military spending is aimed at implementing this strategy of dual containment of russia and china. the history of democracy in russia goes back to ancient times. the national assembly of residents in the veche made decisions on all significant issues and played a key role in the formation of... russian statehood; by the 16th century, a new institution of class representation had appeared: the councils of the whole earth. they ensured legitimacy and continuity of power and established a new electoral tradition. catherine ii included elements of election for solving a number of state problems. for the first time , the foundations of suffrage were laid in relation to cities and the urban population. thanks to the reforms of alexander ii in russia.

zemstvos appeared. the people were legitimized as a new source of power. the state duma became the country's first all-class legislative body. she was elected for 5 years. the elections were multi-stage, held in four chickens. elections to the constituent assembly became universal, equal and direct, and took place under secret ballot. the adopted law turned out to be revolutionary for russia. there were voting rights. not only men, but also women. in 1936, universal, equal, direct elections were enshrined in the ussr constitution. in december 1993 , the current constitution of russia was adopted. modern electoral legislation is being formed, legislation on political parties, systems of election commissions are laying the foundation for gas elections. digitalization is actively underway. electoral

procedures: russia is significantly ahead of other countries in organizing and conducting elections. today , every russian voter understands how important it is to make their choice in order to support changes for the better in our lives. elections in russia are important, fair, convenient. so, the whole country came to vdnkh. a grandiose russia exhibition has opened in the capital. this is 90,000 m. where the best achievements of 89 regions, 22 ministries and departments and companies are presented. from november 9th. dnh hosts days

reading passed a bill banning schoolchildren from using mobile phones. joining us live from the state duma is my colleague natalya solovyova, natalya, greetings, tell us more about this bill, how did the deputies manage to come to a consensus when will the second reading be? yes, tatyana, hello, work on okhotny ryad continues, there is quite a lot of it, of course, all these last days, the most important topic remains the budget, but at the same time deputies do not forget about social bills, and they raise various problems, including, today a corresponding bill was introduced into the state duma, and today the speaker of the lower house of parliament, vyacheslav volodin, said that it would be a good idea for relevant officials and deputies to check the situation, as they say on the ground, it is advisable to do this

during the regional parliamentary week , it starts in the state duma on november 20. when such a liqueur appears, there are immediately social elements around it, and this is all in front of children, in the entrances of houses, so we must definitely conduct a full-fledged dialogue with government, to convince those who take a different position, let's invite them with us to a regional week, in the shadow of offices, sometimes the price sees life, so we need to go down to earth to feel the situation there and these... problems, and now let's talk about those bills, which have already been adopted in different readings, now the meeting is still ongoing, well, firstly, in the second and third readings, today unanimously... they adopted a bill to increase the minimum wage by 18.5%. from january 1 next year he amount to 19,242 rubles, now this amount is

just over 16,000 rubles. let me remind you that the president instructed to increase the mrod. another bill concerns indexing the salaries of military and law enforcement officers by 4.5%. this will be done from october 1 next year, and also from october the indexation of pensions will be carried out for persons discharged from the military and equivalent services. in addition, the state duma today adopted a bill on the extension of free medical care in new regions, so the integration of the lpr continues, dpr, zaporozhye and kherson region, into the legislative system of our country. deputies also responded to the unfriendliness. many european countries, in particular, a bill was adopted in the first reading, according to which visa fees for entry into the russian

federation will increase for absolutely all european citizens, and returning to your question about the sensational bill, this is one of the amendments in a comprehensive, let’s say, bill , which concerns changes in the law on education, it concerns precisely... the use of mobile phones by students on lessons. the authors of this initiative propose to ban the use of mobile phones to improve discipline, making an exception only for emergency cases. what is meant: the educational program provides means of communication only when it concerns, for example, a computer science lesson, when the children use the computers that are in the classroom for the lesson... when, for example , the interactive whiteboard is turned on and it is used by the teacher, not the student. this problem has been brewing for a very long time, approximately since

in general, schoolchildren now have mobile phones. the only thing that confused parents was that mobile phones are an opportunity to contact a child during some kind of emergency, but if we leave this opportunity to schoolchildren, then parents are ready to support... this initiative is approximately 83% of the total, of course, the bill itself , caused heated discussions, not only in the state duma, but on the internet, in particular, vyacheslav volodin even conducted a survey in his telegram channel, in which almost 300,000 people took part, that’s what he said today, while summarizing the discussion in the state duma. let's immediately adopt a quality standard, if we all see that we should... ban phones, let 's ban them, we won't discuss all other situations, except in emergency cases, we

agreed on a position regarding labor as an independent lesson, protected article 12 of the law and introducing labor training in schools, this is another amendment that should appear by the second reading. from the state duma there was my colleague, natalya solovyova. official the city tourist portal st. petersburg invites you to the new year holidays in st. petersburg. build a new year's route through squares and fairs, go to theater performances, visit famous museums and new creative spaces. feel the special atmosphere of the city on the neva. visit the st. petersburg stand at the forum. on vdd, your acquaintance with the hospitable northern capital begins here, get a taste of the city where good mood is born,

russian banks are achieving record profits, their total revenue is expected... will exceed 3 three rubles. the central bank talks about a stable level of development of the entire russian financial sector. maria filippova will tell you all the details. the russian financial market is recovering. the central bank today assesses its condition as quite stable. banks in profits, the volume of which significantly exceeds last year’s figures. experts emphasize that the increase in revenue was largely influenced by the so-called credit boom in 2023. we are in 2023. financial market, the development of its main sectors is noted

growth of individual indicators, not only relative to 2022, which in many ways... was a failure, but also relative to 2021 , that is, in this sense, we overcame the hole that 2022 led us into, by and large, we reached such a fairly stable development track. the obvious leader in terms of revenue in 2023, we can talk about this today, sberbank, chairman of the board germangrev talks about record profits, which, according to analysts, will grow by the end of the year and will break the 2021 record. next comes vtb, together the two organizations will take... everyone annual income of the banking sector is expected to be about 3 trillion rubles. these are the presidential decrees that were signed at the end of february, at the beginning of march last year, they just ensured that same financial stability, then the economy joined in, which showed recovery growth and a sufficient amount of resources, we are secure and self-sufficient, plus, we must take into account that

fact: that russia was not a debtor, yes, we have a minimal level of public debt compared to even developed countries, not to mention developing, as for loans that increased bank income, the most popular areas were construction, mortgages and, of course , consumer loans, a significant part of the latter for the purchase of a car, this year is a record, the figure significantly exceeds last year’s result, according to analysts’ calculations, the car market is supported under sanctions chinese partners. cooperation with friendly countries generally increases the demand for rubles. the percentage of payments for goods and services in russian currency is increasing. the central bank called these the numbers are a good indicator. the financial infrastructure is improving, ensuring these flows in rubles for foreign economic purposes.

accounts, especially, of course, in the space of, let’s say, partner countries. the end of the year will bring greater stability to the financial market, experts say. but what next? the same banks are unlikely to continue to increase profits at the current pace. the increase in the key rate of the central bank will play a role. will demand for expensive consumer loans cool down? of course, expect that such a situation will be restorative permanently and not possible. to a large extent the restorative factor is now beginning. decline, complicates the situation a little, there is a significant increase in interest rates for central banks, so the prospect for the next 12 months is not as bright as for the previous 12 months, however , we also do not see any dramatic scenarios in terms of the state of the stock market, the state of the banking sector , one of the positive scenarios is that banks will change their focus on lending from consumer loans to

financing... industry and others dynamically developing sectors, while the trend of financial market development will continue. now about the weather , heavy rains do not leave the south of russia; in moscow , the temperature of the water in the radiators is gradually increasing against the backdrop of falling temperatures. in st. petersburg, last night was one of the coldest since the beginning of autumn. we’ll talk more about this with the presenter, fabus center specialist alina katyalevskaya. alina, greetings, tell me, has winter come yet? well, of course i must say that the unseasonably warm weather lasted until the middle of the november, it’s time for winter to somehow show itself, and just for the southern precipitation to manifest cold weather. a full-flowing river dragged the grapevine to sochi today; not all motorists were able to drive, or rather swim, through it without loss today. the situation is the same on some other streets of sochi, closer to the mountains; the rains in the resort city began at one in the morning and have not stopped to this day. oh, another

desperate one at home. our mistress, let 's see if you're in the family, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, 90, come on, the water level in mountain rivers, near the black sea coastline began to rise rapidly, where the water leaves, the situation is also no better, on social networks they post a video of a beginning landslide under one of the houses, meanwhile, in the middle zone, precipitation fell mainly in the form of snow, beautiful white flakes flew today into balashi, domodedovo and other cities of the moscow region, and this is a video of the road between kolomna and lukhovitsy in the southeast of the capital region, where winter showed itself brighter. a temporary snow cover even formed in the lukhovitsa themselves. there is snow on the streets in some places now. well, to the cities in the kaliningrad region, after above-zero temperatures and rains, the first frosts arrived. the moisture that remained on the roadway froze on other surfaces.
