Most Honest People Live in Russia’s Pskov Region

A bus driver found a bag that someone of his passenger forgot in his bus. However, the driver (a resident of the town of Opochka, the Pskov region) did not report his suspicious finding to the authorities. He did not go either to police, or to Federal Security Bureau. He made a completely different decision. He thought that the passenger, who forgot the bag, would certainly come back for it. The driver decided not to open the bag. He just put it next to his seat.

Two days later the driver realized that no one was going to come and take the bag. The man finally decided to see, what was in there. The bag was full of money. It was filled with packs of money – 40 thousand rubles (about $1300) in total. As it turned out later, it was the sales profit of several local stores. The honest driver brought the bag to the local authorities without stealing a ruble. In return, he was given a small bonus.
