We all know that russians do not care.

Deorbit takes about year from 400km But it depends on a few factors. Overall mass and density of object, shape, solar activity... Small, high density objects take long time to deorbit from that height. Low density objects take short to deorbit... or they may be even pushed to interplanetary...

ehm... maybe not... because it will slowly deorbit due to highly rarefied atmosphere... Still it will continue slowly on lower and lower orbits in the course of a few years. I agree that this is not a good habit to litter around...
