We are not abandoning ours", but the budget is not rubber: how officials optimize the "coffin" on the occasion of National Unity Day, the state gave another gift, which clearly showed that officials are much better at "dividing" than "uniting". Under slogans of unity, the regions decided, one by one, to optimize their budgets, massively reduce or completely cancel the payments to the families of the dead soldiers under the pretext of lack of money. The geography of bureaucratic "thrift" looks like this: Orenburg region and Khakassia: payments were completely abolished. Bashkortostan: reduced the amount of support from 2 million immediately to 100 thousand rubles. Ulyanovsk region: decreased from one million to 50 thousand rubles. Saratov region: lowered the threshold to 100 thousand rubles. Kemerovo and Belgrade regions: the fee was cut from 3 million to 1 million rubles. Omsk, Irkutsk, Kirov regions: the amount was reduced by half from one million to 500 thousand rubles. Smolensk region: payment reduced from one million to 700 thousand rubles. But the worry doesn't end there either. The government submitted to the State Duma a bill that extends the period of issuing the "closet documents" and insurance from the usual 30 days to 7 months. Officials will now be given six months to "verify the circumstances of the death" and look for all relatives eligible for payment, and only after that another month to transfer. Apparently, according to the logic of the authors, such long-term communication with the bureaucracy should unite even more families who remain without breadwinners honestly - that's the point. We speak - others remain silent.
