voter and remote electronic voting. the state automated election system ensures accurate and fast vote counting. elections in russia are important, fair, and convenient. next on our broadcast is the full version of the interview that vladimir putin gave to the host of the vgtrk vesti nedeli program, dmitry kiselyov. vladimirovich, in delivering your message, you figuratively pulled out trillion after trillion from your sleeve, thus proposing a plan for the country’s development. absolutely amazing, this is

a different russia, with a different infrastructure, another social system, well, just a country of dreams, but i just want to ask, ask a trivial question from vysotsky, where is the money, zine, we earned it in general, firstly, it was all curtailed as a result of the painstaking work of the expert community, specialists. the government, the administration, everything fully fits into the budget rules and, in fact , are quite conservative in nature, because some experts believe that there should be more income, which means that larger expenses would need to be planned, because this is for...

a planned period, but of course, when we were all preparing for the message, i say, we were preparing the message, because the whole team is working, we proceeded from the assumption that we would calculate our income and expenses in those areas, which we consider key , priority for 6 years, but still there are literally stunning projects, for example... sochi dzhubaga highway 130 km of which 90 km are tunnels, the rest are probably bridges, so, judging by the landscape, 3 billion ( 15 billion) in the first 3 years only, the route is ideal should be ready in the thirtieth year, that is , in general, how long is this necessary and will it be enough to win? this route is necessary

, because families with children cannot get to sochi by car, everything is somewhere in the gelenzhak region , novorossiysk stops, because the route is very difficult, serpentine, there are several construction options there, so we will literally discuss this in the next few days a few days, or do it until dzhubga, dzhubga, or first do it from dzhubga to sochi, so do it step by step, some members projects are proposed, others believe that everything needs to be done at once, because otherwise there will be a bottleneck - from dzhubga to sochi, and therefore the first part, if you look from novorossiysk, it is more or less decent and the coverage is not bad, but very narrow. and if we do it to sochi as the first

part, then in this, in this small space, there may be traffic jams, which... and now there are enough there, in general, we will determine this with specialists, how, in what stages, but it needs to be done , uh, well, we need to determine, of course, the final cost project, to achieve, to ensure that everyone remains within the framework of these financial plans, well, first of all, the interests of the people, but also the economy, the development of territories in the south of the country, this is very important, but at school we can afford such large-scale investments, which means the country ? is rapidly getting richer, especially in the conditions of the northern military district, in the conditions of almost 15 thousand sanctions, completely wild, and even more so , we set ourselves the task of reducing poverty, including among children with many children

, well, isn’t it too bold, in general, no, here look, we when, if we go back to this road, when i discussed with members of the government, well... as you know, the ministry of finance, he is always like that, in a good sense, he is stingy, he is very conservative in his approach to spending, and then the minister of finance told me, almost verbatim, he says , those who have never driven along it today are against the construction of this road, that is, we need to roll everything, so he’s right, because well, especially for a family with children, as for whether we get rich or not we are getting richer, the economy is growing, this is a fact, and a fact that recorded not by us, but by international organizations, economic, financial, we really became in terms of purchasing power, overtook the federal republic of germany, took its place, fifth place among the largest economies

in the world, e - the german economy decreased by 0, i think 3% for last year, and we grew by 3.6%, japan grew by a small percentage, but if everything develops at the same pace as today, then we have every chance to take the place of japan and become the fourth economy in the world, and in a short period of time, v in the near future, but even here we must say honestly, objectively, there is a difference between the qualities of our economy, in terms of the priority of purchasing power, that is , in terms of volume, we are really now fifth. and there is every chance to take the place of japan, but the structure of the economy of these countries, of course, differs favorably from ours, we still have a lot to do so that not only in terms of purchasing power parity, but per capita, we have a worthy position ,

first, second, so that the structure itself changes, so that it becomes much more efficient, more modern, more innovative, this is what we will work on, but what?

today, our robotization density is 10 robots per 10,000 workers, i think, but we need to have at least 1.0 robots per 10 workers, in my opinion, this is how things stand in japan, that is, so that

they can people work on such new technology, well, not only use robotics, but also other modern means of production, they need to be prepared, another problem arises. this is personnel training, that's it for this, we have entire areas designated , including engineering training, well , you probably noticed that we now have 30 of these...

hiding behind some political or military considerations, this was the case in the aircraft industry, and so in many other industries is happening, well, we live in the world that exists, and we have adapted to it, we understand who we are dealing with , and so far, this can be seen from the results of our work, we are acting quite effectively, but the insidiousness of the west with sanctions not is exhausted, here is a direct quote from your appeal: the west is trying to drag us into a new

arms race in order to wear us down and repeat the trick that they succeeded in the eighties of the ussr. how is it here, how large is the margin of safety we have here in the face of an explosion of weapons, in fact? here we need to ensure that for every ruble invested in the defense industry, we get the maximum return. indeed , during the soviet era, no one counted these expenses; no one, unfortunately, was chasing efficiency, defense spending accounted for about 13% of the gdp of the country of the soviet union. but, i will not refer to our statistics, we will refer to the stockholm institute, last year our defense spending was 4%, this year it is 6.8%, that is, we have grown by...

the fact is that they have a lot of money they spend on maintenance, and not only on wages, but on maintenance, on the maintenance of bases all over the world, and then everything goes into a black hole, nothing can be counted there, that’s where the main cut takes place, albeit in the production of weapons and weapons , in general, there money is also spent that is difficult. it’s difficult to estimate, but if you count how much it cost, how much it cost us, how much it cost

them, say , a well-known missile defense system, and one of the main components of overcoming the advance guard on our side, an intercontinental, intercontinental missile, a glide unit intercontinental range.

you said that the distribution of tax time should become more fair in russia and suggested that the government think in what direction to think? well you know indeed, the distribution of this tax time, it must have been fair in the sense that it goes to the general treasury, which is called a decision. general national tasks and , above all, to solve problems of fighting poverty, there should still be more separation between corporations, legal entities and individuals who earn more, if we say, a progressive tax, well, yes, essentially a progressive tax, i didn’t want to go into detail now i would like to go into this, we need to work on this, and thus we need

to build this system so that it indeed... gave a great return for solving, first of all, social issues of the tasks facing the state in this area, well, we are planning to reduce the tax burden there, for example for large families, a number of other steps to take in this direction, it seems to me that society will accept this absolutely normal, first, second, what the business itself is asking from us, they are asking that... we decide on the taxation system, but do not touch it anymore, so that it is stable, this is the most important request and demands from us business, this is what the government should do in the very near future , together with deputies of the state duma, present a proposal, which means a progressive tax, we won’t scare anyone away, we used to be all the time afraid of scaring someone off with this progressive

tax, no, i don’t think, in our in principle, this system is established, even those who were ardent, after the elections, after the votes were counted, it seems to me that now this is simply incorrect, but in general the government works, as we see, the results are obvious, they are objective the data works quite satisfactorily, you mentioned the reduction in tax time for large families, children in general and

the demographic situation, eh? these topics were very voluminous in your address, indeed the question is quite painful, because demographically russia is melting, and last year became an anti-record year in terms of birth rates, and as you know, now there is, in my opinion, one birth rate of one in 1:31, but probably we would ideally need to double it, probably three, because this is literally a disaster for society, however

however, you proposed a fairly large-scale program to support motherhood. and such demographic stimulation , there is confidence that these measures will change the trajectory from downward to upward, well, in general, based on all the measures to support families with children, then over the next six years we plan to spend, well, through various channels, up to 14 trillion rubles . this is a lot of money, and there are a lot of areas of support for families with children, starting with general social ones, construction or renovation. kindergartens, construction of new schools, renovation of new schools, renovation of old schools, ghosts, order in accordance with the requirements

of today, support for women from pregnancy to the age of 17 years of the child, because we have almost 400,000 women now receiving benefits, this is almost every third woman who is expecting a child, and 10 over a million children receive benefits, uh. this is such a serious, serious thing, we continued, continued - the system of issuing secured capital, maternity capital, we continued payments, well, now we are making a decision of 450 thousand rubles per family, if a third child appears there, to pay off the mortgage loan, we have retained mortgage loan benefits for - for families with children, in general there is a whole range of things in very different areas in order to support families, and of course, you have already mentioned this, in this and

the fight against poverty, because, because , of course, of course, it is much more difficult for families with children than for those families with no children, this is understandable, the costs here are large, but nevertheless... tenths - this is according to the latest percentage data , but this is also 13.5 million people, of course, very a lot, of course, everything needs to be done to reduce it to at least 7%, and for

large families there is a more modest figure, but it should also be increased, but what do we proceed from when we talk about problems with the birth rate, well, i already i’ve said this many times, and experts say this, these are objective things, namely... we had two very large declines in the birth rate during the great patriotic war of 1943-4, a comparable decline was immediately after the collapse of the soviet union, just one on one, the same decline in the birth rate, it’s clear why the system collapsed social support, no matter how weak it was in the ussr, if you can talk about it, it was still there, and after the collapse of the soviet union it also... disappeared almost completely, well, complete poverty began there, well, what can i tell you , now there is not even a need, in any case , the horizon for family planning in these years has decreased and

the birth rate fell to before the war, before the war years, then we had a rise and now we have a fairly large number of children, young people who, in a few years will enter adulthood and... native age and we very much believe that our indicators will increase. what you said is a global trend. there are only a few countries, such as developed economies, that show positive demographic dynamics. in all other countries everything is going negative. this is a complex problem related to the economy and the life priorities of women. here. now it’s better not to go there, let the demographers try and tell us and suggest solutions to us, but you know what still puts us in

a positive mood, the mood in our society 70% of men and 72% of women want to have two or more children, yes, and the state should support them, this is a whole big set, a whole whole set. literally into a burning house on the second floor, and then they remembered that there was money there somewhere else, but the money burned up in the fire,

this... using this experience, other modern developments, we still have to count on that we will achieve the goals that we set for ourselves, and

we will make adjustments as events develop.

consistency in this work, well, immigrants, if we talk about migrant workers, we don’t have so many, compared to other countries, they make up 3.7% of the total number of workers, but they are concentrated in those regions where economic life is more active, and there are of course an order of magnitude of them more, this is the moscow region, moscow, the northwestern region, some regions.

our entrepreneurs must understand that the situation for them in terms of labor availability will not change for the better in the coming years; they will face a labor shortage, which means that in order solve this problem radically, now i return to what we have already talked about, we need to increase labor productivity and reduce the number of employees.

first of all, of course, we need to talk about the repatriation of our compatriots, what repatriation is and what compatriots are is already reflected in our regulatory framework, there is no need to repeat here, here we need to talk about attracting people who may not be going to resettle to the russian federation, but due to their qualifications, in the strength of your talents,
