According to the Russians, the main reason for selling the prizes is a financial problem. They understand that there is no point in keeping them, but they can “give” them a secure future.
The Russians began to actively sell the awards they received from President Vladimir Putin. Journalists of the Russian edition of Lenta.ru found out what their purpose is.
Various awards began to appear on a site popular with Russians, including the construction of the Crimean bridge. Prices start from 10 thousand rubles and sometimes reach a million.
For example, a man from the Krasnodar Territory wants to receive 450 thousand rubles for his prize, and this was due to financial problems. He received the medal for several years of active participation in the construction of a passage across the Kerch Strait in temporarily occupied Crimea.
“It’s simple, you need money, that’s all. Everything is so simple, banal. I want to spend it on health, treatment. I think there are a lot of opinions, only three were favorited. Someone called, he asked, but where did it come from – it was from abroad. Is it for sale? He asked if it was a bargain, he said he would call back and he never called again, “he says in the message.
The second participant in the construction of the Crimean bridge wants to receive 300 thousand rubles for the prize, and this was again due to money problems. In the event of a sale, the Russian plans to close the outstanding debts. They are not searched very often.
“Maybe it’s 500k and it’s worth a million in ten years, I don’t know. It’s memorable, of course it has value as a souvenir, but (sell – ed.)” says the message.
The highest price for a sleep reward website reaches 900 thousand rubles. A man from the Penza region spent three years of his life building a bridge in the occupied Crimea, and now there is no point in holding such a medal when it can bring in big money.
He came to the Russian Federation in 2006, but never managed to earn money on his own property, so he wants to arrange a future for at least a child.
“I know that they sell one for five million in Moscow, three in Nizhny Novgorod, two five hundred in Voronezh. I think there are only 800 in Russia. My goal is to buy a one-room apartment. For a child, at least one after myself. leave anything,” the Russian summed up.
Meanwhile, the man from Tyumen decided to sell his prize, but his aim was to buy a tractor. He estimated the medal from Vladimir Putin at 450 thousand rubles. This is his old dream.
Recall, on August 12, smoke was reported in the area of the Crimean bridge. The Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed the attack and blamed the Ukrainian side for the incident. At the same time, the department noted that the Russian air defense allegedly shot down missiles that were supposed to attack the structure.
