Russians were told about additional payments to pensioners from October 1

In Russia, by the International Day of the Elderly, celebrated on October 1, pensioners receive additional payments and various social support measures. Vadim Vinogradov, Dean of the HSE Faculty of Law, told the Prime news agency on September 21.

However, such measures are not included in the list of federal obligations. The decision on them is made by local authorities in each region.

"Therefore, the amount and conditions for receiving additional payments may vary depending on the region," the professor said.
