I doubt a lot of people would even get the vaccine, if it would be offered in my country. There is a deep mistrust towards the Russian government. And I think this goes for Russians themselves as well. Which is a shame because Russian science is quite good, despite their own government.

You’re driven by prejudices and propaganda. Russia vaccinates own population in mass now. I got my first shot two weeks ago and on Monday gonna get a second, for free.

Unfortunately what the world witnesses so far about Russian 'pharma' is the continuous streak of poisonings and denials. No wonder lots of people have doubts.
As for anything visible happening currently 'en masse' is the protestor arrests. Holding cells overflowing to the extent that people are being ferried to distant police stations, in some cases over 100km away. No way this is helping to contain the virus spread.

This is exactly it. Main reason there are no queues to get vaccinated in Russia is public distrust.
Unfortunately, Sputnik V is associated with Putin-the-Underpants-poisoner, 2014 Sochi Olympics, Civil war in Syria, Civil war in Ukraine, invasion of Crimea... and that association is not good.
