Rogozin Says Population Goal Should Be 500 Million
THE MOSCOW TIMES[7 - Фрагмент взят из газеты «The Moscow Times» 2012 год]
Federal authorities have for years been pushing measures to encourage population growth, in an attempt to reverse the country’s demographic downturn. But Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin set the bar a whole lot higher Thursday, saying the country’s goal should be a population of 500 million – more than triple its current size. «140 million people – that’s [too] little. The solution is either to complain that we have those Chinese people, or not to point to our neighbor but to have children. Without children Russia will not have a population of 500 million, which we absolutely need,» Rogozin said in a speech to university students in Novosibirsk, RIA-Novosti reported. Rogozin called for measures that authorities have advocated before, including cash incentives to promote large families and assistance to families in securing housing. He also suggested creating new population centers across the country, including one that would help to develop eastern Russia.
«Incentives need to be created for developing the eastern part of the country. First, we have all the necessary resources for this, and secondly, the human ’gulf stream’ washing people away from these regions needs to be stopped,» Rogozin said.

Presidential aide’s car caught using bus lane
THE MOSCOW TIMES[8 - Фрагмент взят из газеты «The Moscow Times» 2012 год]
The shiny BMW of Presidential Aide Arkady Dvorkovich has been caught misbehaving on the roads which led to a collision with a Mercedes in Moscow.
The one of the most prominent figures in President Dmitry Medvedev’s staff admitted his car was driving along a bus lane and is ready to pay the fine. «After the road accident a ticket was issued for a traffic rules violation, which is to be paid,» Dvorkovich wrote in his Twitter. Dvorkovich came out of the accident safe and sound, as well as passengers in the Mercedes, Gazeta.ru reported. The only the two cars suffered in the accident.
Moscow’s road police said the accident happened on Wednesday morning, at 8:45 am on Pyatnitskoye Shosse when Dvorkovich’s vehicle was heading towards the city center with its flashing lights engaged.
«The Mercedes, which was moving in the same direction, was trying to turn left and hit the car,» Gazeta.ru quoted road police’s spokesman as saying. Dvorkovich, however, said nothing about who is going to pay the fine – he himself or his driver. A representative of the Presidential Administration told Gazeta.ru that all penalties are to be paid by the people behind the wheel.
