Deputy of the Petersburg Legislative Assembly Maxim Bands proposed to increase the pensions of participants of the great Patriotic war five times — up to 200 thousand rubles. A bill to amend the Federal legislation he has introduced in city Parliament.

In the video, posted on YouTube, Reznik noted that now in Russia the participants in the war receive much less than veterans of other belligerents. He believes that it is unfair.

the MP added that participants in the war remained very low — about 75 thousand for the whole country. “They’re leaving, and not waiting for a just gratitude from the state, which defended”, he said.

the decision to increase pensions “would protect the social rights of participants of the great Patriotic war from the Russian Federation, the share of which dropped a huge upheaval and a big part of the misery of war”. “This bill will help not only in words but in deeds, to pay tribute and gratitude to the participants of the great Patriotic war”, — says Resnick.
