The heroine of the well-known clip with Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, when he said the phrase "No money, but you hold on," yearns for Ukraine.

It was the Crimean pensioner Anna Buyanova, with her question about pension indexation, provoked Medvedev's response, which very soon became a meme. A woman who lives on the outskirts of the village Novopokrovka in a squat mud hut was searched by Novaya Gazeta.

"I'm not just on my own (to Medvedev. - Red. ) went. At us in the market people ... collective. I was asked: here comes the prime minister, he needs to say about pensions. Not one has a problem for me, "Bujanova recalled the case.

According to her, she must receive a labor pension, but still receives a social pension.. The situation almost did not change even after a loud question to the Russian premiere.

"They promised. They said that 11 thousand will be. But in the end in April last year they made only an extra charge to the subsistence level. And now instead of 8058 rubles I get 8 500. But this is not indexation, "- said the pensioner.

According to her, she survives only at the expense of her economy.

"To sell, by the way, is also not easy - a whole scheme was invented. First, a deputy from the village council must come to see me, that I really have my garden. Then he compiles an inspection report, with which I go to the head of the village council.

The head of the village council, in the presence of two witnesses, neighbors, checks the act: he asks them whether there really is beet growers on my site, whether there are chickens. And when the witnesses confirm, he gives me a certificate that I can sell, "- complained a woman.

"I must say, with Ukraine it was easier to live. The hryvnia was firm, and the ruble ... was somehow empty, "Boyana said..

She added that the Russian government again promises that the pension will be bigger.
