According to investigators, on 19 February 2013, the European Court of Human Rights awarded over 26.5 million rubles in damages to 42 former and current employees of the Russian Emergencies Ministry in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania for serving in the area of emergency conflict in the republic.
