Abstract: The research objective is the analysis of history of development of the program of support of lower-income strata of Russia, generalization of results of sociological polls of the population and experience of implementation of regional pilot projects. During the research it is proved that the Russian government subordinates the solution of the problems providing implementation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation as the social state, an environment of external and internal actors of policy. As a result of the agrarian sector of the economy, and therefore the Russians have become hostages of the agrarian revolution of 1990-ies. Put the country on "food in the needle" 1990-ies, the Government had adopted a number of decisions, which allowed to ramp up production of farm products, but is unable to ensure its accessibility to a large part of the population because of its low purchasing power and non commercial networks cooperate with domestic manufacturers on conditions acceptable to the past the era. To do this would be through food assistance to low-income citizens of Russia. But a half dozen years the idea of introduction of ration cards was actually used as a stick in the run-up to the elections. The Government is currently considering two options: targeted assistance through monthly listing a certain amount on the electronic card and opening soup kitchens. Materials of sociological researches testify to the positive attitude of the majority to the monetary and product assistance. Adoption of grocery cards demands serious legislative providing, justification of a number of fundamental issues by determination of criterion of a threshold of needs, the list of the federal and regional programs replaced by this project, identification of really needing citizens, the solution of the arising psychological problems.
