Only a part of the country’s inhabitants could boast of high deductions.
The Soviet authorities closely monitored the standard of living of their citizens. Numerous benefits, free medicine and education – all this was available to all categories of citizens. However, not everyone received pensions for the years of honest work.
As it turned out, the issue of deductions was very acute for residents of remote villages and villages. Peasants who were engaged in agriculture did not receive any pensions. The state for many years helped them only with food, firewood or hay.
This continued until the mid-1960s. Then the party leadership changed its attitude towards this category of citizens and introduced minimum pensions.
So, according to the law, they received only 12 rubles a month, and, for example, a stick of sausage cost a little more than two rubles.
Fees were raised after 10 years. In the 70s, peasants already received 20 rubles, and in the 80s – 50. However, this was still very little money, and urban residents could boast of much larger pensions.
