“The state has taken an interesting path, and I fully support what the president said regarding targeted payments to families with children from 3 to 7 years old per child.

This is a prototype of how you can move on and up to higher ages.

But the most important thing is that these are absolutely reasonable and feasible figures for the state, these are, in fact, several hundred billion rubles, which would reduce the poverty level by about half, "Kudrin said in an interview with RBC.

He noted that he is a supporter of permanent measures to combat poverty.

Kudrin did not disclose the details of the measures being prepared, specifying that the government has its own model "and it is quite reasonable."

Earlier, Alexei Kudrin said that Russia is using the old model of the economy, which has outlived its usefulness.
