A well-known economist and Candidate of Economic Sciences Vasily Kutin in an interview with Gazeta.Ru" named the amount sufficient for a pensioner to live in a large Russian city in 2026.
According to the expert, we are talking about 40-50 thousand rubles. This is especially true for Moscow, St. Petersburg, Krasnodar, Rostov-on-Don and other megacities with high tariffs for services and utilities.
Kutin noted that the real average insurance pension is noticeably lower. Many elderly people are forced to save on food, medicines and transport, and also react sharply to rising prices. Even indexing often does not cover real needs. The structure of pensioners' expenses differs from the official consumer basket, where medicine, medicines, utilities and products are becoming more expensive the fastest.
