MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian engineer Natalia Epikhina bought herself a house with a garden, thinking she was in the home stretch to retirement - but a proposed pension reform means she may have much less time to enjoy it.

The 52-year-old engineer has been among thousands protesting against proposals to raise the retirement age from 60 to 65 for men and from 55 to 63 for women. The reform would be phased in; Epikhina could expect to work to 58.
