minor, relatively insignificant


Explanation:
"nebol'shie za obiemom..." means in broken Russian
"insignificant compared to the total budget". ("za" meaning

the expression \"nebol\'shie za obshim ob\'emom (finansirovaniya, proizvodstva etc.)\" meaning \"relatively small compared to\" (total budget, gross producttion etc) is quite frequently used by bureaucracy, though it\'s not exactly good Russian either
