postal workers with guns

[lynne debenedette]

A question related to the recent decision to issue certain of Russia's
postal workers "sluzhebnoe oruzhie" in the form of 9 mm pistols, mace, etc.:
Clearly one of the main reasons behind the decision is Russian pensions,
which are vulnerable to theft. My question is really about the pensions
themselves:  if you're a pensioner, what exactly comes in the mail?
