Krasnodar Mom Revives Toy Business with Government Grant of 350K Rubles
A mother of three in Krasnodar has revived her small business with help from a government scheme. Maria Vasilychenko received 350,000 rubles through Russia's social contract program to buy new machinery for her workshop. Officials say the initiative has become one of the region's most popular forms of support. Vasilychenko's business began with a simple idea: crafting a wooden toy airplane for her eldest child, Vesta. Inspired by the project, she decided to expand into making wooden toys and souvenirs from home. The funds from the social contract covered essential equipment, allowing her to restart production.
The program is part of Russia's 'Family' national project, which Krasnodar Deputy Governor Alexander Rudenko highlighted during a recent announcement. In 2025 alone, over 2,800 social contracts were signed across the region. Governor Veniamin Kondratyev added that 7,700 such contracts, worth a total of 1.8 billion rubles, are planned for 2026.
Beyond small businesses, the scheme may also assist families or individuals running personal subsidiary farms (LPH). Detailed eligibility criteria and application steps are available on the official website. The initiative has already helped entrepreneurs like Vasilychenko turn ideas into sustainable income. With thousands more contracts expected next year, regional authorities aim to expand support for local businesses and farms. The program's growing demand reflects its role in boosting small-scale economic activity.
