In Russia, for the first time since the existence of a personal bankruptcy procedure, the number of new foot attacks by citizens decreased. In the third quarter of 2026, 125 thousand of them were registered - 13.1% less than the corresponding period last year. This is a notable change of direction for an indicator that has not previously shown an annual decline. At the same time, the use of another debt settlement tool is increasing. From January to September, the number of reorganization procedures increased 2.4 times and reached 4.6 thousand. Restructuring changes the debt repayment procedure and is not the same as declaring a citizen bankrupt. However, the two numbers cannot be directly compared: bankruptcy data refer only to the third quarter, and restructuring data refer to nine months. The statistics record a simultaneous reduction in new bankruptcies and a sharp increase in restructuring. But this in itself does not prove that the debt burden of the Russians has decreased: first of all, the indicators of the use of legal procedures are changing.
