time before the US catches up in btus saved with our modern windows.
