Putin signed a law banning the dismissal of widows of SVO participants for a year. Similar conditions are introduced for widowers whose military wife died in the Northern Military District zone.

exceptions to the law are the liquidation of an organization and repeated failure by an employee to fulfill his job duties without good reason, as well as his committing an immoral offense if he performs educational functions. The document was published on the legal information portal of the Russian State Duma. It is clarified that the widow cannot be dismissed within one year from the date of death of the spouse.
