She noted that a pension of more than 50 thousand rubles "cannot be called ordinary, but such information is quite plausible."

Gustova said that every Russian "has his own personal retirement account, which takes into account many circumstances."

She explained that such accruals as monthly cash payment (EDV), which veterans, people with disabilities and other categories of citizens can count on, can significantly increase the size of the pension.

In addition, according to her, there is a set of social services for federal beneficiaries, monthly financial support for special merits, allowances for work in the North and in hazardous work.

Earlier, the deputy manager of the Omsk branch of the Pension Fund of Russia Natalia Smigasevich said that in the Omsk region a 70-year-old Russian woman receives an insurance pension in the amount of 52 533 rubles.
