A great amount of federal support has been pledged to Russian rural areas. On Friday, Prime Minister Vladimir Putin spoke of expanding government plans to develop the Russian rural sector. Targeted federal programmes are said to have been extended from 2013 to 2020. There are plans to build more rural roads, support farmers who are starting out and help rural communities to distribute land plots and rural residents to register their ownership of them. In an attempt to prevent any further exodus from rural communities, these government initiatives may lead to an unexpected increase in the number of rural population. The government, however, has yet to calculate the cost of this innovation.
