Support from the state for the families of the killed fighters is not guaranteed by either state awards, memorial plaques, or appearances on "Channel One", according to the material of the "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "No official honors were given to his family. The military enlistment office said that there was supposedly no insurance from 'Sogaz'. Supposedly, they were not insured... No one else responded, including the military prosecutor's office," said a relative of one of them.
