    The government plans to assign 100,000 rubles to the family of every
    Russian citizen killed in the Sochi air crash, Transport Minister
    and investigation commission head Igor Levitin told a Sunday press
    conference.

    In addition, the families will receive 20,000 rubles from the Armavia
    Armenian airline, he said.

    "Sochi authorities have decided to pay 500,000 rubles to each local
    family of the air crash victims and to bear the funeral expenses,"
    he said.

    "The governmental investigation commission will now move to Moscow
    and visit the crash scene whenever necessary," Levitin said.
