Russians were urged to fight hard against the bureaucracy for every fighter
Every serviceman returning from war should feel the support of the state for which he fought.
Russian military correspondent Alexander Kots stated this on the Komsomolskaya Pravda radio, PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“My biggest fear is that now people will start returning from the war and the Afghan and Chechen history will begin, when they don’t hire people because they’re shell-shocked, when they haven’t paid for combat, they didn’t give money for being wounded.
The simplest example is the wild story of doctors in Covid hospitals, to whom Putin gave a bonus, and local officials began to calculate how many seconds he was in the red zone, and only for these seconds they were paid. There are already stories of problems with payments for injuries and daily allowances,” said Kots
He noted that without support from the state, many military personnel may wonder whether they needed this war.
“People will start to deal with this. He comes to his city, he fought, but he doesn’t have a single billboard, not a single “Z” on his cars, but did my neighbors in the house or yard really need this war? They will begin to collide with the iron bureaucratic machine. Where they should, on the contrary, give some kind of benefits, admission or employment, so that there are preferences, they are faced with this instead. This is what I'm afraid of.
When a person arrives and feels abandoned, unclaimed, there will probably be some “organ” who will say that we did not send you there. This is a classic. Here we need tough work with this particular bureaucratic apparatus, so that they understand that the state will stand up for every soldier and officer returning from the war.
There will be a civil society, I have no doubt at all, but still a person must feel that the state is behind him. He shed blood for this state, the state owes him his entire life, he must feel that it owes him,” the military correspondent added.
