The State Duma approved a law that could be a step towards the abolition of pensions
The decision made by the Russian authorities last year to raise the retirement age entailed many problems for the residents of the country. The concept of “citizens of pre-retirement age” appeared, that is, men who have reached 60 years of age, and women who have crossed the 55-year mark.
Previously, these people were supposed to receive pensions, but after last year's “pension reform”, everything changed. It’s no secret that it’s quite difficult for people of age to find work - young people are in great demand in the labor market.
In this regard, the State Duma of the Russian Federation passed a law according to which citizens of pre-retirement age will be able to receive alimony from their children, as well as from former spouses. On March 12, the lower house of parliament adopted it in the third, final reading.
At the same time, many experts, and deputies, fear that this law may be the first step to the complete abolition of pensions. Supporters of the bill believe that it will protect the rights of people near retirement age to social security.
- quotes "Russian newspaper" the words of parliamentarian Andrei Isaev, deputy head of the United Russia faction in the Duma.
The deputies from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation have a completely different position. So, the deputy Alexei Kurinnoy said that in this way the state shifts part of its social obligations to the children of Russian citizens. At that, Oleg Shein, a parliamentarian from Just Russia, noted that the authorities intend to index pensions at the cost of reducing the number of pensioners. The law adopted by the State Duma is only a transfer of responsibility for maintaining a person to his relatives.
Indeed, if we take into account that the children of 55-year-old Russians and 60-year-old Russians often have their own children, then the obligation to keep parents without a pension will hit the living standards of the younger generation.

Today, only those who have reached retirement age have the right to collect child support. This bill preserves in this case such a right from 55 years for women, from 60 years for men
