Latest news about pension reform in Russia: changes that will come into force in 2020
- It was intended to establish a fairly long period (from 2020 to 2034), during which a smooth and as painless transition to the new provisions of the law was to take place.
- During the introduced adaptation period, it was planned to annually raise the retirement age to 65 years for men and 63 for women.
- For persons with extensive work experience, minor concessions are provided. The male population can retire after working for 42 years, and women - 37 years.
The current retirement age was established in the first half of the last century . It responded to the realities of the time, when the average life expectancy was just over 40 years, and for every pensioner there were about 4 people of working age. Over the past 80 years, the situation has changed dramatically. There has been a significant increase in both life expectancy and the number of pensioners themselves.
Pension reform in the DPR 2020 latest news
Ukrainian political scientist, president of the Center for Innovation Consulting “KDA” Dmitry Korneychuk called the pension reform an attempt to save on people in order to leave more funds in the budget for theft. People's Deputy from the Opposition Bloc faction Yuriy Pavlenko believes that over the past three years the incomes of Ukrainian pensioners have decreased three times.
The head of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, Alexander Shokhin, expressed the opinion that the retirement age in Russia should be raised gradually. Also on the sidelines of SPIEF, he said that different schemes for this process are currently being discussed. According to him, the age increase can occur once a year or once every six months - several schemes are being discussed.
Increasing pensions in the LPR: how much will payments increase in 2020
The fighting in eastern Ukraine affected absolutely every resident of Donbass. Some have left the region, while others simply have nowhere to go. First of all, these include pensioners who remain in cities, despite the danger of a resumption of the active phase of hostilities. In the self-proclaimed Lugansk People's Republic, pension provision for citizens has somehow been improved, but the current amount is not enough to live on. Therefore, many residents of the war zone can only hope for a possible increase in the amount of payments. Today we’ll talk about whether there will be an increase in pensions in the self-proclaimed LPR in 2020, and if so, what it will be.
Some categories of the population have already taken advantage of the opportunity to re-register pensions in territories controlled by Ukraine. However, here too the leadership of the self-proclaimed LPR intends to clip the wings of particularly zealous citizens. Recently, information appeared in one of the media that residents of Lugansk and the region who receive a “double pension” will be required to return the “Lugansk pension” paid to them to the budget. Moreover, they will be fined. Earlier, the Pension Fund in the city of Sverdlovsk stated that active work is underway to identify “double pensioners” and exclude them from the number of recipients of funds.
“Russian pensions in the DPR and LPR”: how the Moscow “elite” counts the money of poor old people in Donbass
Deputy editor-in-chief of the Russian Reporter magazine Marina Akhmedova responded to some heartless representatives of Russian society who believe that Donbass pensioners are “shovelling money”, receiving several pensions.
“I read from Venediktov: “Pensioners in Donbass have the right to THREE pensions - DPR/LPR, Ukrainian and Russian (if taking Russian citizenship). Wow!“.
And this is very good! In 15, this pension from the Republics was more than 2 thousand rubles, and we carried food to pensioners; they had nothing to buy it with. Now the minimum pension is 4 thousand rubles.
And in order to receive a Ukrainian pension, you had to get a pass to cross the border, go through all the checkpoints, withstand all the “Stand up straight!” Don’t touch each other!“, all the humiliating searches and interrogations.
My driver took pensioners to the other side - they mostly drove there. Often the checkpoints were locked and vehicles remained under fire overnight. For many, it was impossible to get off the bus and rent roadside housing for 400 rubles - it was too expensive. Going to the toilet is a huge problem: the plantings are mined. And how many times have buses driven their rear wheels onto the side of the road and exploded! And how many elderly people died from a heart attack by morning. Has anyone counted their number as scrupulously as he counts the money in other people's wallets? Often adult sons did not let their elderly parents go alone, they went with them. So this is the worst thing for older women - when their sons are taken away to be checked. And the pension on the Ukrainian side was not great. Well, they deserved it - they worked all their lives.
Only a few hundred people have received Russian citizenship (so far). And several million live in the Republics. Not everyone will receive this Russian pension, but if they do, then - hurray!
Note RV: We are probably talking about pensioners here, since as of December 2020, about 51 thousand residents of the DPR and 48 thousand residents of the LPR received Russian citizenship.
Reading this insinuating story about three pensions, I remembered how we arrived in Chernukhino. Chernukhino, erased from the face of the earth. I thought there was no one left there. But the old people came pouring out of the ruins. There weren’t enough food packages for everyone, and the grandfather, who arrived on a bicycle, began to cry. I gave him money, he returned it - there are no stores nearby. So here it is. These people deserve all the pensions in the world. And someone would be better off counting their fees.
In addition, those who apply for Russian citizenship [and a Russian pension] will not be paid a republican pension.
***
So pensions in the DPR and LPR. Let me remind you: it seems to some that pensioners here are shoveling pensions from the Republic, and from Russia, and from Ukraine. Well…
The minimum pension in Ukraine is 2 thousand hryvnia. You must receive it once every 58 days, otherwise it will be blocked for you for six months or a year. That is, Ukraine is interested in creating the maximum number of obstacles for pensioners from the DPR and LPR to receive a pension.
If a pensioner is a complete beggar (which is most often the case) then he gets to Ukraine in several ways: for example, in Donetsk early in the morning he takes public transport to the Yuzhny bus station, from there he takes a bus for 70 rubles, goes through the DPR customs to zero and from there stands in line - two hours, three, five, half a day - in any weather and standing. The queues are often huge.
Then he enters the gray zone and travels to the Ukrainian zero by bus for 10 hryvnia to the Ukrainian customs. Goes through passport control. And he already transfers to another transport, which takes him to his desired destination in Ukraine. He arrives there at night or the next morning. He needs to eat and spend the night. He often spends at least 1,000 hryvnia on the trip there and back. This could be half of the pension that Ukraine gives him for working for it all his life. Often these are people who have performed hard physical labor throughout their lives.
If health does not allow saving, then people travel by minibuses. One way it costs 500 hryvnia. 1000 hryvnia is 2600 rubles.
The minimum republican pension is 4 thousand rubles. In order to receive a Russian one, you need not only to obtain a Russian passport, but also to be registered on its territory. If a pensioner received a Russian passport, then this is not the same as receiving a Russian pension. He will receive a pension from the republic.
If he has the strength and nerves to go to Ukraine for a pension, then his monthly income (counting the minimum) will be 6 thousand 600 rubles. Prices in stores (I looked yesterday) are not lower than in Moscow, but higher for fruits. But that’s okay - pensioners in the Republics don’t eat fruit. They're not supposed to. For them there is an abundance of cereals, pasta, flour, and potatoes.
Particularly cunning residents of Ukraine are also taking a bite out of the pensions of residents of the DPR and LPR. They free pensioners from standing in queues at the pension fund and at banks. They arrange pensions for them themselves. With the active assistance of pension fund employees. Otherwise it would be impossible. In return they demand a percentage. They keep pensioner cards with them all the time. When a pensioner arrives, they go together to collect their pension, receive it and earn their percentage there. Employees of the Ukrainian Pension Fund also chip away from this percentage. And this is not the only story about pensions.
Yes, I am deeply outraged by the statement of well-fed Muscovites about pensioners of the DPR and LPR.”
Pension reform in the DPR 2020 latest news

This terrible news was reported by Noel Kaptun, a UN representative.

Pension reform: news, changes to pensions, pension system, and pension legislation
Against the backdrop of a reduction in the period for payment of benefits for other categories of citizens, the promise to maintain the current order for pre-retirees looks like a gift: no more than 12 months in total for one and a half years, increasing the payment period (up to a maximum of 24 months in total for three years) for long work experience. In addition, previously the pre-retirement age in the law “On Employment of the Population in the Russian Federation” was considered to be the last 2 years before retirement, but now the last 5 years will be considered.
The normal retirement age in 2020 was raised from 55 to 56 for women and from 60 to 61 for men. And no one will get a regular, non-early retirement. Then every year the retirement age will increase by a year until it reaches 60 years for women and 65 years for men...

What is the size and procedure for registering a pension in the LPR?
Pension provision for citizens who, due to age or work experience, have become entitled to receive such payments, is the direct responsibility of the state. Despite the fact that Ukraine never recognized the self-proclaimed republics that were formed as a result of the coup in 2014, the authorities stopped fulfilling their obligation to provide social payments. Now there are independent funds operating in the regions; they are the ones who determine what pensions will be in the LPR and DPR.
As of 2020, more than 436 thousand pensioners live on the territory of the Lugansk People's Republic, of which 216 thousand receive minimum payments. The maximum benefit amount is not limited by the state; the amount directly depends on the salary that the citizen received before reaching retirement age.

The remaining 211 thousand received kopecks. In the Donetsk region, 278 thousand pensioners received more than 1000 hryvnia!

Retirement age in the DPR for women and men in 2020
Issues of social security in the Republic are a priority, therefore work is currently ongoing to develop and approve at the legislative level regulatory documents governing the conditions of pension provision and social protection of citizens of the Donetsk People's Republic.

Pension reform 2020, latest news
The government has calculated that to implement all planned national projects, it is necessary to find 8 trillion rubles. These additional funds are needed for 6 years, i.e. until 2024. It is noteworthy that this amount is 50% of the annual federal budget.
- On a general basis, in the first and second quarters, no one will be able to complete the insurance portion of the length of service until the citizen reaches the appropriate age;

Pension Reform in LPR 2020
Your own pension insurance will come into effect on January 1, 2020. But this also has its own aspects. For workers in the city of Lugansk aged 30-35 years, it will be mandatory in the amount of 2% of wages. This percentage will increase with wage growth, but not more than 15%. Interest will be accrued on the deducted funds, but not the same as on a deposit in a bank, obviously, but such as to maintain their integrity before the influence of inflation, most of all. The goal is to ensure that with this additional deduction the amount of pension benefits can be increased. But still, isn’t it more profitable to take the money to the bank and put it on deposit than to succumb to another deduction fund?
If all pensioners of the city of Lugansk with a sufficiently long experience expected an increase in pensions (the second stage of pension reform), then this has not happened yet. But from 2020, there will be restrictions on the minimum insurance period - 15 years for granting a pension. Moreover, if you have earned service from 15 to 16 years, you can retire at 65 years old, and with service from 16 to 26 years - at 63 years. Think about who worked in the city of Lugansk officially for only 25 years, and paid all the fees for these years. With the current standard of living in the city, surviving until you receive a pension will be a daunting task. Only a small part can be returned from the pension fund. Why can’t a transparent system of pension contributions be created so that every worker in the city of Lugansk can see their contributions? Upon retirement, he saw all the money he earned and gave a certain part (for example, 15-20%) to the Pension Fund to service his business. The rest would be distributed over 20 years with the opportunity to take the lost pension to the descendants of the deceased. Utopianism, of course. But in European countries it is possible to choose your own insurance company. We have a state monopoly and without transparency of our own cash flows, it is not difficult to calculate how unprofitable it is to work officially.
Average amount of pension contributions
According to official data, the average pension payment in the DPR is 5,000 rubles. According to preliminary calculations, the DPR authorities spend 28 billion a year on pension payments.
As for the size of the pension by category, we can highlight the following indicators:
Pension payments are realized no later than the 25th of each month, but not earlier than the 4th.

The length of service, gradually increasing, for both categories will eventually become the same - 27.5 years.

The government is completely unconcerned about retaining staff in rural hospitals.
- The salary on which a citizen pays taxes and for which points will be awarded (read about that here).
- The working period during which the employee earned seniority.
- Non-working periods during which you can earn extra points.
- The retirement age determines whether additional points are available or not.
