It would seem that Orlova’s comments have since landed her in hot water with the authorities. She claimed it was just her attempt at “black humor” and should not have been published. And it does sound rather simple: Find a husband off to join Putin’s “Special Military Operation” in Ukraine, wait for him to die, and then collect the 8 million ruble death benefit. (8 million rubles is about $95,000.) Easy peasy. “This is a business plan,” she says, matter-of-factly.

Tomsk realtor Marina Orlova apologized to Russian military personnel after a video went viral online in which she called the purchase of real estate using compensation for the death of a participant in the invasion of Ukraine a “business plan,” according to Kholod, citing Orlova’s comment to the Pod’em publication.
During a podcast she “recorded with a friend,” Orlova answered a question about what a woman over 30 should do if she wants to buy real estate. “It’s all easy and simple. You find a man who serves in the SVO, he dies, and you get eight million,” Orlova said.
Orlova claimed in the video that “many people do this”: “A lot of women come to us with these eight million, buy some cheap apartment.”
Orlova called her statement “black humor” that should not have been published. The realtor added that after the video was published, she received threats, so she decided to close her social networks.
