The salary level in the budget-funded sphere was being raised at a high rate – which, however, proved to be insufficient to meet the targets set in the President of the Russian Federation's Executive Order of 7 May 2012, No. 597 'On Measures Aimed at the Implementation of Government Social Policy'. The income inequality index over the period January–September 2013 somewhat increased. The poverty level over the first 9 months of 2013 was 0.5 pp. above its level over the corresponding period of 2012, due in the main to the alterations introduced into the methodology applied for estimating the subsistence level. The impact of social transfers on the child poverty level in Russia is low by comparison with that in the European Union.

Growth in public investment rates is overtaking growth in output, thereby causing abnormal growth in prices of defense industry products and upsurge in corruption. Meeting the President’s requirements on creating a transparent military economy, streamlining the governance and pricing in the defense industry complex is still facing major challenges.

The fire occurred three days before the New Year, during welding works as part of unscheduled repairs of the FBMS and where, in breach of safety requirements, the ballistic missiles and torpedoes had not been first unloaded. This compromised not only the crew and workers at shipyard No. 82 in Roslyakovo, but also the whole region and other nearby countries. Following this, and six weeks before the transfer of authority of the Supreme Commander, D. Medvedev had said: "the reform of the Armed Forces is almost complete." However, the sensation planned on the top level has not happened -- public opinion has been almost unanimously set with on continuing the military reforms. New areas of reform which had previously been ignored were put on the agenda as a result of corruption revealed within the senior management of the Defense Ministry, which led to its sudden replacement in November, and this was probably the main news in Russia in 2012.
