State Duma deputies intend to discuss it with the heads of the government's financial bloc before passing a law on the federal budget for the next three years,. Reporting on the receipt of the document in the lower house of parliament, its speaker Vyacheslav Volodin stated the importance of a conversation with the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Anton Siluanov and Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak on the issue of interbudgetary relations. The budget introduced today in the Duma - the last one, which is transmitted to the parliament in paper form - is dozens of huge boxes. The next similar document deputies will receive already in electronic form. On the eve of the Russian government's head, Dmitry Medvedev put an end to the budget discussions in ministries and departments. "Once again, I draw attention to what I repeatedly stressed, and what the president accentuated yesterday:

the budget is the result of our collective work, the discussions have ended, there should not be any departmental lobbyism, everyone is working for an agreed result," Medvedev said.. The result of this work was that the deficit of the federal budget was somewhat reduced in comparison with the original version of the document. In 2018, to cover the costs will have to attract 1.271 trillion rubles (in the first version this figure was 1.332 trillion), in 2019 - 819.1 billion rubles (instead of 867 billion), in 2020 - up to 870 billion rubles (instead of 960 billion) /.
