The result of European integration: pensions in Russia and Ukraine were compared

12

Former Prime Minister of Ukraine Mykola Azarov said that his country is the poorest state in Europe in all respects. He said this on March 11, 2021 during the "Smart Guys" program of the radio station "Moscow says".

The former prime minister noted that earlier the poorest European countries were Albania and Moldova. But European integration had an extremely negative impact on Ukraine. As a result, now Ukrainian pensions are, on average, three times less than Russian ones.



Azarov believes that Ukraine will face a sad fate while maintaining the current government. He noted that over the past 7 years, almost 10 million people have left Ukraine to work.

This is a country in which the birth rate is two and a half times less than the death rate. And the death rate after the coup increased by 155 thousand people a year. This is a lot, the whole city dies out every year

- stated Azarov.

He remembered that when he was the head of the government, i.e. more than 7 years ago, the average Ukrainian pensions and salaries were slightly higher than in Russia. The salary was then about $ 500 a month, and the pension was about $ 200.

Azarov stressed that at that “totalitarian” time, Ukrainians lived richer than Bulgarians and Romanians who were members of the European Union and NATO. Now Ukrainians are really impoverished and the trends are disappointing.

He summed up that there is a "hole" in the Pension Fund of Ukraine, amounting to 200 billion hryvnias. The country is "zombifying" the population, persecutions and repressions are carried out against the media and political forces that have an opinion that differs from the opinion of the current government.

Note that for some time in the media and social networks, information has been flashing about Donbass, associated with Azarov and the former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Vitaly Zakharchenko. For example, that in 2021 Azarov may head the LPR, and Zakharchenko will become the head of the DPR. Some predict that Zakharchenko will then become the head of the "united Donbass", and Azarov will head the government with him. It is difficult to say how much these rumors correspond to reality, but Zakharchenko gave a great interview at the end of February.

      As a result, now Ukrainian pensions are, on average, three times less than Russian ones.

      got into the Internet, the average pension in Russia is $ 205, in Ukraine $ 125. And if we take into account the difference in prices, it turns out that the prime minister of Ukraine does not even know mathematics ... Although what a priest (Yanukovych), such is the parish ...

        in Ukraine 125 $.

        Where does this figure come from?

        In 2013, the average pension in Ukraine reached its maximum value for all years of independence, amounting to $ 180 in equivalent. In 2016, 7,5 million Ukrainian pensioners receive a pension below the subsistence level, out of 12,5 million pensioners, 7,4 million receive a pension of up to UAH 1500 (less than $ 100 in equivalent).

        What does "average pension" mean? This indicator is calculated as follows: the pensions of all residents of the region (city or country) are summed up and divided by the number of recipients.

        For example, more than 762 thousand pensioners live in Kiev. To determine the average city pension, all payments were summed up and divided by the number of recipients. As a result, we received the figure of UAH 2284,42. This is the average pension in Kiev. The same scheme is used to calculate the average pension of residents of any other region of the country.
        In other words, for example, a former judge receives a pension of more than 15 thousand hryvnias, and a disabled person - a little more than a thousand. And if you add up both payments and divide by two, then the picture will turn out to be very good. On average, there are 8 thousand for each.

        https://naiu.org.ua/gde-v-ukrayne-zhyvut-samye-bogatye-pensyonery/

        1500 hryvnia is - $ 54,13
        2284,42 UAH is - 82,42 $

        Where did you get the $ 125 figure?

          I type in the search engine "average pension in Ukraine" and get 351000 results. I am reading the first for 2021 https://finance.liga.net/pension/novosti/skolko-sostavlyaet-srednyaya-pensiya-v-ukraine
          I divide the figure 3507 UAH by the average dollar rate of 28 UAH and get 125 $ ...
          The rest of the results are, in general, the same for the next period of time. You can, of course, look at the data for prehistoric times (such as 1913), but I think this would be an incorrect comparison.
          The same procedure applies to Russia ... hi

            I type in the search engine "average pension in Ukraine" and get 351000 results. Reading the first for 2021

            Well, so you probably chose the best of 3510000 "results".))
            And you choose the average of these 3,5 million of your lies.
            I have more relatives in Kiev than you have hair on your head. Tell your tales to someone else.)

              You, apparently, inattentively read - "I am reading the first for 2021 ..." ... and if there is nothing to answer in essence - do not be rude.

                My mother in Russia receives 17t rubles, her sister in Ukraine is 2200 UAH. Approximately the same length of service and working conditions. I get that 2.93 times. I don’t trust anyone’s statistics, there could be different nuances in the calculations of these pensions given by me, but 5800 rubles and 17000 rubles is a very noticeable difference. I doubt that any calculations will result in a difference of less than 2 times, and this is a very strong gap in the standard of living.

                Yes, what is rudeness then?
                The fact that I, it turns out, know better than you, how do you actually live there?)
                As I say, my relatives live in Ukraine. Many. I personally help them, whom and with what I can.
                Why should I read your "filkin certificates"?

      It is strange for me to hear such complaints - "skiggling" about the destructive results of "European integration" from the same former ukrop-prime minister who, together with his fellow party member, ukroprezik Yanyk, came to power (as a result of constitutional elections recognized then in the "assessor of the quality of democracy" - Washington, "the most transparent and democratic in the entire post-Soviet space"!) Thanks to the votes of an adequate majority of Ukrainian residents, under the slogans of the Customs Union, EurAsEC, anti-NATO and the state Russian language, they immediately renounced their election obligations and vilely spit on the pro-Russian aspirations of their voters, without holding any referendum or even a poll, they began with even greater zeal (already "no alternative" !!!) to continue the "orange-faced course" of the westernoid destructive minority, their non-voters, "burned out in the elections (just like Yanyk then became" The Best Yushchenko ", now Zelenukha, after being elected a maidanoprezik, became even the "Best Giblets" in the conduct of the anti-people-anti-state West Holuisk "course"!) "Banderonazi" paperedniks "!

      It is precisely this, in fact, poor in mind and mega-mercantile, pans Azirov and Yanyk with accomplices, having deceived their voters, turned 180 degrees in Judeo-Mazepa and proclaimed their anti-popular desire for anti-Russian "non-alternative European integration" of Ukraine, surpassed the rural "Svidomo" fool-Maid Dioxin in promoting marginal Banderonazis to the upper echelons of power and in even greater cooperation with the aggressive "NATO bloc (remember the pickets of civilians in Crimea against the" NATO military exercises "approved by these quasi" pro-Russian "Jews!)", Dooming the country they lead and its inhabitants to humiliating European slavery and degradation !!!

      The fact that "uncontested Euroassociators" -Banderophiles (in fact!) Yanyk and Azirov did not bargain with the "European Union" on the amount of "silver coins" for the sale of Ukraine and were eventually expelled from "feeding the authorities" by their "cheaper" colleagues in ukroderiban, does not make them less guilty of the bloody Washington-Banderonazi lawlessness happening on the territory of the present American colony "Ukraine" - they stood at the origins of the "Euromaidan" (Yanyk, in an interview at the time, verbally "applauded" the Maydauns, they say, he very much even understands that "people went out into the street to hold a rally for the European association, "because these vile hypocrites were not going to change their treacherous" course "and promised to sign a" suction "with the EU a little" poorer ", after resolving the issue of" raising money "for this!) and promoted flywheel of this "no alternative European integration" !!! negative

      If these putrid "rygiAnaly" again come to total power in the Donbass, it will be kapets (against their destructive "general background" even the mediocre swindler Chepushilin will seem "a very intelligent guy")!
      IMHO

        Quote: pishchak
        Now these, who fled to Russia from their own accomplices, Judeo-Mazepa "uncontested European integrators" are pretending to be "white and fluffy" deceived "in the best intentions" ..., hoping for a short memory of their fellow citizens betrayed by them ?! It's strange for me to hear such complaints, "skiglenie" ...

        I would like to think that no one will forget ..., but now they will say whatever they want so that it does not work out like in a classic film - listen, but now I'm from this office or to the registry office or to prison, you know

      ... earlier the poorest European countries were Albania and Moldova. But European integration had an extremely negative impact on Ukraine. As a result, now Ukrainian pensions are, on average, three times less than Russian ones. ... over the past 7 years, almost 10 million people have left Ukraine to work.

      Moldova took the "western course" at the end of 1993. It was very difficult in the nineties. And then the Moldovans reached out all over the world to earn money. Now the budget of Moldova for 30-40 %% consists of transfers of migrant workers. Well, the old-sick, left over from the USSR, died out of poverty, hunger strike, lack of money for food-treatment. A new generation has grown up, almost not speaking Russian, focused on Italy-Spain-Portugal. Pensions in Moldova are penny, but few people live on retirement. Most of the children from their new homelands send a couple of kopecks. And for these transfers in Moldova, all prices, tariffs, housing and communal services are oriented, currency exchange - five pieces per meter, they sit and change. And no work is needed.
      Ukraine, years later, will also come to this. Oh, okay.
