Support for the authors of our site

Dear readers, we inform you that changes have occurred on the Military Review website. They concern the connection of the financial support system (donations) to the personal pages of authors.

Each visitor can express their support for the author by clicking on a special icon under the publication or on the profile page, thereby contributing to the development of the information resource and stimulating the work of a specific journalist.

A donation is not only an expression of feasible financial gratitude for the work done, but also an opportunity to suggest topics for future articles and reviews that are of interest to you personally. You can do this through a comment to the donation. Your support also raises the level of responsibility for the authors, because it is a confirmation of your trust and interest in the published materials. We value this trust and will try to justify it.

Friends, in addition to this, your support will be a confirmation of our status as a people's, non-opportunistic publication that lives and works in the interests of its readers.

To accept donations we use the CloudTips service. Public offer и rules for using the service. Currently, only cards from Russian banks are supported for payment.

Thank you for remaining interested in the work of our information resource!

A good idea
Good Luck!

All donations go directly to the author, without the participation of the site administration.

[Old Michael]

Another very useful feature would be the ability to turn off video ads and other dynamic advertising images for a reasonable fee (it's not hard to calculate). For a higher fee, you can remove all advertising (except links to information partner sites).

I agree. And yesterday they posted a thread about the concert of Nepotrebka in London and the reaction of the shell-shocked Zamuzhny - I don't know why it was on this site?

I wouldn't say so, namesake.
The ratings could have been left different. Previously, completely weak works, plagiarism or populist articles were driven into minus.
It's just that a number of "authors holding power on VO" couldn't maintain the level that forum members were used to. As a result, first hysteria began, then repressions and "likes" appeared!
For similar reasons, the names and pseudonyms of the authors of articles are indicated at the end, not at the beginning of the works.

Look at the intellectual level of today's commentators, they basically can't evaluate anything. They walk in packs and think like a gray mass! It used to be more interesting to read comments than an article.

"He only counts those
Who is even more stupid than him?
"Too much" for him...

You're right!
Comments reflect the level of culture and literacy.
The majority of comments reflect current emotions.
There is very little content, as a matter of fact, in the comments now!

[fantast]

You are fundamentally wrong. A minus for an article is: you didn't like how the author wrote it, you didn't like the topic, you don't like the author, and if the news describes tragic events - what do you put - a plus or a minus, and if a minus, then what is the author's fault and why is he being minused for this? And I can ask a lot of such questions...

[Vladislav_V]

That's what I'm writing about! With the current level of readers, they will simply put minuses because they didn't like the news! And no one will think about how the author presented it and developed the idea. Analytics will also be either minused or plused along party lines.

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

Andrey, the tragic news was not assessed as memorable events in the reviews by the majority of forum members.
I personally was outraged by such situations.
Otherwise, an assessment of the skill and quality of the Author's work!

There is such a magazine on Vzglyad... and Olga N...., who wrote about how hydraulics fell out in a plane and how two terrorists were detained in four cities of Russia! And on VO such nonsense is sometimes written. It seems that the main thing for such people now is to crow unverified, but hot news as quickly and loudly as possible.
But it turns out that the commentators on such articles are to blame!

[Boa kaa]

Quote: Kote pane Kohanka

I'm all for the return of the minuses to the Authors of the articles!!!

I used to think so too. But you, dear Pan, have not deigned to write a single "note for our boy". You are essentially a consumer, not a participant in the process. Try to write something. Select illustrations, attach them to the text of the article, edit... This is a lot of work. He is worthy of respect in himself. Many people like F.M. Dostoevsky. But I don't really. But this does not diminish his contribution to the treasury of world literature. Therefore, it will be fair: if it doesn't offend you, don't put a "+". If you don't agree with something, write a post, criticize the author. See if someone will support you, and you will not be alone in your assessment of the work of a fellow site member. If you liked the article, put a plus, write a laudatory comment. If you know something more than the author, add your own post. Then there will be "collective creativity". And the Site will emerge from "political review" onto a normal military-technical and operational-tactical path. Which is what I sincerely wish for the editorial staff.

[3x3zsave]

But you, dear Pan, did not deign to write a single “note for our boy”.
You know, colleague, my friend has done a lot for the resource. For example, he organized Skomorokhov and Staver's trip to Verkhnyaya Pyshma...
So don't whistle when you don't know anything about a person!

[Boa kaa]

Quote: 3x3zsave

Don't whistle when you don't know anything about a person!

The question was about the epistolary genre, if you, sir, hadn't noticed. And not about charity at all. Your friend is undoubtedly a wonderful person. But as a "writer" I have not seen a single one of his works. That is exactly what I am talking about.
I didn't mean to offend Pan at all. He's probably a wonderful MAN. But he's not a writer (yet). That's the point.
And to evaluate the work of the "author" negatively without trying to dip the pen into the inkwell is probably not entirely correct. This is what I am talking about.
AHA.

[3x3zsave]

That's true. All of us, "the chicks of Shpakovsky's nest" are not rich in publications. But on the other hand, we all know each other personally. "Through time, through distances." And we are friends. Well, something like that.

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

Dear Kaa, I have articles, monographs, methodological and educational manuals, even one practical course in my "piggy bank". There are a number of legislative and departmental initiatives supported by the legislator and the ministry.
Publish on VO? I had a similar idea, even for the judgment of a narrow circle of people, I threw out the work on a non-core, but interesting for me topic. I received positive reviews, but ... The conflict with the representatives of the VO administration killed my desire to post anything here.
Besides, I have some problems and restrictions in my service. I have no desire to write to the prosecutor's office whether I have or do not have income from my articles.
I'll retire and think about your offer. However, I have one obligation and I will fulfill it.
And so - yes, a consumer.
The only problem is that I could quote the works of the authors of the 2013-14 VO from the podium during classes, real ones...
Despite the fact that I am in personal correspondence with a number of VO journalists and I sincerely like them from work, and I personally know some of them.
Somewhere like that respected Kaa, if anything - before I lived under the nickname Kotische...

By QR code on the receipt. This is the only way I leave tips. Very rarely in cash. And you can even see who exactly the tip will go to

According to the QR code on the receipt.

According to the code, the money will go to the owner’s accounting department, and if the waiter gets it, then only part of it.

You transfer the money to the waiter via SBP. But this is rare. Usually tips are in cash and are thrown into a common fund, which is then divided among the entire shift.

Good evening Andrey!
Among the interesting things I have found on the site over a quarter of a century: a bayonet from a three-line rifle (found in a woodpile), half a grinding stone from a factory machine (dug up in the backyard), a pood cast iron weight (in the garden), a half-pood kiritsa (from the stove); pliers (pre-revolutionary), a bunch of forged nails, staples, a pickaxe, a couple of koun ax handles, ... and even a 15-meter rail lost 6 years ago!!!
The last find was when I was digging a well for water. The drill bit passed 15 centimeters from the rail, which went half a meter into the ground. When I was putting rings around the neck of the well, I had to cut it with an oxyacetylene torch.

[Adrey]

Quote: Kote pane Kohanka

Among the interesting things I have found on the site over a quarter of a century:

You can invite archaeologists to the site). In the spring. Whatever they find, they will dig up .
The question about the rail is interesting. In our city, when they started building the embankment, my classmate "dug up" a rail with the tsarist stamp (I don't remember the year, I think it was 188..), and successfully handed it in for scrap metal. When I remarked that the piece with the stamp could have been cut off with a grinder, he just scratched his head with a sad look.

[Kote Pan Kokhanka]

With the rail on my site, everything is more prosaic and funny. My father brought 6 pieces, he wanted to make a balcony in the apartment. But they were not useful. After buying the site, I used 5 in building a house, and the sixth one was lost. I thought it was stolen. Found it 15 years later…

Dear Andrey, a number of permanent VO Authors live outside the territory of the Russian Federation. I will not write their names.
Only since the beginning of the Middle East turmoil have radical representatives of the state of Israel emerged from the authors' club. Moreover, they did not hide their attitude towards Russia, to put it mildly.
Likewise, the geography of forum members is quite broad...
I will not continue my allegories further...

[3x3zsave]

Only since the beginning of the Middle East turmoil have radical representatives of the state of Israel been leaving the authors' club
Privalov was the only one of those authors. And he fell out with the beginning of the SVO.
Hello, Vlad!

[Andrey VOV]

Good day! Privalov yes, there was one. But in my opinion there were definitely a couple of three representatives of the promised land, but I don’t remember their nicknames and full names at all.

[3x3zsave]

And to you too, Andrey, all the best!
Only Privalov wrote articles, and, it must be said, very good articles. And so, the Israeli cluster was quite large, but everyone left. Now only "voyaka uh" and "merkava" sometimes appear

Yes, you are right, it seems that I mixed the author and the commentators into one pile, as they say.

The content on the site is available for free, and a donation is exclusively your gratitude to the author and no one is going to force you to do this. And payment for the service is a completely different story

[Melior]

I imagine it works like this: a person reads an article here on the site absolutely free of charge, at the bottom of the article there is a link to the author's Telegram channel for consultations, and if the person liked the article and wants to get additional consultations, he subscribes to this channel and consults. But it is better to check with Khazin.

To do this, the author must register a legal entity and pay taxes, must create a channel, somehow connect a subscription and much more... And all so that several people subscribe to him. Does this seem easier to you?

The logical conclusion of our conversation. We need to do everything differently, but no one will use it. "It's safer," but why it's safer, I don't know.

[Melior]

I clearly stated why it is safer: there is no donation in this scheme, but there is a fee for a specific service, and if the law is not violated when providing the service, then they should not present a charge for it. I also repeatedly recommended that you contact Khazin directly for advice: he does use this scheme somehow. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with anything else.

Greetings, Andrew!
A question arose. All full-time authors are either individual entrepreneurs or self-employed. Accordingly, their income is transparent to the Federal Tax Service. What about the rest? Or am I missing something in the donation system?

[fantast]

Donat (voluntary donation)/tips are tax-deductible

[Soldatov V.]

I would like to see this on some kind of educational and practical example of how it works. There are many pensioners on the site, so that I could immediately understand what it is. Another question is to which bank the money will be transferred and from which account? For example, a Russian pensioner only has a pension account. And where is this bank in which country the money will be transferred to, otherwise we, not knowing, will sponsor Ukraine or Israel, or some other terrorist country, or our liberals or United Russia, or the Communist Party of the Russian Federation.

[fantast]

The donation system is Russian, you can register only with a Russian phone number and withdraw to a Russian card. And the donation itself goes to the author's account in the CloudTips service.

[Soldatov V.]

Okay, and where is the CloudTips service registered in which country?

Do you think your message is witty?

Andrey, don't be offended by Vladimir's attacks, during our stay at VO we have encountered changes in the rules more than once. Sometimes you have to blow on water.

I am not offended, but I respect constructive and reasoned dialogue.

He is a naive guy! With our contingent of workers on the site, all the authors will have skulls. That is why they do not introduce it, so that everything will be as before, decorous and noble.

You are fundamentally wrong. A minus for an article is: you didn't like how the author wrote it, you didn't like the topic, you don't like the author, and if the news describes tragic events - what do you put - a plus or a minus, and if a minus, then what is the author's fault and why is he being minused for this? And I can ask a lot of such questions...

[Soldatov V.]

But this is not a modest question, I think you took as an example an already working donation system, what amounts of gratitude do the authors expect, is it possible to live on this, as the Jews say?

The amounts will depend, among other things, on your personal generosity.
We have no influence on this.

If I start writing articles on this site, will I be an author and be able to receive donations? What do I need to do for this? How do I register or get a job, is it possible?

[Mishka78]

Quote: fantast

if the news describes tragic events

If this is a news section, then, theoretically, there are no authors as such. It's just news - a repost from the media.
But the sections of analytics, opinions, history, where the author’s vision, his subjective opinion, his analysis, conclusions, methods for solving the problems raised, etc. are present, are a different matter.
And both the donation and the minuses are quite on topic.

[3x3zsave]

If the resource were a non-commercial undertaking, then this would be possible in principle. But due to the commercial component and the Administration's acute idiosyncrasy towards rewriting (which is understandable, since troubles have already happened in this area), newsmakers are present on the site. And they enter the texts of the materials with their fingers, not a mouse, using their own words and sentences. Remember school essays? Here's the same thing, from the side.

In principle, the approach is probably correct, "the market will decide everything" There will be no stick, but there will be a carrot. Those who are not beaten with the stick will not leave (the content will still be there), and those who have tasted the carrot will gain incentive and strength.
I will definitely join in to the best of my financial ability.

[Nikolaevich I]

"Thank" the authors with a ruble (dollar, euro, shekel, tugrik ...) if there is something to thank them for! But sometimes such articles appear that you want the author to pay the readers for the time they wasted reading the article! What are Verkhoturov's articles worth with instructions on how to make soap from corpses, food protein from a cave, "champagne" from urine! (I'm exaggerating a little!) After that, you wake up at night in a sweat, fearing that the "zombie epidemic" in this comrade's head will spread to you!

Nikolaevich, are you the one complaining? After so many years on the resource, you have probably learned to identify the author by the first couple of paragraphs read.

Actually, you are right about something! Indeed, sometimes I write a comment after reading only the title, but without reading the article itself... just after glancing at the content! Because the content of the article and the author's "credo" already become clear!

[3x3zsave]

Well, yes!
My regards!

[wehr]

I think that I didn’t write in vain. How many years have passed, but you still remember and constantly mention my articles.

You can donate so that I don't write this.

[Nikolaevich I]

I will consider your offer! And don't flatter yourself too much about what you remember! People tend to remember for a long time the "brightest" examples of extraordinary events, manifestations of courage, intelligence, nobility; but also stupidity, shamelessness, betrayal, opportunism...

[wehr]

I will survive.
These were developments for the event of total war in its worst form.

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: wehr

These were developments for the event of total war in its worst form.

That is, you decided to "focus" on the dark area of ​​humanity, on the main principle of "darkness": Survive at any cost? Yes, people have repeatedly faced a dilemma: to remain human or to go down the evolutionary ladder of civilization a couple of steps (to the level of the "beast")! And different people made different choices! I will not talk about many examples ... let's take one! Blockade of Leningrad! This is where the Light and Dark sides of humanity unfolded! Some, in order to survive at any cost, became cannibals ... others died of hunger, baking bread for the blockade survivors, saving the seed fund for humanity! But some, dying, remained "Humans" in the highest sense of the word; and others survived, remaining Inhumans! You are suggesting that humanity in extreme situations "survive at any cost" by degrading civilizationally! The goal? Save humanity? If it works out, then degradation will justify everything! We've heard it before, it's happened before... But will humanity remain the same? In the degree of its humanity! There is an example, albeit a somewhat indirect one... Fascist Germany! What has a cultured nation, a country of philosophers and engineers turned into in a few years of existence according to the principles: Germany above all, everything for Germany (nothing for others), survive at any cost (including the cost of destroying other peoples...)!?

What mega-pathos, what theatrical hand-wringing!!
Should the bodies be cleaned up or left lying around?

[Nikolaevich I]

Quote: wehr

Should the bodies be cleaned up or left lying around?

Should relatives be buried or simply buried? Or dumped in a pit? Oh yeah! Use them for fertilizer! According to Verkhoturov, if they were of no use during life, they will be useful after death!

[wehr]

Why not use your remains for something socially useful.
And in the field there is a sign: “This plot was personally fertilized by comrade (such and such).”

[3x3zsave]

Colleague Verkhoturov! My respects! We still haven't crossed swords in the field of the Middle Ages...

[wehr]

Greetings!
You're welcome!! I promise not to take anyone prisoner.

[3x3zsave]

Okay. I called. The choice of weapon is yours.

Will the ambassadors from the Khakan Rus be suitable?

[3x3zsave]

It's your right. I can only agree with your choice.

How much will it cost to remove one warning from a commentator?

Quote: Al Manah

How much will it cost to remove one warning from a commentator?

This question should not be addressed to Andrey (Fantast), but to other specialists (gurus) of the site. At the very least, you will greet the morning as a senior sergeant, if not a private.
Believe me, I have experience, I was a general three times, but I have a bad character...
The first time I started again as a senior lieutenant, the second time - as a major, today's nickname is the second. I stayed only thanks to the community. The guys barely persuaded me.
I don't believe in the fairness of the resource anymore. By the way, Andrey (Fantast) is one of the decent employees of the site.

Oleg
I also think: why have I had 4 warnings hanging on my desk since kindergarten? In the army, everything is simple: if the punishment played an "educational role", it is removed. If it didn't play a role, it will be removed in a year as no longer relevant. But here, if you curse in your heart, the fascist will get a grenade. And then look around...
But I have another question: Why was reserve K3R Maxim Klimov banned "forever"? After all, he was an interesting and relevant author, although very inconvenient for "some" in uniform and in power.
Bring Max back on stage. At least there will be something to read. And sometimes it is useful to learn the unflattering truth. Without the gruesome stuff, of course...
AHA.

[Al manah]

Well, being wary of an inconvenient author on the pages of your site is kind of understandable in today's times - somehow it didn't go sideways. But the to do ordinary commentators - it's... "Khobotov, this is petty!" (c)

Are the authors of the articles missing something?

[Mint Gingerbread]

Considering how the site's authors give out news in a one-sided manner, without original sources or summaries, with their "necessary" opinion. Every second news item here is like this. This or that one said this. What he said, God knows, there is no quote. Where is the original source, at least for a major media outlet, and go look for it yourself.

[Alexander_K]

Considering that this news is read by administrators and the most respected users of the site, I would like to make a suggestion: indicate the author's name at the beginning of the article, and not at the end. Not everyone can understand the expediency of reading from the first two paragraphs. At one time, I somehow first scrolled to the end of all articles to the author, and then returned to the beginning, or left. Therefore, I ask you to consider this modification for not very smart readers, but interested in the relevant topic. Thanks in advance.

You are fundamentally wrong, because you, as the author, have the opportunity to rate any commentator on your article, while the latter, in turn, does not have such an opportunity. The question is, why is that? And the example of some tragic events that you gave is, firstly, not typical, and not correct.
