        You say that like the military would see a single red ruble of that payment rather than it going straight into the commander’s rainy day fund. He had to go and get Conscriptovich killed in the first place, that’s hard work and deserves compensation.

          I like you! I love the image of a russian official hiding away a dying currency in their mattress, “just in case”.

      They are charging half a year’s income, by the way. Not just “charging money”, but charging so much that no one can afford it without becoming homeless.
