Biezbardis said that in January, old-age insurance pensions were indexed by 6.3%.

He also clarified that the possibility of receiving insurance pensions in the amount of 25 thousand rubles "is influenced by a number of factors that are inaccessible to most Russians."

According to him, the average size of an old-age insurance pension for non-working Russians is 17.5 thousand rubles.

Earlier, the head of the Ministry of Labor Anton Kotyakov said that pensions in Russia in 2021 are indexed above the inflation rate.
