Grigory Pasko: In the Kingdom of Military Bureaucratism
Without a paper you – are a bug, but with a paper – a person*
Grigory Pasko, journalist
The Strasbourg court asked me to send them a document in supplement to my application – a document about how I had received a pension in the department of social security of the Moscow military commissariat.
The fact is that I truly had received a pension:from July 2003 through March of the year 2004.The pension for length-of-service (I’ve got service in the Armed Forces of the USSR and Russia – 27 years) comprised somewhere around 100 dollars per month (as recalculated into foreign currency).After discharge from service this pension was accrued and for a period of time was paid out.After the decreeing of the verdict about how I – was а«Japanese spy», they still continued to pay out the pension for a certain time, and then all of a sudden (by verbal indication of the FSB – that’s what they told me at the military commissariat) – stopped paying it.
