The discussion is truly on the universal scope. On April 6, Prime Minister Putin represents it in the State Duma. On the eve of the highest ranks of government and presidential administrations parted through regions, where they held meetings to clarify anti -crisis measures. The prime minister himself discussed the proposed measures with the leaders of parliamentary factions and separately with the leadership of United Russia. On April 9, the program should be finally approved by the Cabinet of Ministers. The main directions are known - assistance to banks, the real sector and the social sphere. To find out how exactly the provisions of the government program are implemented, the New Times correspondents visited the small enterprise in the suburbs (p. 7), found out whether Russian women were ready to give birth to children in the crisis (p. 11), interviewed experts about the future of the country's banking sector (p. 5).
