After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the issue of dissipation of deposits in Soviet Savings banks is one of the most painful concerned issue for our citizens, if not the most painful. However, the pain is gradually lessening because people are becoming fewer and fewer. The matter refers to eligible and demanding depositors, whose deposits due to natural and unnatural death are gradually vanishing. In other words, there is no man, no problem. And the man, unfortunately, is not immortal. Especially the elderly, and particularly elderly and affected depositors. The National Assembly adopted a law on the deposits dissipated in the Soviet Saving Bank allegedly as a reimbursement. Remembering the ridiculous amount of reimbursed money, we also want to remind you backdated that exclusively the wives and husbands of the depositors were recognized as successors, and the children and grandchildren of the depositors do not have any right to this ridiculous and wee reimbursement. Let’s confess that media and journalists then covered this most important issue possibly less, and, now, it seems that they do not cover it at all. While, the problem continues to exist, and no matter how small the expected reimbursement is, especially after recent rise in gas and everything, people terribly feel the need for even this wee reimbursement. First, the matter, of course, refers to the very elderly, because sixty and seventy years old people do not cherish a hope that their turn will come at all to receive three hundred dollars for their once contributed ten thousand rubles. But, whose turn is it now? Did the war veterans and people with disabilities receive their paltry compensation by the order of priority? Has the turn of elders come? And, if not, when will it come? People are curious and do not know who is eligible to give thorough answers to their questions. It is clear that there will be eligible persons, but many of affected and demanding depositors have even lost their ability to move. Who is going to point out the direction to these thousands of feeble and affected, if not the media and the journalists? We do not have lack of journalists dealing with social media, don’t we? And, some of them are persistent, honest, zealous and consistent. However, the issue of affected depositors is not almost covered in our media, and, I think, it has its “objective” reasons. Perhaps, one of the reasons is that, nevertheless, the topic of affected depositors is not particularly in fashion. The other reason, probably, is that our journalists of new times have not lost deposits in the Soviet Saving Banks, and if their parents had lost, their children, as we said, are not considered as heirs and successors. In fact, everything is done for the deposits not to pass from generation to generation. Everything is accurately calculated. Quite serious and respectable savings at the expense of their own people.
