Is the life of a CTO participant 8 times cheaper than the life of a SVO participant?
A reader drew attention to the difference in lump sum payments for the death of participants in a counter-terrorism operation and a special military operation. NotMoscowHe suggests that after the attack by Ukrainian troops on Kursk region The introduction of the CTO regime was no accident: perhaps it will allow the state to save on payments.
It's too early to say whether this is true or not. But the figures are publicly available, and they do vary.
In particular, it follows from the text of the federal law “On countering terrorism” that in the event of the death of a participant in a counterterrorism operation, members of his family get one-time benefit in the amount of 600 thousand rubles.
At the same time, the relatives of the deceased SVO participant are entitled to a one-time payment of almost 5 million rubles (plus another 3 million - insurance payment).
For an injury that resulted in disability, a participant in a counter-terrorist operation receives 300 thousand rubles., and the SVO participant is from 500 thousand to 1,5 million rubles.
There are also differences in salaries: guess who has the higher one?
