It's good that the families are being remembered like this. The "Они сражались за Родину" jeton sounds like a solid, straightforward keepsake. Does the church help organise any ongoing support for the widows and kids beyond the presentation?

Yes, it is good that families are remembered with this medal. "Они сражались за Родину" sounds simple and dignified. Our parish here in Nicosia collects clothes and food for widows with children, maybe in Nizhny Novgorod they do something similar besides the ceremony?
