Let's punish everyone

The Air Force command immediately responded to the demand of the Minister of Defense to put an end to the practice of bosses extorting part of bonus money from officers. According to Moskovsky Komsomolets, a telegram was sent to the troops from Acting Air Force Commander-in-Chief Viktor Bondarev, demanding the adoption of “anti-corruption measures when implementing additional payments to officers in 2011.”

In particular, it is recommended to “consider the issue of stopping additional payments to officers of the main structural units and military units in full if reliable information is received and confirmed in the prescribed manner... about corruption in a particular military unit.”

It must be said that the acting commander-in-chief has found an extremely effective means of preventing scandals related to extortion. After all, now any officer who dares to complain about extortions will know: he is depriving his comrades of bonus payments.
