The author considers the basic content of international instruments and the ILO Convention on minimum standards of social security and the need to take them into account in the Russian insurance pension legislation. In Russia, a higher minimum standard insurance for old age pensions is set without sufficient grounds and additional conditions for awarding such pension have been introduced, which will lead to the deprivation of the right to pension for many citizens. The author also assesses a special technique for determining the earnings replacement rate by pension suggested for Russia which does not coincide with the rules defined by the Convention, which leads to its ungrounded overrating.
