as for the national average its now over 1,44 million rubles **, and adding the federal payout on top, total sign-up bonus in Russia is now close to 2 million rubles or 22,000 euros**

Yeah, yeah and a large part of that will be paid to their commanders to not “zero” them right away.
Anything to avoid mobilization
And once they‘re dead, their families won‘t see any of that money. The Russians are catching on to this, they‘re not stupid.
The year has started and the signing kpis have been reset. Need to fulfill the plan. The bonuses will drop again in late november.
remember boys, if WW3 starts, be a coward and join as late as possible, sign-up bonuses and salaries get only higher over time /s
i guess whatever Russian soldiers joined in 2022 and are now wounded and out of combat really regret joining for a piss poor 2000-5000 euros when they could have gotten 20,000-50,000 euros in 2025 depending on the region
the forgotten zeroes
Remember soldiers, no body no payout to your families.
Well thats obviously not sustainable
Dead Men Tell No Tales
I guess people who get shot for five million look down on their predecessors, who were shot for only 800k.
Marriages in St. Petersburg are BOOMING! The process is very simple. You are a woman, you marry a man, you send him to the army, and all the money goes to you. There are tons of widows with 3-4 marriages under their belts. In fact, they marry a different man while their current husband is being a terrorist in Ukraine. Tons of videos about them online.
This shows me how rotten to the core Russia is. Their grandparents, parents, their children, they are all rotten. They destroy others and themselves. There is nothing good about them. There is no, “Well when this is over, maybe Russia will fix itself”.
Absolutely not. It’s like part of their genes to be evil. There is no compassion.
This generates a curious set of incentives, doesn’t it? Even **if** you are willing to join, the fast rising bonuses mean you should delay as much as possible, since you’ll get a bigger bonus and spend less time at war.
added bonus, if you die, we don’t have to pay you 😀
Haha at those suckers that went for 2.1m rubles early on.
50k euro 😄😄😄 … what a joke.
How does one Put In ballance their own life and health against a 50k euro payout? If they even get the money in full … which i doubt, especially when they die.
If you’re in Russia after all this time under Putler’s regime, you kinda deserve whatever is coming.
I honestly think that this is Russia’s main problem w.r.t manpower.
They have the people, much more than Ukraine, but they can’t raise the bonuses indefinitely. The number of men they have to send to the front is about the same over time, but the price increases every month.
Is it a horizontal line if adjusted for inflation? /s
Reeks of desperation.
You get 50k euros, but you also die. Sounds like a shitty deal to me.
I belive russia has 1 million men. Rotating 200 000 in and out while keeping their best troops in reserve etc.
And it’s even more on a per hour basis when you factor in that you’re likely to be killed within days of signing up.
Sure they will receive the money lmao
Just how bonds go up when nobody wants them
Totally sustainable!
Makes sense, all the patriots have been dead for a long time, murderers and rapists are hardly still in prison anymore. Now they have to pay massively.
When hyperinflation hits, does it really matter if it’s 5m or 5b rubles!
Do you have to pay it out if the soldier dies?
Surely this can’t deplete Russia’s war chest at an alarming rate….
Btw, for any wondering – in 2022, before full scale invasion began, 4.5mln of russian rubles could buy you pretty the same amount of Euro – around 50k.
I can’t imagine the mindset of someone who signs up – (1) you’re almost certainly going to be killed within weeks, or months, at best; (2) even if you don’t care about your life, your family is unlikely to see the money either – i keep hearing reports of field commanders extorting their men, stealing their money by demanding their bank cards and PIN codes, etc.
How do they get the money to do that? Issuing national debt? Do the soldiers never actually get the money?
Is it possible in practice to exchange 4.5M rubles to 50k euros? Can you find some bank or trader that would actually do it?
Or is this just a theoretical exchange rate?
50k€ for an explosive drone up my ass? No thanks.
Wait, but were told that they are “poor boys conscripts taken against their will uwu”
Is life insurance a big thing in russia now?
Remember: MIA = no payout.
Can’t really do much with that money when you’re not alive to spend it.
Even if you’re alive you’ll probably spend most drinking to forget what you saw and did.
At that rate why wouldn’t you just wait another year to sign up for twice the money?
wars “worked” long ago (pre ww1) since you had an actually good nation to fight for.
who wants to fight for their shithole today?
(exception apply, obviously)
Turn it upside down and it’s the russian economy.
You’d be wanting that up front
So now the state is running out of money local governments are being depleted of both men and money. What could go wrong in that shithole country?
They are running out of meatloaves
