“This is a great offer that will delight retirees, and the money will not be superfluous,” he said.

According to the parliamentarian, these payments will give impetus to the development of the domestic industry, as they will eventually be used to buy various things.

“As we understand it, the money that pensioners will receive will be used to consume, first of all, high-quality, domestic, inexpensive goods, so this will help both the national economy and pensioners,” Gutenev emphasized.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed in 2021 a one-time payment of 10 thousand rubles to all pensioners of Russia.
