Since the beginning of 2025, more than 28 million rubles have been allocated from the Altai Krai budget as one-time payments to pregnant women, full-time students, and schoolgirls. These payments got 282 young women.
"One hundred thousand rubles isn't the kind of sum one would want to become a mother for. And this measure was introduced to support young women at this age," Natalya Oskina, Minister of Social Protection for the Altai Territory, previously noted, explaining that such payments are a supportive measure aimed at encouraging young families to keep their children and avoid resorting to abortion.
Altai Krai ranks first in payments to pregnant schoolgirls and students among regions with available statistics. Oryol Oblast ranks second, with 94 students receiving assistance (schoolgirls are not yet included in the statistics). The total amount was 9,4 million rubles.
In the Yaroslavl region, 77 students received the payment, costing the budget approximately 7,7 million rubles.
In many other regions (including the Bryansk, Kemerovo, Saratov, Vladimir, and Tver regions, as well as St. Petersburg), similar support measures are already in place, but official data on the number of recipients and total expenditures have not yet been published.
