RUSSIA IS GOING TO PAY PENSIONS TO ISRAEL RESIDENTS


The Russian authorities have decided to pay pensions to Israel residents. Respective agreement signed during recent visit of the Israel's Prime Minister's to Moscow. The agreement provides the transition to the principle of proportional payments for seniority gained by the residents of Israel in Russia and the RSFSR.

Former residents of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR) who had moved to Israel before 1992 and don't have a Russian citizenship (total amount is about 30 thousand people) will acquire the right to receive pensions from the Russian Federation after the treaty enters into the force.

Such the Kremlin's decision was perceived ambiguously by ordinary Russians, who have faced a significant deterioration of the financial situation, cutting salaries and pensions in last years. Recall also the incident, that took place during recent visit of the Russia's Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to the occupied Crimean peninsula, where during the meeting with locals he answered "there is no money, so good luck!" to an old lady, who was complaining him about extremely small pensions.
