What Mironov proposed regarding the 13th pension
The deputy outlined his initiative in an official letter to the head of the Russian government, Mikhail Mishustin.
The letter proposes paying the 13th pension to all recipients of old-age insurance pensions in December.
The payment of the 13th pension will contribute to the restoration of social justice, Mironov said.
According to the deputy, many Russian pensioners live below the poverty line, and the average pension is four times less than the average salary.
