And this is how everything will happen next. At least 30 laws must be written and approved by the State Duma to fulfill the tasks set by Vladimir Putin. The work schedule will appear until March 22. The first decisions are already being made by the executive branch at all levels.
The goals have been set, but first a plan needs to be developed. Equally ambitious and at the same time realistic, which will allow us to achieve the goals that the president spoke about. The general outlines of this plan remain to be determined. Russian government, Dmitry Medvedev spoke about this at a meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers, which was convened immediately after the announcement of the message. And the first concrete instructions were made there.
“Let's start with improving road safety; I approved a safety strategy for 7 years until 2024. Today we will consider a bill that is aimed at strengthening administrative liability for offenses on railway crossings. This is one of the elements of new changes in traffic rules. Another question concerns the development Far East“, we are introducing changes to the legislation that will make it possible to expand the territory of the free port of Vladivostok,” the Prime Minister said.
Investments in infrastructure are just one of the key initiatives voiced in the President's address. In addition, it is necessary to achieve an increase in life expectancy, overcome the threshold of eighty years, and ensure the development of entrepreneurship and competition. Increased labor productivity, development of education and attraction of highly qualified specialists to all sectors of the economy, reduction of poverty. Initiatives that will require significant financial investment. And the task of the ministers of the economic bloc is to provide the necessary resources for the path that the president has outlined.
“The key thing was one word, which he repeated several times, it was “breakthrough.” This is a breakthrough in the economy, a breakthrough in the power component, a breakthrough in approaches in general, to change, and, therefore, priorities, and the achievement of the main goal - new, high rates of economic growth, on the basis of which the well-being of our citizens will increase,” said Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.
“This story of increasing life expectancy to 80 years is not just healthcare, it is a whole range of measures. And the development of the urban environment, and the reduction of road accidents, and the environment. All these stories, they intertwine and create the basis for achieving more high level. But countries with such a standard of living have a different quality of life, a different quality of economy,” noted Minister of Economic Development Maxim Oreshkin.
But even the most harmonious plans, as experience shows, often encounter many small obstacles. It is no coincidence that in Russia they say: “it was smooth on paper...”. Unexpected ravines can only be avoided by working closely with those who are familiar with the situation on the ground. It is no coincidence that in his message the president separately addressed both regional heads and city mayors. Not a single house or street should escape their attention.
“For Moscow, it is extremely consonant with what the president said in the field of education, healthcare, development of public spaces, and transport infrastructure. Issues of safety, health, childhood, maternity support. We will once again rethink our programs, the city’s development strategy and do so in order to synchronize the goals and objectives that we set for ourselves with the goals and objectives that the president set for us today,” said the mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin.
“We set one of the main strategic tasks of the Moscow region - the improvement of cities so that they are safe and cozy. So that everyone, both schoolchildren and adults, can walk both morning and evening without looking back. We are allocating a lot of money for the “Bright City” program, for equipping with security cameras, so that the entire system works efficiently and smoothly,” said Andrei Vorobyov, Governor of the Moscow Region.
If in the capital and some major cities are already ready to begin fulfilling the tasks set by the president - there is money here - then for many regions financial issues remain the main problem. And the budget support promised by the head of state will come in handy in order to implement plans that were previously often postponed until better times.
“Of course, it was very gratifying to hear that there will be additional federal money that will go to the necessary infrastructure, the creation of the necessary comfortable environment, and of course this is healthcare, this is education,” said the governor of the Tula region, Alexey Dyumin.
“Many of the questions that bother me today in a new place, I received answers, I was confirmed in what we had talked about before, and when he set me a task before starting work in Dagestan. So this gives us confidence that we will succeed,” said the acting director. Head of the Republic of Dagestan Vladimir Vasiliev.
Confidence in the future is, perhaps, something that is absolutely important for any person. Workers, military, doctors, teachers. Entrepreneurs are on a par with them today. The president’s demand to protect them from excessive administrative pressure is all the more necessary since the implementation of many of the tasks mentioned in the message depends on private business. For example, an increase in construction volumes to 120 million square meters. And here it is necessary to combine the efforts of both the builders themselves and the banking community.
“Seriously, this is impossible without the support of both supply and demand, and the second task, which is integrally related to the volume of commissioning, is the mortgage rate, the president sets the task of reducing it to 7-8%. And these tasks are ambitious, but quite realistic, and we will work on them,” said Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services Mikhail Men.
“Expanding lending without lowering rates is impossible, so I think that in the coming years we will see this, a trend, it is already underway, rates are falling, the president said this today that the mortgage rate has dropped below 10%, this really happened, and mortgages themselves have grown to a million loans per year, so this trend will definitely be consolidated this year,” said Andrey Kostin, President and Chairman of the Board of VTB Bank.
The President has repeatedly returned to the fact that the main hopes for the future are connected, first of all, with people and caring for them. Uneducated and sick people, by definition, are unable to make economic breakthroughs. Domestic medicine, which has received considerable support in last years, already today is able to effectively fight the same oncology. The task set by the president. Methods developed in recent years have proven their effectiveness. Now all that remains is to spread the existing developments throughout the country.
“We already have all the main sprouts. Our task is to speed them up and replicate them so that an unlimited number of people have access to these methods, so that within the framework of cancer screening we can, as it were, foresee this danger for any person, no matter where he lives in our country,” the minister said health care Veronica Skvortsova.
Digital technologies to help doctors. They, according to the president, can and should be used to ensure equal access to education. Following the message, the Agency for Strategic Initiatives announced that they would accelerate the creation national university, where you can come to classes from any computer, from anywhere, even settlement countries.

The President outlined, among other things, the protection of family and childhood as a priority for this year. Kursk politicians did not wait for instructions from above. The region already has laws on payments for the 2nd and subsequent children (2 and 3 thousand rubles, respectively), protection of support for adoptive families, and a program to improve the demographic situation.

In his thirteenth message to the Federal Assembly, Vladimir Putin emphasized the clearly formulated request of Russian society to the authorities for justice, respect for people and support for civil initiatives. The implementation of these principles requires specific measures, and the President elaborated on each of them.
Vladimir Putin immediately outlined the main topics of the message - economics, social issues and domestic policy. ABOUT foreign policy the President succinctly mentioned at the very end of his speech.
“The future of the country depends only on us, on the work and talent of all our citizens, on their responsibility and success. And we will definitely achieve the goals set before us, solve the problems of today and tomorrow.”
The president began with a seemingly abstract topic, which, nevertheless, set the tone for all the other theses he expressed:
“Any injustice or untruth is perceived very sharply. This is generally a feature of our culture. Society resolutely rejects arrogance, rudeness, arrogance and selfishness, no matter who all this comes from, and increasingly values such qualities as responsibility, high morality, concern for public interests, willingness to hear others and respect their opinions.”
Based on these principles – justice, respect and willingness to listen to others, the head of state called on those gathered to build the country’s policy and interact with citizens.
Traditionally, the president quickly moved from the general to the specific, and his speech, which this time lasted 68 minutes, can be divided into the following theses, on the basis of which the political, economic and social development of Russia for the coming year will be built.
1.Increasing role State Duma and strengthening of legislative power, as well as the development of institutions of direct democracy.
2.Putin stressed that United Russia, the party he created and supported, has a constitutional majority this time and “is the main support of the government in parliament.” It is significant that many of the theses later voiced by the president previously appeared as promises in the election program of United Russia. It is unlikely that everyone who voted for the party on September 19 carefully read this voluminous document, but in fact the goals and objectives stated by the president are the fulfillment of the orders of that part of the citizens, on the basis of whose wishes the program of the party in power was drawn up. Free thinking and inadmissibility of censorship based on respect for other people's opinions.
The President addressed both parts of society - the “creators” who believe that there are no boundaries for self-expression, and the “guardians” who for some reason are sure that their strict artistic taste can serve as an excuse for destroying works of art or disrupting performances. On the one hand, “this does not mean that by juggling with beautiful words and hiding behind discussions about freedom, someone can offend the feelings of other people and national traditions
" On the other hand, the president considers “a counter aggressive reaction unacceptable, especially if it results in vandalism and violation of the law. The state will react harshly to such facts.” And once again - for those who did not understand the first time: “And in culture, and in politics, in the media, and in public life, in polemics on no one can prohibit free thinking and openly expressing one’s position.”
3.The anniversary of revolutions is a reason for unification, not division. People all over the world love beautiful dates, and Russia is no exception. Collapse Russian Empire was caused by a combination of many external and internal factors, but any revolution occurs when one part of society ceases to hear the other, and the government is unable to achieve their reconciliation or, worse, itself remains extremely far from the current agenda.Therefore, as the president noted, “it is unacceptable to drag splits, anger, grievances and bitterness of the past into our lives today, in our own political and other interests to speculate on the tragedies that affected almost every family in Russia, no matter what side of the barricades our ancestors found themselves on then.” " “Let’s remember, we are one people, we are one people, and we have one Russia,” he emphasized.
Any historical discussion should be conducted on the basis of this axiom; attempts to “finish the war” and impose one’s opinion on the events of a hundred years ago as the only correct one are unacceptable.
4.Saving the nation. These are primarily fertility and medicine. If everything is more or less good with our birth rate, the figures are higher than the European average, and infant mortality is steadily decreasing, then with medicine in general it is not so good yet. Putin focused on one important achievement - the number of people who received high-tech medical care has increased 15 times over 11 years - from 60,000 people to 900,000. But problems remain in primary care - a lack of qualified specialists, queues, insufficient information technology. To solve these problems, specific actions will be taken, in particular, regular retraining and connecting all hospitals and clinics to high-speed Internet, which will allow for more active development of telemedicine. Minister of Communications Nikolai Nikiforov was named personally responsible for the internetization of medicine.
5.High-quality secondary education. This topic, like the previous one, was actively studied during the campaign for the State Duma, so the president dwelled on it in detail. Elimination of the third and then second shifts, the development of children's technology parks, the formation of support centers for gifted students in the regions, as well as extracurricular projects in the theater, cinema, television, museums and the Internet. The main tasks of schools and teachers are to “give knowledge and educate moral person”, the fundamental principle is “every child and teenager is gifted, revealing his talents is our task.” That is, respect should extend not only to adults, but also to children.
6."Atmosphere of common affairs." Perhaps never before has a head of state paid so much attention to volunteering and non-profit organizations in his address. Federal and regional authorities are tasked not only with not interfering with civil initiatives, but with supporting them. “I want both governors and municipal authorities to hear me. “I ask you, as they say, not to be greedy, not to give preference exclusively to state-owned structures out of habit, out of practice, but to involve non-profit organizations in the execution of social services to the maximum,” the president addressed the officials. Already at the beginning of next year it will become clear whether they heard, or, as in the case of “academic officials,” they were incomprehensible. But support for civil initiatives by the president personally is a serious argument for NGO workers when communicating with officials different levels. It will be more difficult to “brush it off.”
7.Improvement for the sake of people, not for the sake of improvement. Speaking on this topic, the president mentioned the ONF for the first time in his speech, calling on “front-line soldiers” to organize “effective control, and with its help, achieve concrete results” in the course of disbursing 20 billion rubles, which will be sent to the regions for improvement. The President also called on both the ONF and civil society as a whole to join in solving “such problems as improving environmental legislation, preserving rare species of animals and plants, and creating a humane system for treating stray animals.” Declared the Year of Ecology, 2017 should not be a formal event, but an opportunity to make our cities and towns more comfortable for life - to eliminate landfills, tidy up rivers and lakes.
“Anniversary of revolutions is a reason for unification, not division”
In the same block, Putin spoke about large-scale plans to modernize the road network outside Moscow and St. Petersburg - “in two years, at least half of the roads here should be put in order.”
8.Economy – from sustainability to growth. The president dwelled on what allowed the country to survive the current crisis with minimal losses - and what could become drivers of growth - in particular detail, with numbers and details. To put it as briefly as possible, against the backdrop of the constant howls of the opposition “everything is lost, boss,” a powerful agro-industrial complex was created in the country, the income from the export of its products last year exceeded the income from the arms trade, as well as the IT sector. The agro-industrial complex brought in 16.2 billion dollars on the foreign market, the defense industry - 14.5 billion, information Technology– 7 billion
Development will go in the same direction - credit support for farmers, benefits on insurance premiums for IT companies, an increase in the number of civilian products produced by the defense industry.
The tax system will remain unchanged until the end of 2018, and on January 1, 2019, a new one will go into effect, which should also remain unchanged for many years.
Unscrupulous law enforcement officers will not be allowed to “make a nightmare of business.” Regional banks should be allowed to approach the assessment of small business borrowers less strictly. Also, the state should, accusing them of “illegal business” is unacceptable, the president believes.
9. " The fight against corruption is not a show.” Traditionally noting that the majority of civil servants are honest people, and “neither position, nor high connections, nor past merits can be a cover for dishonest government officials,” Putin criticized investigators who raise “information noise around so-called high-profile cases.” . The President recalled the presumption of innocence and noted that the fight against corruption will only receive public support when it is professional, serious and responsible. That is, again we are talking about respect for people, preventing a serious topic from turning into a farce.
10.Science and high tech- national security issue. The President also dwelled on this topic in detail. He outlined the main problem, which has remained unchanged for more than a hundred years - “to transform research foundations into successful commercial products.” “By the way, we have always suffered from this; a huge amount of time passes from development to implementation,” the president noted. In order to reverse this trend, a wide range of measures has been developed: this includes support for education - engineering, technical and IT, financial support for scientific research, including from VEB, the allocation of grants designed for seven years of work, the creation of laboratories, the return of those who left scientists abroad. The task is formulated quite clearly and unambiguously: “It is necessary to focus on areas where the powerful technological potential of the future is accumulating, and these are digital and other so-called end-to-end technologies that today determine the appearance of all spheres of life. Countries that can generate them will have a long-term advantage, the opportunity to receive enormous technological rent. Those who do not do this will find themselves in a dependent, vulnerable position.”
All these priorities are included in the “Strategy for Scientific and Technological Development of Russia”. The decree approving it was signed.
11.“Security and the opportunity for development are not for a select few, but for all countries and peoples.” Foreign policy became the final topic the president addressed. Here, too, everything is quite clear and unambiguous. Russia has been and remains a peace-loving power, interested in partnership with all countries of the world. As an example, the head of state cited Russian-Chinese cooperation, which is “an example of world order relations built not on the idea of dominance of one country, no matter how strong it may be, but on harmonious consideration of the interests of all states.”
Putin emphasized the inadmissibility of censorship in the global information space, the unacceptability of the concept of “exceptionalism” of any country, and also called on the new US administration to fight “a real, not fictitious threat - international terrorism” and warned that “attempts to break strategic parity are extremely dangerous and can lead to a global catastrophe."
The head of state also expressed gratitude to those who are fighting terrorism, both outside and inside Russia.
At the end of the message, the president especially noted that during the crisis, “we did not delve into any trifles of the current day, we did not deal only with the problems of survival, we thought about the development agenda and ensured it - and today it is this agenda that is becoming the main one, coming to the fore "
“The future of the country depends only on us, on the work and talent of all our citizens, on their responsibility and success. And we will definitely achieve the goals set before us, solve the problems of today and tomorrow,” these words concluded Vladimir Putin’s thirteenth presidential message, which is also the first for the new State Duma.
