Awards for sale in modern Russian Army
For some people Chechen war in Russia is about serving their country, for some - way to make money.
In Russian Army, if you want just one award or a few - you don't have to do anything heroic, all you need is a bit of cash. Of course, all awards will be given to you officially, with all supporting documents and proper decrees. Here are prices for some awards: Caucasus Service Cross - 250 Rubles (about $8 USD), medals - $20-60, Valor order - $250, Hero of Russia (formerly HSU) - $5,000. If you wish, you can also become an officer - lower ranking officer boards start at $2,000. Here's the link to the article: http://fedpost.ru/russia/issue_14218.html VERY, VERY SAD!!!

If I understand correctly...article gives impression that privileges still exist for holders of Hero of Russia?? - within Russia proper, I guess I assumed most privileges ended with fall of Soviet Union (except I know Putin reinstated some sort of compensation for Cavaliers and HSU recipients)...

Dan,
the article mentions that holders of Hero of Russia are entitled to generous package of privileges, including: - free 2 Bedroom apartment anywhere in Russia, - free car, - excemption from paying utilities, - government pension of 10,000 Rubles (about $150), - 50% break on taxes. Quite nice package, well worth the price of $5000 that they are asking for Hero set! William |
