State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of the killed, according to the "Caucasian Knot" article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the killed soldiers. In particular, the widow of one of the killed soldiers said that without a body, the battalion did not make payments for the soldier's death.
