Prime Minister Vladimir Putin took part in the Second National Pension Forum
"The main goal of the Pension Forum this year is “to synchronize watches”, and to make sure that both the federal Government and the regional authorities are fully prepared to implement two major social projects. I’m referring to the planned increase of pensions, and the replacement of the Uniform Social Tax with insurance premiums."
