On February 3, police officers detained five participants in one-man pickets in front of the administration building of the Trans-Baikal Territory in Chita, where at that moment a meeting of the Committee on Social Policy was being held, where the bill on introducing means criteria was once again discussed. The picketers demanded to abandon the adoption in Transbaikalia of the law on the criteria of need for beneficiaries, which, in their opinion, is directed against veterans, large families and professionals living in rural areas. As a result of the adoption of the bill, about three thousand veterans and large families in the Trans-Baikal Territory will lose social benefits.
