State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, states the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how authorities deprive families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "I receive only 12 thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," said, in particular, the widow of one of the killed.
