included in the lists of payments of the beginning of this year. On
behalf of them 105 million AMD pensions and funeral allowances
were paid.

AMD were registered in regional departments. It was obvious that

money giving the rest to the state bureaucrat. In other case, the
pensioner was not paid pension: he/she were dead or were not in the
