.FC to consider 2009-2011 amendments to Fed budget.
MOSCOW, September 29 (Itar-Tass) - The Federation Council (FC) upper
house of the Russian parliament holds an extraordinary session on Tuesday
so as to promptly to consider anti-recession amendments to the Law on
Federal Budget for 2009 and for the 2010-2011 plan period.
The State Duma lower house of parliament passed the respective bill on
Friday. The FC Committee on Budget considered the bill on Monday and
recommended the House to approve it.
The amendments are directed to social protection of the individual
brackets of citizens and additional support for the real and banking
sectors of the economy.
Vice-Premier and Finance Minister Alexei Kudrin explained earlier that
the changes had become possible due to the fact that an additional revenue
to the 2009 budget had turned out to be greater than planned. Besides, a
certain saving had been effected with regard to some expenditure items.
The general amount of expenditure grows by 152,998.2 million roubles.
The budget deficit increases, accordingly, by the same amount to run at up
to 3,131,396.6 million roubles (7.7 percent of GDP).
It is suggested that additional appropriations, amounting to 141,776.6
million roubles, obtained as a result of economising, be channeled, in
particular, into support for the real sector of the economy, social
maintenance of individual brackets of citizens, and budgetary investments,
including those to the regions.

Vladimir Dykhovichny, Ivan graduated from the acting department of the
Shchukin Theatre School and was soon invited by Yuri Lyubimov to the
Taganka Theatre, where he worked for ten years, portraying a lot of
unforgettable characters in the plays of classics and contemporary
dramatists. Over there, he made friends with Vladimir Vysotsky who once
dedicated to him his famous song about "Vitka (Viktor) Korablyov and bosom
friend Vanya Dukhovichny".
Then Ivan acquired a passion for cinematography and made such famous
films as Chyorny Monakh (The Black Monk), Kopeika (copeck), Prorva
(Glutton), Vdokh-Vydokh (inhalation-exhalation), and finally Europe-Asia
(2009) which is still little known to people.
Ivan Dykhovichny is also well-known to millions of television viewers
as the host of many a popular TV programme and the author of several TV
documentaries.
