I wonder what percentage of them actually get paid. I somehow doubt it's all of them.

A part is upfront the rest when you die I guess.

This is what I was thinking, they won't pay out the full amount at least. So they'll keep raising it cause who cares, they're going to be pushing sunflowers up in a few weeks anyways.

They are supposed to pay it out to families of the soldiers. But they skirt around that by simply not retrieving their dead and wounded from the battlegrounds, and marking the soldiers as unknown/missing, thus deferring the payments indefinitely.

There have been multiple reports of wives/widows trying to find out what happened to their husbands, or at least to collect the money, with the military admin stonewalling them.

Is this adjusted to inflation?

This says rubles but I believe this is converted to USD?

It says rubles but the axis is in dollars. Is it a typo or it has been converted?
