History 23/03/20 how “devalued” the exploits of the red army after the currency reform of 1947
After 1947, the money received by the relatives during the war from sons, brothers and fathers, “burned” – partially or completely. Just a year after the currency reform, ceased to pay the soldiers that the feats received orders and medals.
All in the family
Traditionally, the military was in full gosobespechenii, so we get “salary”, including during world war II, soldiers and officers sent home. Relatives were given speciestypical, which then was paid “real” money in the local military. Most families spend everything immediately – and no wonder. The prize for the destroyed tank in the amount of one thousand rubles on the market, you could buy 11 kg of fries or 700 grams of fat, 100 glasses tobacco-home-grown or 3 loaves of bread.
he was among the relatives and those who took of the money in the savings Bank – have placed a Deposit, bought the bonds. Others managed to save money at home. The biggest losers were those who kept obtained front money “under the mattress” – in 1947, 10 old rubles at the official exchange rate traded only 1 new ruble. Thus, the front money was devalued 10 times. Besides to exchange cash old currency for the new after the start of the reforms was possible only during the week (in the far North two weeks), and if someone does not have time to do it, stockpiling is simply burned.
Back to Bank savings. If lying in the savings Bank the amount was less than 3 thousand rubles, the investor in the monetary reform of 1947 had nothing to lose. With the contribution from 3 to 10 thousand – have lost a third, and with the contribution of 10 thousand received at the hands of only half. A third of the savings lost and the holders of bonds of Treasury bonds.
Price feat
based On the number of Stalin’s orders to the military since the first days of the war, began to pay the premium srather successful combat operations. The first was to encourage the pilots. So, according to the order No. 0299 downed German plane fighter pilot was awarded a one-time award in the amount of one thousand rubles for the elimination of standing at the airport of the aircraft from a half to five thousand, for the bombing of the industrial-military facilities – 500 rubles. By the way, each participant in the August bombing of Berlin in 1941, he received 2,000 rubles.
in the summer of 1943 discretionary bonuses are paid to all soldiers. Most often a money encourage for the enemy tanks. For the destruction of anti-tank rifle gunner gave five hundred, and his assistant – two hundred. A higher premium is paid to the fact that he destroyed a tank with a grenade – a thousand. The tank shot down the enemy aircraft, paying too one-off: mechanic-driver and commander – five hundred for each tank, the rest of the crew – two hundred. Financially rewarded and those who saved their equipment. For the evacuation of the faulty tank from the battlefield or occupied territory paid at the following rates: for the salvation of “Klim Voroshilov” – 5 thousand, at the conclusion of the T-34 – 2 thousand, for T-60 and T-70 – 500 rubles.
These premiums are paid one time for each feat separately. Existed financial incentives: privates most distinguished parts paid double salary, but officers pay only 50% of the salary. Snipers monthly “throw” at 25-200 rubles, the Marines 15 to 25% of the standard salary.
Cancellation of award
in 1936 the additional money and benefits received order bearer. These payments have not been reduced during the reform of 1947, but was completely canceled almost immediately after it – in 1948. So, was awarded the gold star of Hero of the Soviet Union ceased to receive a monthly 50 RUB., awarded the Order of Lenin – 25 RUB., the order of the Patriotic war of 1 degree or order of the red banner – 20 RUB., red star – 15 RUB.
it is Clear that every order of lay particular feat of the soldier, and in fact in 1948 those feats was fully impaired. As said the soldiers, it was not so much the money, although farmers who received 150 roubles, additional payment in 15-50 rubles were significant. According to the memoirs of the writer-soldier Grigory Baklanov, the abolition of the premium was perceived as a slap in the face – you say, did his time and appreciation of the country in full. “There is no need! Walk, guys!”.
