postal workers with guns -- pension payments

[Renee Stillings]

I believe something was worked out initially with Sberbank for direct deposit. Not sure if everyone was required to follow that procedure or if other banks can participate finally (Sberbank is often given these priveleges).

My question is really about the pensions themselves:  if
you're a pensioner, what exactly comes in the mail?

--- In 1997, pensions were still hand delivered in cash.
Two people (usually women) with a computer printout made
monthly rounds to be sure you still lived there, were
alive, and got the money in your hand.

Does anyone know if this is still the system?
