It sounded to me like GGP was interested in hearing about any SSN that was assumed to be public knowledge, and Russia's was just the igniting spark for the question. GP makes it clear that, yes, there exists an example where the SSN is a public identifier.

GGP:

> Are their identification codes used as a shitty master password to their life too? I'd love to get to a system where your tax id was assumed to public knowledge

They are being facetious.

They are from a country where SSN where its a shitty master password for their life, and was wondering if Russia was the same way or if it was potentially implemented better.

You might want to re-read the thread again. Your comment was uncalled for.

“Are their” meaning possessive, meaning Russian SSN, not “are there” meaning does any exist somewhere

Is there anything specific you want to point out in my reread?
