All benefits provided for contract soldiers should also be provided to volunteers, the President of the Russian Federation emphasized at the direct line and the large press conference “Results of the year with Vladimir Putin.”
Meanwhile, in St. Petersburg, as Governor Alexander Beglov noted, additional payments have been established for SVO participants. In the event of injury or disability, military personnel are also entitled to payment, and family members of deceased soldiers are provided with financial assistance.
“We must do whatever is necessary to support our heroes. Including taking care of their families,” Beglov emphasized. In the Northern capital, there are various measures to support the families of SVO participants, including children. They include free meals in schools and colleges, free travel on public transport, benefits when enrolling in educational organizations, exemption from fees for kindergartens and free trips to children’s camps. Each family has a social passport and a social curator.
The city’s clinics accept fighters, including those from other regions, for treatment and rehabilitation. If necessary, they receive help from a psychologist. There is also a medical and educational project – “Territory of Health”.
In addition, special leisure programs for SVO participants have been developed in the Northern capital. The Museum of the History of St. Petersburg, the Museum of the Defense and Siege of Leningrad, the exhibition center “Russia – My History”, and the “Petersburg Concert” will help you adapt to peaceful life.
There is also a branch of the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation in St. Petersburg, whose main task is to support demobilized SVO participants, combat veterans and families of the dead on a “one-stop-shop” basis. Large city enterprises are ready to hire former fighters.
