How does luggage get on the plane? V. Loading luggage and cargo luggage into the carriage before departure for the flight Loading luggage
There are several ways to carry things with you, it all depends on how much you have. If there are not very many, then they are carried as hand luggage. If there is a lot, then you will have to send it as luggage or cargo luggage in accordance with the rules for transporting luggage by rail. All baggage allowances are based on 1 ticket (tickets without a seat for children under 5 years of age are not considered).
On suburban and international trains, baggage transportation rules may differ.
Hand luggage
- Anything up to 36 kg in size (in SV cars - 50 kg) and up to 180 cm in size in the sum of all three dimensions. There is no need to pay for this.
- Plus up to 50 kg per seat - for a fee.
- Plus household, video and audio equipment, which in the sum of three dimensions exceeds 180 cm - for a fee (according to the baggage rate weighing 30 kg, issued at the ticket office with a “baggage in hand” receipt). In general carriages - this is not possible.
- Passengers with children and disabled people can carry with them free of charge a wheelchair, baby stroller, and other equipment necessary to ensure their mobility or for rehabilitation.
That is, you just buy yourself a train ticket as usual and take your things with you. They will need to be placed in places for luggage in the carriage: upper luggage racks, in lockers under the lower racks, etc.
Remember that your belongings should not worsen the travel conditions for other passengers (that is, they should not interfere).
Does not include additional baggage or hand luggage if the child is traveling in the same compartment as an adult. If the child has a ticket with his own seat, it is included.
Sports, tourism and hunting equipment
Bicycles, skis, kayaks and other sports equipment, according to the rules for transporting luggage on long-distance trains, do not need to be checked in as luggage. It can be carried in carry-on bags or placed in other convenient ways. The main thing is that your equipment should not interfere with other passengers, everything should be disassembled, safely packed, and the sum of three dimensions (length + width + height) should not exceed 180 cm.
You must pay for the transportation of sports equipment at the regular ticket office at the station. This can be done at any time as soon as the sale of tickets for your train opens. That is, you can either simultaneously with purchasing a ticket or later. any time before the train departs.
- Skis, ski poles, and snowboards are transported on trains free of charge. No documents are required.
- Kayaks, kayaks and oars (both collapsible and non-collapsible) are paid as follows: for each boat you need a receipt for 30 kg of luggage.
- Bicycles without a motor are charged as 10 kg of luggage.
- Weapons (hunting and sporting) - disassembled, in a case, separately from cartridges. Transported in carry-on baggage areas, paid as 10 kg of baggage.
If you are traveling alone and bringing luggage with you
From October 2014, most of the luggage compartments on railways will cease to operate. Now your luggage is transported in a separate luggage compartment on the same train you are traveling on. There is a luggage compartment in all trains of the Russian Federation (in the headquarters car).
Baggage is checked out in accordance with the approved rules for the transportation of passengers, baggage and cargo luggage on railway transport, as follows. At a regular ticket office, you pay for your luggage and receive a receipt. This can be done either immediately when purchasing a ticket at the box office, or by presenting a printout of the electronic ticket form. Then you check your luggage into the staff car of the train (ask the conductors where it is, you will receive it there), and you go in your own carriage.
- All luggage must be checked in at the same time (and take receipts for it too). For each ticket (including children with a seat provided, that is, from 5 to 10 years old) 3 pieces of baggage are allowed.
- One piece of luggage in the sum of three dimensions should not exceed 180 cm, weight - no more than 75 kg. The total weight of all luggage is no more than 200 kg per passenger.
- Anything that does not fit into the regulations can also be accepted for transportation as baggage, but under special conditions. They need to be discussed separately.
- Each piece of luggage (that is, an item checked in - a sofa, a suitcase, a travel bag) must be carefully packed and equipped with devices for carrying and loading. Especially equipment, objects with glass and mirrors, etc. Remember that the safety of your belongings is your concern. Exceptions are baby strollers and wheelchairs. They may be needed immediately after unloading, so they can be checked into baggage without packaging.
If you are not traveling yourself, but want to send only things
In this case, sending items is registered as cargo luggage. This can be convenient, including if you want to return by plane or send things and travel light for some time. Or you just need to send the cargo to another city. Please check the rules for registering, sending and receiving cargo luggage at the station in your city or by calling the Russian Railways information service by calling 8-800-775-00-00.
You can also send the goods to one of the transport companies operating in your region, or by baggage cars by rail. This is done by the company “FPK-Logistics” (a division of Russian Railways).
What can't be carried on trains
Items that can damage or contaminate the carriage or the belongings of other passengers, as well as smelly, flammable, poisonous, flammable, explosive and other dangerous substances are not allowed to be carried as hand luggage.
Remember! Packing and safety of any luggage is your and only your concern.
Checked baggage rules and regulations
So, let's start with the fact that when determining the checked baggage allowance, airlines use seating system(peace concept), which is that one passenger has the right to carry several pieces of baggage.
One piece of luggage means one bag or one suitcase with a maximum weight 23 or 32 kg. Maximum dimensions of one piece of luggage - 158 or 203 cm the sum of three dimensions (length + height + width) taking into account protruding parts (handles, pockets, wheels).
The exact number of pieces of checked baggage, their weight and size are established by each airline individually, depending on the class of passenger service and the type of air ticket fare.
There are three classes of passenger service: economy, business and first class. Within each class, airlines independently set from one to several types of fares. As a result, the total number of tariffs for each carrier, as a rule, ranges from 4 to 10. It is important to understand that the types of tariffs are not standard for all airlines in the world, but differ in individual conditions. They also differ in baggage allowance.
Free checked baggage allowance
Since airlines do not have a single fare classification, there cannot be a standard free checked baggage allowance. However, all fares from different airlines around the world can be roughly divided into several categories.
Category 1- the most budgetary economy class fare, also known as baggage-free fare. Does not include free checked baggage allowance, but passenger has the option to take (as an additional service).
Under the baggage-free fare, you can only carry hand luggage free of charge. Each airline sets its own name for the baggage-free fare, although it is generally accepted Light(Light). Sometimes Basic is used.
Category 2- standard economy class fares. As a rule, there are always several such tariffs, which is caused by a different number of additional services. As for the free baggage allowance, these rates are no different. All of them provide one piece of luggage weighing no more than 23 kg, but its dimensions can be 158 or 203 cm. In addition to the free allowance, you can take several pieces of paid luggage, more details.
Examples of tariff names of the second category are as follows: Basic, Standard, Flex, Classic.
Category 3- premium economy class fare. Provides one or two pieces of luggage, weighing 23 or 32 kg, the dimensions of which are 158 or 203 cm. You can also take an additional one. Examples of tariff names of the third category: Comfort, Premium.
Category 4- business and first class fares. If an airline offers one fare for business and first class, then in 90% of cases this two pieces of luggage 32 kg each. However, when several tariffs are presented for each of these classes, then the most “modest” of them will provide one piece of 32 kg (or two pieces of 23 kg), and the best - two or three pieces of 32 kg. The dimensions of the luggage remain unchanged - 158 or 203 cm.

How loyalty programs affect baggage allowances
If a passenger is a member of the bonus loyalty program of one of the air carriers, then upon accumulating a certain number of points/miles or receiving gold/platinum status, the airline provides Possibility to bring an additional suitcase at no extra charge. This is convenient and pleasant, so if you plan to fly with one airline quite often, then you should register in the system as quickly as possible and start accumulating bonuses. In addition to baggage allowance, you will be able to get other privileges. Their full list is presented on the airline’s official website.
Weight and size of luggage cannot be combined
Very often, passengers wonder whether it is possible to add baggage when flying together (with friends, family or children). The answer, alas, is negative. Each passenger has the right to carry only the amount of baggage indicated on the ticket. According to the rules, any deviation (in a larger direction) will be considered an excess and will have to be paid additionally. In practice, airline employees can sometimes make an exception if only one parent is flying with a small child, but you shouldn’t count on luck - compliance with baggage rules has recently become more thorough, and even a slight deviation from the norm can be costly for the passenger.
Exceeding the number of free baggage pieces
In official airline terminology, a suitcase or bag that exceeds the free baggage allowance in terms of the number of pieces of baggage is called excess baggage. As a rule, passengers themselves more often call it in colloquial vocabulary additional or paid luggage.
Cost of excess baggage for Russian airlines
| airline | first additional piece of baggage | ||

| flights within the Russian Federation | 2500 rubles | 2500–5000 rubles | 5000–7500 rubles |

Oversized checked baggage
Oversized baggage means any baggage that significantly exceeds the standard size and/or weight. As a rule, we are talking about sports equipment, musical instruments, and wheelchairs. Such baggage is also excess baggage, but may be called differently by different airlines: special, heavy, non-standard or oversized. In most cases, it is paid for, just like excess baggage, the only difference is that the transportation of oversized baggage must be agreed upon in advance (24–36 hours before departure) with the airline by calling the hotline.
Important! There are no generally accepted rules regarding the carriage of oversized baggage. Airlines set them independently, so in each individual case you need to clarify the current rules of your carrier.
Many airlines do exceptions for the most popular categories of oversized sports equipment, which are:
- a set of ski/snowboard equipment;
- set of equipment for surfing / diving.
The exceptions are that such a set can be carried free of charge or in exchange for one standard piece of checked baggage. Sometimes - at a discounted price.
Features of transporting checked baggage on an airplane
Loading luggage
So, let's look at the main problems that your checked luggage may encounter:
What is prohibited from being carried in checked baggage?
- weapon;
- liquefied and compressed gases;
- radioactive materials;
- chemicals and toxic substances;
- poisons and toxic substances;
- corrosive and caustic compounds;
- flammable liquids;
- flammable solids;
- pyrotechnics and fireworks;
- organic peroxides and oxidizing substances;
- explosives, as well as any objects filled with explosives.
For any modern person, 95% of prohibitions are taken for granted. The remaining 5% of prohibitions, which the average passenger is not always aware of, include:
- lighters and matches;
- tobacco and charcoal for hookah;
- children's toys that imitate weapons;
- electronic smoking devices powered by batteries.
Carriage of lithium batteries
As a rule, almost all airlines prohibit the carriage of lithium batteries without the original packaging and portable chargers (power banks), due to the risk of short circuits and subsequent fire. In cases where lithium batteries are inside equipment, transportation rules depend on their power, which is determined by the amount of lithium they contain. There are three categories:
- smartphones, laptops, digital cameras and other devices with a power density of up to 100 Wh (containing no more than two grams of lithium) are allowed to be carried in luggage.
- laptops with extended lifespan, professional audio and video equipment, as well as other equipment with a power density of 100 to 160 Wh (2–8 grams of lithium). To carry it, the passenger must apply for a special permit in advance.
- Segways, hoverboards, hoverboards and other equipment with a power density of more than 160 Wh (8 grams of lithium or more). Carriage is prohibited.
- keys and cash;
- precious metals and products made from them;
- fragile items without proper packaging;
- important documents, securities and bonds;
- glasses and contact lenses without original packaging;
- perishable food products.
What is best to carry in checked baggage?
We want to talk about those things that are better to transport in checked baggage, as it is more convenient, more reliable and will not cause any hassle. In addition, there are a number of goods prohibited from being carried in hand luggage - they Necessarily must be taken in luggage.
- Outerwear and shoes. Not because they are prohibited from being carried in hand luggage, but because it is much more convenient than filling a small bag with bulky items that you can take onto the plane.
- Manicure accessories and sets. Almost all airlines have banned nail scissors, nail files, eyebrow tweezers and any other sharp objects from being carried on board.
- Beverages. All liquids with a volume of more than 100 ml are prohibited from being carried in hand luggage. Pack them properly and put them in your suitcase.
- Gel products and products. For example, black and red caviar, soft cheeses, peanut butter and many other products of similar consistency are considered liquids. They are always removed from hand luggage unless purchased at a Duty Free store.
- Cosmetics and perfumes. Many of these goods are also classified as liquids. This category includes not only perfumes, deodorants and sprays, but even such seemingly “solid” cosmetics as mascara and foundation.
How to choose the right luggage suitcase
The choice of suitcase itself also plays a role during transportation. You can read in detail about how to choose the right suitcase and what their differences are, but for now, briefly about the important things. The main thing that the suitcase complied with the minimum size of the baggage allowance 158 cm and contained 23 kg of weight without bursting at the seams. According to the material of your choice:
- lighter, but not always comfortable canvas material. The lighter the suitcase itself, the more you can put in it;
- heavier but more durable polycarbonate. Such suitcases protect the contents well, but reduce useful weight and volume.
The color scheme is purely a matter of taste, but a bright suitcase is easier to identify. Keep in mind that ideally the suitcase should expand slightly in width in case you need to pack bulky items. Make sure that even when unfolded it does not exceed the carriage limit.
How to pack a suitcase correctly
Try not to overload your suitcase. Make a list of what you really need, without taking into account changing outfits 3-4 times a day. We recommend making a basic list of necessary things once, and with each new flight, supplementing it with those things that are determined by the nature and purpose of a particular flight.
You should never take a full suitcase to your destination, because on the way back there will definitely be new purchases, gifts or souvenirs, often unplanned.
In addition to the fact that you need to pack (usually) a lot of necessary things into your suitcase, you need to do this in such a way as not to damage fragile items, and ideally, not to wrinkle clothes and shoes. Nowadays, there are several good methods on how to properly pack a suitcase, which describe in detail how best to fold things so that they take up a minimum of space while maintaining a “marketable” appearance.
Is it worth wrapping a suitcase with film?
For security purposes, it is highly advisable to wrap your luggage with film before checking it in, which will protect not only from damage, but also from possible theft. Since this service is usually not very cheap (10–12 euros), you can wrap your suitcase with cling film yourself before departure or directly at the airport building.
How to check in and check in luggage at the airport
At the airport, the passenger, along with his luggage, must go through a clearance process called baggage check-in. This action is a simple formality and takes no more than five minutes. During check-in, the airline checks in the baggage and accepts it for transportation under its own responsibility.
There are two ways to check in your baggage:
- at the baggage drop-off desk;
- at the flight check-in counter.
Baggage tag At both counters, baggage check-in is carried out in the same way as follows. The passenger gives his luggage to the employee and shows his boarding pass. The employee checks whether the baggage corresponds to the baggage allowance and registers it in the system, after which, depending on the number of pieces of baggage, prints luggage tags and sticks them on each suitcase. The passenger must receive the same number luggage receipts, which may also be called tear-off baggage tag coupons. They will be required to identify your luggage at the airport of arrival.
Important! Be sure to check that the receipts are correct and that the tags are attached well. If they come off during transportation or flight, your luggage will be lost.
At some major airports you can see such a modern innovation as automatic baggage claim counter(self-service baggage drop-off), which is the fastest way to check in your baggage. However, unfortunately, only the most technically equipped airports in the world are currently equipped with automatic counters.
Declaring the value of luggage
FRAGILE Typically, passengers request the FRAGILE sticker as a precaution when carrying food or exotic fruits. Sometimes it really helps.
Do not forget that when transporting fragile items in a suitcase, you should make sure that they are well packed.
Customs control of checked baggage
Pre-flight registration occurs as follows - first, the passenger, clothes and personal items in their pockets.
For checked baggage the following applies: simplified procedure carrying out customs operations, meaning that customs control of baggage is carried out without presenting it to the customs authority directly by the passenger himself.
The simplified procedure does not eliminate the need to comply with the norms and rules of customs legislation. , the passenger by default declares that there are no goods in his luggage that are subject to customs declaration in writing and/or prohibited for transportation. Confirmation of the passenger's statement is.
How to claim checked baggage upon arrival
Band conveyer
After you get off the plane and go through passport control, you go to the hall where the conveyor belts for baggage claim are located. As a rule, several electronic monitors are also installed in the hall, on which you can see all the relevant information, on which conveyor the baggage of a particular flight will be issued. Above each conveyor belt hangs a board with information about the flight. Find yours, wait for your suitcase, after which you can go to the customs control area and exit.
Damage to luggage
If upon receipt of your suitcase you find that it is damaged, you should immediately contact the airport staff and draw up a special report. If you can prove that the suitcase contained valuables that were damaged during transportation, you can count on compensation for losses. However, in practice this is very difficult to do.
No-show and/or lost baggage
Unfortunately, it also happens that luggage does not end up in the hands of its owner after the flight. This happens rarely, but it does happen. According to statistics, in 2015 there were approximately 6.5 lost suitcases per 1,000 passengers. This is two times less than it was in 2007.
If all the suitcases on the conveyor belt have already been sorted, but yours is still missing, the first thing to do is contact the airport staff and check the “forgotten luggage” in a special room; it could have gotten there either by mistake or if you went through passport control for a long time . If there is no luggage there either, you should write a special report on the airline’s letterhead (in the same way as in the case of damage), in which you should describe in detail both the suitcase itself and its contents. A photograph taken in advance will be useful, as well as “special features” of your suitcase: bright stickers, unusual color, shape and other differences.
As a rule, the absence of luggage at the destination is due to the fact that it was mistakenly loaded onto another plane, which means that after a few days of searching the luggage will be found. In this case, the airline, at its own expense, must deliver the suitcase to the address indicated by the passenger. In 2015, about 85% of lost luggage was returned to passengers by courier service within 36 hours.
If the lost luggage could not be found, then the passenger can claim compensation of up to $20 for each kilogram of weight on international flights, and on domestic flights - no more than 600 rubles (if the suitcase did not have a declared value). The loss report is reviewed within 30 days, after which the passenger receives an official response notifying him of compensation.
Separately, I would like to say that staying in a foreign city without checked luggage, and therefore without most of your own things, is definitely a stressful situation. Therefore, your suitcase should not contain any of the essentials. They should always be taken in hand luggage.

Unloading baggage and cargo luggage from cars delivered to the luggage compartment ramp.
The acceptance officer from the arriving carriage brings documents and passes them along with the delivery list to the shift supervisor, who writes down the arrival time, train number, baggage car number and the name of the acceptance officer in the train arrival book. Baggage and cargo documents are stored by the senior shift acceptance officer until they are submitted for unloading. By the time the car arrives, the shift manager transfers the received documents and delivery list to the acceptance and delivery person. Unloading begins immediately after the car is installed (stopped) on the way to the platform intended for loading and unloading luggage and cargo luggage. Upon completion of unloading, the baggage compartment acceptor signs the delivery lists, one copy of which is handed over to the carriage acceptor, and transportation documents for luggage and cargo luggage to be issued are transferred to the issuance desk, where they are registered in the Book of Arrival and Baggage Claim, indicating the departure station and receipt number , number of seats and weight. The cashier puts a calendar stamp on the cargo and luggage travel manifests and notifies the recipient.
Upon completion of unloading of baggage from the carriages of arriving trains, the shift supervisor gives instructions to one of the cargo and baggage acceptors to begin loading baggage and cargo luggage.
The receiver prepares in advance a selection of transportation documents for luggage and cargo luggage for loading into the car. Acceptance lists are filled out by the acceptance person in advance.
In accordance with the Russian Railways Technical Specifications, the shipper is responsible for the correct placement and fastening of cargo luggage in the wagon, and the correct indication of the weight and type of cargo luggage when sending the wagons.
Cargo luggage and baggage must be placed evenly in the baggage car; displacement of the overall center of gravity of the cargo from the vertical plane in which the transverse axis of the baggage car is located is not allowed.
Differences in the loading of bogies of four-axle cars are not allowed. Cargo luggage and baggage in a baggage car must be stacked from the ends to the space between the doors tightly, without gaps in the transverse and longitudinal directions, so that there is no shifting, falling, piles on the doors, abrasions or damage during transportation.
Gaps that could cause the load to shift should be filled with low-value materials.
When loading luggage or cargo luggage into a baggage car, it must be ensured that the car doors open freely for unloading on both sides, do not allow the car body to skew, leave passages to the signal tail lights and fire extinguishing equipment (TU for loading and securing cargo. Section 3, paragraph No. 2.5) .
Having completed the acceptance of baggage, the car acceptance person signs the acceptance list for baggage and documents.
A copy of the delivery list remains with the acceptance officer in the car, and the original remains with the acceptance officer in the luggage compartment.
After loading is completed, the shift supervisor notifies the station shunting dispatcher that the cars are ready for departure.
Financial liability of a flight attendant is determined: during the period from the acceptance of checked baggage onto the aircraft from the baggage acceptor at the airport of departure until its delivery to the baggage acceptor at the destination airport (unloading) or to another flight attendant when changing the crew against a receipt in the baggage manifest.
Acceptance of baggage on board the aircraft.
Baggage is loaded into the aircraft only in the presence of a flight attendant responsible for commercial loading (when loading baggage in bulk) or an airline representative (at a foreign airport) and under the control of an aviation security officer.
Baggage is delivered on board the aircraft, as a rule, in one batch, after the completion of passenger check-in and registration of the baggage manifest. Delivery of baggage in parts is allowed if there is a large amount of baggage on the flight, in agreement with the authorized officer.
Baggage is loaded after cargo and mail and organized by destination.
Baggage to different destinations must be loaded into different cargo compartments of the aircraft. If baggage for different destinations is loaded into one cargo compartment, it must be stowed separately. Baggage to the last destination is loaded first, to the first destination - last. For each destination, the luggage of economy class passengers is loaded first, then first and business class, bonus program participants, VIP passengers, and lastly - the luggage of transfer passengers.
The number of pieces of loaded baggage must correspond to the number of pieces of checked baggage and indicated in the baggage manifest. If all checked baggage cannot be loaded onto the aircraft due to safety or capacity reasons, a decision is made to load it according to the priority list.
When loading baggage into an aircraft, baggage handlers check the destination codes on baggage tags when loading in bulk (marks on the container label) for compliance with the flight being performed. The flight attendant counts the pieces of loaded baggage.
When loading, you must pay special attention to luggage marked with “FRAGILE” tags. Baggage is loaded in accordance with the loading diagram.
Detected damage to the packaging during loading, as well as a discrepancy between the actual number of pieces of baggage and the number indicated in the baggage list, must be included in the baggage list, which is signed by the flight attendant accepting the baggage, the senior level of loaders who checked in the baggage, as well as the shift supervisor SOP of the airport of departure (stopover) .
When accepting unaccompanied baggage (forwarding), pay attention to the integrity of the seal. If the seal is broken, baggage may not be accepted.
After loading, loaders secure containers and bulk luggage into the aircraft. Upon completion of these operations, the loaders and the flight attendant responsible for the commercial loading of the aircraft formalize the acceptance and transfer of the commercial load. The flight attendant must sign all copies of the baggage manifest for the number of pieces of baggage accepted. One copy of the baggage manifest remains with the senior loader, and the other two are given to the flight attendant.
The flight attendant must be present when the cargo compartments are closed after baggage is loaded into them.
When accepting a passenger with luggage for transportation after check-in has closed (“check-in”), the staff checks his luggage in the usual manner and marks it with a standard tag. The baggage is delivered to the aircraft by the passenger himself and, at the direction of the person responsible for commercial servicing of the aircraft, the baggage is loaded onto the aircraft by a loader with the execution of the relevant documents.
Unloading baggage from the aircraft
Unloading of baggage (in bulk) and containers from the aircraft is carried out by loaders in accordance with the technological schedule for servicing this type of aircraft, as directed by the person responsible for commercial servicing of the aircraft (an airline representative in foreign missions or a representative of the company servicing the airline’s aircraft) in the presence of a flight attendant responsible for commercial servicing.
While unloading baggage in bulk, baggage handlers and flight attendants count the number of seats. During container transportation, it is mandatory to check the presence of seals and labels on containers indicating the number of pieces, weight of luggage and its features. When unloading luggage, handlers must ensure the safety of the packaging and contents of the luggage, paying attention to markings and signs.
When determining the order of baggage unloading from an aircraft, preference is given to transfer baggage transported via interline; behind him, transfer luggage for the company's flights is unloaded, and then luggage arriving at the final destination. The luggage of business class passengers is delivered to the baggage claim area first.
Upon completion of unloading of baggage from the aircraft, the flight attendant responsible for commercial loading draws up transportation documents. The baggage acceptor must sign two copies of the baggage manifest for the accepted number of pieces of baggage. One copy of the baggage manifest remains with the baggage handler, and one is given to the flight attendant
1. “Their Manners”, shock, video. For those who fly frequently, it is better not to watch - you will be disappointed. A passenger filmed the behavior of the Japanese, surprising for wide-eyed people, while loading luggage.
Theresa May remains in the saddle for now, but this does not mean that she will be able to avoid disaster. Apparently, the Europeans are not only determined to ruin Britain during the divorce, but also have every opportunity to realize their bloodthirsty intentions.
3. The blogger expresses satisfaction with the increase in the salaries of deputies. I will quote a fragment from his logical constructions:
...increasing salaries makes it possible, at least theoretically, at least in principle, for a situation where a person who ends up in the State Duma will live on it. This is not exactly an anti-corruption measure, no. This is if the fight against corruption is compared to growing some useful plant, not even planting a seed in the ground. Not even digging up the ground. This is removing stumps, stones and various kinds of snags from the future garden. So that this place could at least in principle be dug up and then sown.If the salary of a federal deputy is 11,163 rubles, then conversations about the fight against corruption need not even begin.
By the way, this happens not only at the very top level. Judges' salaries have been raised very significantly, for example, over the last ten years. Just very strong.
In Saratov, a magistrate now receives about 100 thousand. This is _very_ decent for Saratov. It is quite possible to live on this and live well. If a judge does not want to take bribes, he may well not take them. That is, of course, this is not a sufficient condition. But necessary, it seems to me.Police salaries were raised. I remember last year we were going with Shurik to Nilehorven’s dacha and there was a conversation about bribes to traffic cops. I don’t know anything about this myself - I’m not a driver. And Shurik has been a driver since the early 2000s. And so he tells me - they stopped taking it. “First of all,” he says, “their salaries were raised, and secondly, they began to get bullied for it.” Of course, I don’t really believe that they stopped completely. But, nevertheless, the conversation turned out like this. And the same thing - without increasing salaries, it’s pointless to screw around.
If a judge has a salary of 15 thousand, and a traffic cop has 12 thousand, then exactly at this point the conversation about how they are corrupt can be stopped.
Do you think the blogger is right or wrong? What salary would you set for State Duma deputies, taking into account the fact that they pass laws that we are obliged to comply with?
