2 | Recycling and disposalof armaments | 6036 | 0,51 | 0,08 |
3 | Defenseconversion | 250 | 0,02 | |

5 | Funding to housing certificatesconstruction programs as part of the national capital expenditure outlays | 4880 | 0,40 | 0,06 |
It makes sense to discuss some of theaggregated expenditures shown in Table 45.
The overall expenditures of the militaryorganizations comprise more than 22% of the federal budget expendituressuggesting that it may be expedient to get involved with them for thosebusinesses in Russia that look for lucrative contracts, which have also beengetting more stable since 2000. The aggregated military spending outside themilitary organization in Russia is considerably less tangible.
In table 45, item 5 of the nationaldefense, law enforcement and state security spending is significant in thesense that it is indicative of the expenditures level in 2001 (4.47% of theGDP) by comparison with the reference indicator of 5.1% GDP, approved by the RFPresident in 1998. Note that national defense was supposed to get theirУregulatoryФ 3.5% GDP, i.e. significantly more than 2.77% GDP shown in item 1of Table 2. Overall, comparing current expenditures with the standards one seesthat over the period of the defense reform, that is, by 2005, the level of thisspending will hardly be going down.

6 | Amounts of direct and indirect expendituresrelating to the current and past military activities, and all federalexpenditures in Russia on law enforcement and state security. | 417905 | 35,02 | 5,39 |
Note that spending in items 5 and 6 ofTable 45 that exceeds 35% of the federal budget expenditures cannot beclassified as strictly military. Apart from defense spending, it incorporates asignificant amount (88330 million rubles) allocated towards the judiciary,prosecution, police, etc., that hardly any country would>
