State Duma deputy Alexey Govyrin said insurance pensions in Russia will be raised twice in 2027, on 1 February and 1 April, in an interview with TASS. Vedomosti reported his account, which covers old-age, disability and survivor pensions. [ 1 , 2 ]
According to Govyrin, the February indexation will apply to both working and non-working recipients and will take into account consumer price growth in 2026. From 1 April the value of the pension point will be increased additionally, while the fixed payment will stay at its February level, he said. [ 2 ]
He also set out further adjustments: working pensioners will have their 2026 contributions counted automatically on 1 August, with the increase limited to three points; social pensions will be raised on 1 April in line with growth in the pensioner subsistence minimum; funded pensions will be adjusted on 1 August; and military pensioners will receive a 4% increase from 1 October. All planned indexations will be carried out without applications, he said. [ 2 ]
TASS, citing Govyrin, reported that recalculations and supplements will go to working pensioners, recipients of social and related state pensions, and military pensioners. [ 1 ]
Neither document states the size of the February or April increases, and neither cites a government decree or law confirming the schedule; the account rests on the deputy's statements as reported by TASS and repeated by Vedomosti. [ 1 , 2 ]
Почему это важно
The schedule sets out when millions of Russian pensioners would see their payments recalculated in 2027, and which categories — working, social, funded and military pensioners — are affected. As reported, the payments would be adjusted automatically, without recipients filing applications. The documents give no figures, so the size of the change to household incomes is not yet clear.
