One More Little Story About “The Most Social Welfare State”

I know this story firsthand, because it happened to my very close relative.

Sviatlana (let’s call her this name) was a director of one commercial organization. And it so happened so that she got pregnant – women have such peculiarity.

Of course, Sviatlana was not going to quit her job and go on maternity leave. But it so happened, that when she was in 7th month of pregnancy the babies (Sviatlana was expecting twins) decided to rend their mom away from work and to come into the world.

The delivery was difficult. As the result the babies and the mother had to stay in the hospital for a whole month.

When Sviatlana returned to her work, she found out that unpleasant news were waiting for her: tax inspectors raided the organization she was heading. The inspectors had no major claims. But, of course, they couldn’t leave empty-handed.

So right at that moment the inspectors suffered an attack of social justice, possible only in the state that is focused on social welfare. They discovered that the “director Sviatlana” failed to pay the “maternity” money to the “young mother Sviatlana” on time, because she was in a maternity hospital at that time. Our Robin Hoods did not care about the reasons of absence of the director and about the fact that that was one and the same woman – justice is above everything else!

As the result, quite a big amount of money, which the “director Sviatlana” was fined with, was added to the state treasury, so that the “director Sviatlana” had no desire to offend the poor pregnant woman in the future. And the young mother Sviatlana can now sleep peacefully, because she knows that she is under the protection of the most socially-oriented state in the world.
