Work
Marchenko started the “Mother’s Right” Foundation in 1990 to bring attention to the deaths of Russian military people in peacetime. The organization helps families of soldiers who die in peacetime, and works against corruption. [2] Many of the deaths are called suicides, so the families have trouble getting money after the death. [3]
In 2007, lawyers from Mother’s Right helped 132 families go to court for survivor's benefits. They also helped 5,323 families of men who died. [4]
The organization now helps 5000 people a year. They helped a total of 80,000 people. [5]
