⚫🔴 Syrian Social Nationalist Party:
—
With the highest expressions of congratulations and blessings, the Syrian Social Nationalist Party extends its gratitude to the Iranian leadership, the Revolutionary Guard, and the Iranian people for the significant military operation conducted by Iran against the occupation entity. This operation proves that Iran is a partner to the nation in the project of liberating Palestine.

The operation has simply demonstrated that the combined military effort, believing in the right to liberate the land, is now capable of acting as it should, and that the matter of the demise of the entity is an undeniable reality.

"The type of person created by the Soviet educational system, then, is an intolerable type from the standpoint of any private employer. Such people, to use a common term, "would simply make a revolution." And that is why, only in the U.S.S.R., and after the Revolution, an educational system has been developed which creates such people. For, in the U.S.S.R., the new system of production, where the power of the private employer has been first restricted, and then finally eliminated altogether, requires a type of citizen altogether different from the wage-earner of capitalist society.

This new type of citizen can only be understood when we know how he lives, and the conditions under which he works. Therefore, from the Soviet educational institutions let us now go with our young citizen to his first job, whether in a State institution or in a cooperative organization. We shall then see that the education of the Soviet school is a preparation for responsible citizenship in Soviet society."

On April 15th 1929, the Soviet Union introduced Old-Age State Pension

The resolution of the Council of People's Commissars concerned representatives of blue-collar professions and stated:

“The right to a pension has:
a) Men who have reached 60 years of age by the day they leave work for hire, if they have worked for hire for a total of at least 25 years

b) Women who have reached the age of 55 by the day they leave employment, if they have worked as an employee for a total of at least 20 years.

Persons employed in underground work in the mining industry are ennoscriptd to a pension if they have reached the age of 50 by the day they leave employment and have worked as an employee for a total of at least 20 years.”

The pension amount was equal to half of previous earnings.

By the end of the year, more than a million workers began to receive old-age pensions based on the new rules.
