Russians with Special Merits to Receive Dual Pensions in 2026
In 2026, a select group of Russians will continue to retain the unique privilege of receiving two pensions simultaneously. This right, reserved for those with special merits before the state, will continue to be a limited benefit. The average amount for these dual pension recipients is expected to exceed 22,600 rubles.
The six categories eligible for this privilege include military personnel, civil servants, and participants of the Great Patriotic War. By the end of 2025, the average insurance pension for non-working pensioners is projected to surpass 27,000 rubles. For those eligible for both pensions, the total amount could reach approximately 50,000 rubles.
While the exact number of people in these categories who will continue to benefit from two pensions in 2026 remains uncertain, most Russian pensioners will continue to receive only one type of pension - insurance, social, or state.
