The Russian government has doubled the amount of money paid out to victims of wildfires. Immediate material assistance will now be 10,000 roubles, (some $330) rather than 5,000 roubles. Compensation for property destroyed in the blazes will now be 100,000 for each member of the family, and 1,000,000 for a family member who died in the fires, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said at a Cabinet session on Monday.
