the Vast majority of Russians – 89% – consider themselves patriots. For the past twenty years of monitoring, this value did not fall below 80%. Such data are contained in the poll to the Day of Russia (is at the disposal of “RG”). Sociologists also asked respondents what it means to be a patriot. The answer is interesting. From the point of view of citizens, the patriot is not only one who loves their homeland, but also those who work for the good of their country, striving to change the situation, protect themselves against any accusations and attacks.
That’s why many people support the amendments to the Constitution, which guarantee the respect and the dignity of human labor. We will remind as it sounds, the amendment to article 75: “the Russian Federation respects the work of citizens and safeguard their rights. Government guaranteed a minimum wage of not less than the subsistence minimum”. The logic of this Novella is obvious: for their work man can not receive less than the minimum, which is enough for life.
In the period of the pandemic COVID-19 we all appreciated, how significant the work, and not only physicians but also social workers, volunteers, staff public transport, delivery services, and many other areas. The government on its part is also trying to operate in the logic of the amendments: we may recall the increase in the size of the hospital, and incentives for businesses to maintain employment. At a meeting in may, Vladimir Putin is well explained the decision: “a Key criterion of business support, strategic enterprises was the preservation of employment and wages, incomes of employees.”
to Serve their country, according to the Russians, needs and officials. One of the surveys showed a very high level of support for the amendment on the nationalization of the elite – 84% of Russians consider them important. We are talking about rules that prohibit dual citizenship, residency, accounts and property abroad, parliamentarians, governors, judges, prosecutors, heads of Federal authorities, members of the government and the President.
People obviously don’t need the “loyalties and interests.” The logic is also clear: sovereignty, national priorities and values must not be an empty sound for those who occupy high positions in the state. Only in this case the development – economic growth, improvement of people’s quality of life. So it is unlikely that this is due to the traditionally somewhat biased attitude of citizens to the officials.
Natalia Agapova, Chairman of trade Union of workers of agro-industrial complex of the Russian Federation:
– I am a man of age, before the Day of Russia was very difficult for me holiday, I’m not very supportive of the “parade of sovereignties”. On the other hand, Russia did not exist before your holiday, it is our unity, our history. I really like that in the amendmentx to the Constitution an article that would give Russia the right to decide what she needs: we will work according to international laws, if they do not contradict our laws. A plus sign will affect our life and the prohibition officials to have dual citizenship. I just don’t understand why this is necessary. If you’re an official, you want to grow, want to steer, that is a good word, it is now a repeat – serve his people. Why do we need you to have two passports? I always had a very negative attitude and I am glad that this amendment is in our Constitution.
Oleg Sirota, entrepreneur, Chairman of the Union of cheese makers:
– we Have – my staff, the villagers agree: the amendment, which concerns human labor, decent pay, will allow greatly change the laws. Everything is made in the Constitution on this subject is very important. First and foremost, of course, is that the minimum wage was above the subsistence level. It never happened before, just last year they caught up. It is really unworthy when the working man gets for his work less money than he needed for food, this should not be in our society, we have to eradicate. The amendments relate to the protection of the working man, will make the labour market white, transparent and clear, it will work according to the laws. Now, many laws exist, but the relationship of employer and employee are often in a gray area and it turns out that the rights of always the employer. This is wrong, my village is also worried. We need to bring order here, to come to a civilized society. A big step forward is the amendment of the Constitution, then corrected all Federal laws and regulations, and it certainly will change the entire labor market.
Vyacheslav Bocharov, Deputy Secretary of the Public chamber of the Russian Federation, Hero of Russia:
Russia Day – the holiday of the young, but it cannot be seen from the perspective of three decades, and only from the perspective of the millennial history of our state. There was no such period when you would not have to defend its territorial integrity, its political freedom, its independence. And what we now celebrate this holiday and what we have now in the Constitution introduced standards that the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Russia should not be subject to any change, is very important. But to record the amendment – is only part of the story, each of them will go a great job. It is already underway. Now Goadome considers amendments to the law on education in terms of strengthening the role of education. I think it will also affect higher education institutions, which train teachers. After all, patriotism is based on the example on the knowledge, he needs to be enlightened. I am firmly convinced��.
