Russia set to raise retirement age above male life expectancy

I suppose that the average life expectancy is particularly low in Russia because so many alcoholics and drug abusers die particularly young. Men who have steady jobs and retirement plans probably die much older.

"The risk of dying before age 55 for those who said they drank three or more half-litre bottles of vodka a week was a shocking 35%. Overall, a quarter of Russian men die before reaching 55, compared with 7% of men in the UK and about 10% in the United States."

And then the downvotes ...

This sounds like a wise money-saving measure. /s

Men are just cogs for society, to be used up and replaced.
