Stratification.


This is coolbert:

Finally and concluding a series of blog entries the topics courtesy "The Barents Observer".

Hardly do I think this is going to make friends and influence people. Rather the opposite I might reason.

"Murmansk gives more benefits to students and school children of soldiers fighting in Ukraine"

"Social stratification is growing between children of fathers fighting Russia’s war on Ukraine and those who not. Free meals, free vacation, free dormitory and free commuting transport for students are some of the new benefits presented by the war-focused Murmansk Governor Andrey Chibis."

Article by Thomas Nilsen | March 14, 2023.

"It was on Monday the new benefits were approved by the regional government, Governor Chibis writes on his VKontakte page."

“'All college students from families of Special Military Operation [participants] will be provided with free meals,' according to Chibis. That includes all federal educational institutions in the Murmansk region.

"Pupils in municipal schools were divided already from the start of school-year on September 1. Two free hot meals to those with fathers killed, injured or still fighting, and no such benefits to those with parents not taking part in the war. At the time, the Barents Observer reported that at least 1,274 Murmansk kids had the rights to receive such benefits."

Perhaps this Andrey understands enthusiasm for the Ukraine Conflict among those Russian citizens of the Arctic far north is waning? Perhaps some remedial measures as taken will mollify the public?

Groupings of persons into have and have not rather may exacerbate already existing tensions? I cannot say with certainty.
