State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of those killed, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of soldiers, including those from Kuban. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only 12,000 rubles a month for two minor children," the widow of one of the killed volunteers said.
