In the land of Putin the Terrrible!
"“Going to the front and being killed a year later is economically more profitable than a man’s further life.”
—Russian economist Vladislav Inozemtsev, who calculated that the family of a 35-year-old Russian soldier killed in battle would receive the equivalent of around $150,000 from his soldier salary and death compensation. That’s more than he would have earned as a civilian until age 60 in some places. These “deathonomics” payments are transforming local economies in some of Russia’s poorest regions."
