OREANDA-NEWS   The situation at the Russian Post cannot be let go, otherwise, against the background of low salaries, employees "will soon run away there," said Valentina Matvienko, Chairman of the Federation Council. This is reported by TASS.

At the meeting, the first deputy head of the Federation Council Committee on Economic Policy, Ivan Abramov, spoke about systemic problems in the company's work, and Matvienko, expressing concern about conditions in rural post offices and those working in small towns and districts, stressed that "this situation cannot be allowed to continue." The head of the Federation Council also said that she had asked Deputy Speaker Vladimir Yakushev to get involved in this topic.

Telegram channels reported in December 2025 that employees of the Russian Post began to quit due to low salaries. At that time, the company denied the mass departure of employees, stating "one of the lowest staff turnover rates in the industry."

The day before, on January 28, Mikhail Volkov, CEO of Russian Post, said that the government was considering options for recapitalizing the state-owned company, designed to reduce its debts, which cost more than 20 billion rubles a year to service. Tom, the manager, noted in this regard that we are talking about money that could be "used to raise wages, repair and modernize our offices, infrastructure, and fixed assets."
