In the near future, we intend to determine a list of property that is surplus to the state and reduce the number of federal state unitary enterprises and state institutions that are federally owned. This was announced by the chief of staff of the Russian government, Dmitry Kozak, at a meeting of the board and board of trustees of the Center for the Development of the Information Society. According to him, there are 11 thousand federal state unitary enterprises and 36 thousand federal government institutions owned by the state at the federal level.

Russian Minister of Health and Social Development Mikhail Zurabov spoke at a meeting of the State Duma Committee on Local Self-Government. He noted that the division of powers to provide financial support to beneficiaries between the federal center and the regions does not conflict with the Constitution of Russia. Mr. Zurabov recalled that starting next year it is planned to assign to the subjects of the federation the financing of benefits for labor veterans, repressed citizens and home front workers. According to him, the decision to divide the financing of various categories of benefits between the federal center and the regions since 2005 is a compromise, and indicated that he himself considers it more correct to create a system for financing benefits at the federal level. The minister emphasized that this decision would require additional financial sources. In addition, Mr. Zurabov confirmed for the second time in a week that he would resign if the government fails to reform the benefits system.
