The euphoria from the “active” actions of Vladimir Shamanov and the State Duma Defense Committee headed by him has ended. On December 7, after consideration of the 2017 budget, bill No. 15473-7, directly related to the indexation of military pensions in 2017, was adopted in the second and third readings.
Chief defender of the 2017-2019 budget. Anton Siluanov
THE FEDERAL LAW
“On suspension of the second part of Article 43 of the Law Russian Federation"On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, Federal service troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families" in connection with the Federal Law "On the Federal Budget for 2017 and for the planning period of 2018 and 2019"
Article 1
1. Suspend until January 1, 2018 the effect of part two of Article 43 of the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993No. 4468-I"On pension provision for persons who served in military service, service in internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control of the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, the Federal Service of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families "(Gazette of the Congress of People's Deputies of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Soviet of the Russian Federation, 1993, No. 9, Art. 328; Collection of Legislation of the Russian Federation, 1995, No. 49, Art. 4693; 1998, No. 30, Art. 3613; 2002, No. 27 , Art. 2620; 2003, Art. 2700; 2011, Art. 6407;

Article 2
This Federal Law comes into force on January 1, 2017.
The president
Russian Federation V. Putin
Considering that canceled for another year(until January 1, 2018, that is, the 5th year in a row) indexation of military pay, Also indexation canceledmilitary pensionsby no less than 2 percent from January 1, 2017.
Also silently May Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 604 is not being implemented(dated May 7, 2012) on the annual increase in military pensions by 2 percent above the inflation rate. Inflation planned by the government for 2017 in the budget of 4%, in accordance with this Decree, should have led to an increase in military pensions by at least 6%. But from February 1, 2017, military pensions will be indexed by only 4%(72.23/69.45=1.04). And no further indexation of military pensions is provided for in 2017.
At the beginning of 2017, all pensioners, both military and civilian, will be paid 5 thousand rubles as consolation compensation for the lack of a second indexation of pensions in 2016.
Civil pensions are also planned to be indexed from February 1, 2017, but more than military pensions, that is, in accordance with the 2016 inflation rate (approximately 5.5 percent).
Tighten your seat belts, dear military retirees. You already live well. And all your past achievements, when you risked your health and life, steadfastly endured the difficulties and deprivations of military service, huddled in strange corners, are in the past. The state is trying to forget about them. It’s not easy to forget, but every year, without hesitation, he lowers the standard of living of military pensioners lower and lower and cancels the indexation of pay and military pensions required by law.
P.S. This situation was already observed in the early 2000s and ended with a massive transition of military pensioners to civil pensions. But today, while average military pensions exceed civilian ones by more than one and a half times, those at the top apparently believe that nothing terrible is happening and military pensioners can once again (many, many times!) be patient and wait until oil reaches $100 per barrel or as a result of some miracle, the Russian economy will not work and its growth rate will be at least 5-7 percent per year.
This year, 2017, television screens are filled with stories of military operations in Syria and military exercises in Russia itself - and it seems to every citizen that a military man is a very highly paid profession and a military pensioner, having served the Motherland for more than 20 years - very wealthy and in nothing not a needy person. What other opinion can be formed after the ceremonial stories of the media?
But people who serve in the RF Armed Forces or have retired due to length of service know very well that not everything is so safe and good. These problems exist, but for some reason they are not discussed on the screens of state channels. Anything is discussed - there can be discussions about Trump and Poroshenko, refugees in the European Union for a whole month, but the real problems within the country are taboo. Meanwhile, even in such a seemingly prosperous Russian army, there are problems.
In this article we will not voice them in full, we will only say that the law on monetary support (allowances) for military personnel adopted in 2011 is not being implemented - or rather, its effect was simply suspended. Just like that, the simply established annual indexation of military pay was canceled and has not been applied successfully for 5 years. But we will touch upon the problems of military pensioners in more detail.
According to official statistics, as of 2017, there were 2,500,000 military pensioners in Russia. That is, citizens discharged from military service into the reserve, who are subject to Federal Law dated May 27, 1998 N 76-FZ (as amended on July 3, 2016) “On the status of military personnel.”
All these citizens, or as they often call themselves “military pensions,” are entitled to a long-service pension. To acquire such a right, a serviceman must have a duration of continuous experience military service for at least 20 years.
Pensions for military pensioners in 2017
Now, regarding military pensions in 2017. Again, officials at all levels in the Ministry of Defense itself and in the Defense Commission of the State Duma assure the Russian population that a military pensioner is the wealthiest of all pensioners. And he gets so much money that he doesn’t have time to travel around the world. But the military pensions themselves know that this is far from the case.
Retired privates and sergeants with 20 years of service have a pension of about 8,000 rubles. This can also be calculated using a regular military pension calculator. And all those girls and women military personnel who come under shelling in Syria, having served 20 years, will receive the same 8,000 rubles. That's all the gratitude of our native state. And this woman, on a well-deserved military pension, will not go on a trip around the world - but will go to get any job for 8,000 rubles a month, because a person after serving in the army is not particularly needed by anyone and is not expected anywhere. A good places distributed a long time ago. And therefore the main source of income will still remain military pension. But the state did not fail here either.
A reduction factor of 0.54 was introduced into the law on pension provision for persons discharged from military service. Perhaps there has never been such a “fair decision” by the state in the history of Russia and the Soviet Union. We don’t talk about other states at all. Moreover, this coefficient was introduced only for military pensioners.
This rule does not apply to judges of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation and military courts, prosecutors (including military personnel of the military prosecutor's office) and employees of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation (including military investigative bodies of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation), pensioners from among these persons and members of their families.
Another “hiccup” in calculating a military pension is that for an ordinary state civil servant, the pension is calculated from the entire amount of earnings, including bonuses and additional payments, and for a military pensioner only from the amount of money - salary according to position, salary according to military rank And percentage increase for long service.
Indexation of military pensions
Since the salaries of military personnel have not been increased for 5 years, there has accordingly been no increase in military pensions in this regard. There was still hope for a fair indexation of military pensions. But it was not there. Since 2014, the provisions of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2012 No. 604 have not been fully implemented.
That is, the total under-indexation over 5 years was more than 27%. And this is very decent money for military pensioners.
According to the general opinion of military pensioners, the incomplete implementation of Decree No. 604 actually discredits the state-guaranteed level of pension provision for military personnel, at which military pensioners could count on a recalculation pension payments above inflation.
Indexation of military pensions in 2017
On the indexation of military pensions in 2017. One indexation is planned and it has already taken place. In February 2017, military pensions were indexed (by only 4%) compared to civil pensioners(5.4%). This is extremely low and offensive indexing. A huge number of appeals from military pensioners on this issue have been written to various authorities:
President and Supreme Commander-in-Chief V. Putin;
Chairman of the Government D. Medvedev;
Assistant to the President - Head of the State Legal Department of the President of the Russian Federation;
Chairmen of the State Duma and Federation Council;
Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation Yu. Chaika;
Minister of Defense S. Shoigu;
To the Chairmen of the State Duma Defense Committee V. Komoyedov (former) and V. Shamanov (current);
Commissioner for Human Rights under the President;
Chairman of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation;
Head of the Presidential Administration and many others officials and government agencies.
Military pensions in 2017 last news
The main issues in these appeals are issues of injustice currently affecting military pensioners. In many replies and statements by high government officials, there is a concealment of the true state of affairs with the indexation of military pensions, and sometimes a direct distortion of the existing situation.
You can often read or hear that “... the legislative and executive authorities are working to increase the level of military pensions and prevent a decrease in the level of real incomes of military pensioners. So, in the period from 2013 to 2016. pensions for military pensioners increased by 28.6 percent, including by 4 percent in 2016.”
Are there really officials in all government agencies who do not know that it is necessary to take into account not only the indexation of military pensions, but also inflation for the same period? And inflation from 2013 to 2016 exceeded 40%. It turns out that the real size of military pensions decreased over this period. Therefore, the statement “about preventing a decrease in the level of real incomes of military pensioners” - this is misleading public opinion .
Increase in military pensions 2017
The only indexation of military pensions planned in the 2017 budget took place. Since February 1, military pensions have been increased by 4%. This small indexation failed to reverse the steady downward trend in real military pensions since 2014. As a result, today (March 2017) military retirees can buy 6% fewer goods and services with their pensions than on January 1, 2012.
From April 1, 2017, social pensions will be indexed (old-age, disability and survivors' pensions). Social pensions will increase by 1.5%, which in monetary terms will be approximately from 65 to 180 rubles (depending on the disability group), as a result, the average pension amount will be equal to 8,774 rubles.
Thus, as a result of indexing, the average size social pension will increase by approximately 129 rubles, social pensions for disabled children - by 450 rubles, disability pensions for conscripted military personnel - by 181 rubles, survivor pensions - by 155 rubles.
All the best to you, dear veterans military service! And hang in there - good health to you.
Today's world is so unpredictable that many citizens of our country are seriously concerned about what the future may hold for them. And this is not without reason, because for many segments of the population, government assistance is vital in order to simply survive. For example, military pensioners who have experienced first-hand what an economic crisis is like in the country: prices rise along with payments for utilities, and pensions clearly do not keep up with inflation, which directly affects the standard of living of the most vulnerable segments of the population.
About pensions of military pensioners
In our country, a huge amount of money is spent annually on providing security forces, and, despite the fact that the pensions of military pensioners are slightly higher than the pensions of other public sector employees: doctors, teachers, educators, the level of these pensions is still insufficient. If the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 7, 2012 had been implemented, then Every year the level of payments to military pensioners would have to increase by the amount of inflation + 2%. Thus, it was expected to reach the level of normal wages military man. But in practice, fulfilling this promise turned out to be much more difficult than in words.
Will there be an increase in military pensions in 2017?
Based on official information, in particular on the statements of Deputy Minister of Finance L. Gornin regarding military pensions, we can answer the question in the affirmative regarding the increase in pensions for military pensioners in 2017. But at the same time, this increase should rather be called military pensions will be increased from February 1, 2017 by only 4%, which approximately corresponds to the inflation rate for the next 2017. Also, according to the Deputy Minister of Finance, after this “increase” the average level of pensions for military pensioners throughout the country will be almost 24.5 thousand rubles.
One-time payment 2017
As for the payment in the amount of 5,000 rubles, as you know, it was not initially planned to pay it to military pensioners, but after the President of the Russian Federation intervened in this issue, it was decided to assign this one-time payment to all categories of military pensioners. Thus, in January 2017, all military pensioners, without exception, will have to receive 5 thousand. rubles lump sum payment. 
How do Russian military pensioners live?
The general standard of living of military pensioners in Russia certainly leaves room for improvement. And the fact that military pensioners will be able to receive only a 4% increase in pension in 2017 will make few people happy. However, it is worth remembering that military personnel in our country retire after 20 years of work, that is, many security forces become pensioners by the age of forty. And after retirement they continue to be active labor activity, simultaneously
Why is everyone interested in pensions for military pensioners in 2017, all the latest news from the State Duma, indexation? After all, a lot changes in the country every year. Foreign policy, then domestic policy, big projects and construction begin and end. Russia is developing, why do people regularly update news about?
Indexation, 2017
The authorities announced that the cancellation of 2016 was temporary and the arrival of 2017 confirmed this.
On February 1, the first indexation for pensioners already took place, amounting to 5.4%, confirming the statements made back on January 3, 2017, made by I. Sinevsky.
However, many military pensioners soon became indignant, because instead of the 5.4% promised, they received only a 4% increase, which was extremely an unexpected surprise. Questions remain for the authorities responsible for this, because the reasons for this discrepancy between promises and reality are unknown. Whether it was a simple mistake or something else is still unclear. Pensioners also noted the lack of certain benefits prescribed by law.
Military personnel do not yet know whether pensions will be increased in the future or whether indexation will continue. The authorities are making optimistic statements: the budget for 2017 has already been approved and pensioners will receive all payments in full. Moreover, even working pensioners will receive an increase, although indexation for their payments was canceled earlier. This may not be the last good news about the promotion.
Discussion of pensions
A few years ago, a special law was adopted according to which pensions were automatically indexed annually. This made pensioners happy, because prices also rise every year, and the cost of tariffs for the same gas, electricity, and water increases. Food and clothing are becoming more expensive. Pensioners are a particularly vulnerable group of the population, because their main income is government payments. Of course, there are rich retirees who have built their own business and now, having transferred control to their sons or grandsons, live quietly on the interest on their income, being the owners of shares.
Others are happy under the care of a family - children and grandchildren are cared for and supported by their parents. This is right and good, because they raised and educated, having spent a lot of effort, now they can get a well-deserved rest. However, there are also thousands of lonely old people living in the country who are forced to provide for themselves. Others also support their families with their pensions and help their relatives. Some pensioners have chosen to live independently, deciding not to burden their grown children; let them build their relationships without interference. They live well on their own.
It doesn’t matter what the circumstances of retirees are, because they have worked tirelessly for many years, especially military retirees. They selflessly served for the good, defense and well-being of the Motherland. Their work is considered especially difficult and sometimes dangerous, so the circumstances of retirement for military personnel are different:
Length of service – if the years of service are 20 or more years, then you can resign, the person will be considered a full-fledged military pensioner with all the benefits that are due, even if his age is not yet old.
What changes in military pensions in 2017 and earlier forced people to pay closer attention to the news?
Last year, in 2016, the decree on annual mandatory indexation was violated and instead of increasing their pensions, people received a one-time payment (5,000 rubles). This was explained by the difficult situation in the country's economy; expenses were cut. Therefore, there were layoffs among civil servants, some had their salaries cut, and some projects were frozen. A year has passed and now there are new rumors that indexation will be completely abolished, as happened with the pensions of working pensioners.
Working pensioners are people who have already reached old age and retired from their main job. However, after that they found another job and, having officially settled down, receive a monthly salary. According to the government, this group of active pensioners is considered more prosperous when compared with ordinary pensioners who are on vacation and have no other source of permanent income.
Therefore, their pension size is smaller and indexation for it was cancelled. However, when such pensioners finish working and finally retire, they will move to another category, ordinary pensioners, and payments will increase accordingly, indexation will appear.
Another news soon was the increase in recognized retirement age both sexes (this applied to civilians, since they are considered pensioners only after reaching certain years). How can this apply to military pensioners if they have different conditions for receiving the same pension? Well, when a military man, already retired himself, reaches retirement age, he registers as a pensioner, receives his account and accumulates points like other pensioners. Then he will be considered both a military man and an ordinary pensioner.
Benefits for military retirees
The excitement is also caused by the interest of future retirees. After all, every person at some point thinks about the future, especially about old age. Mature people those building a career monitor the increase or decrease in benefits and pensions, especially military ones. When and by how much will the military pension be indexed, will the benefits provided be reduced?
