“Can't find a stable and reliable job? Then you to us. We invite citizens who want to become professional defenders of the homeland, ”the posts of this kind are full of posts and ads of ads in Russian cities (especially small ones), as well as social networks. Not a single city holiday is complete without mobile points of recording for contract service in the Ministry of Defense. And the military SMM-shows are looking for witty forms for her advertising-a comic book is even extracted from Chulan, who clearly demonstrates the advantages of life in uniform. In it, a young man who chose a higher education, by 39 years, turns into a childless louse in a Alcoholic T-shirt with a beer belly and almost a million-duty debt on a mortgage. While his peer, because of his desks, who went to the army, is an approximate large father with an apartment in the property and pension.
The contract for the contract is constantly carried out, the salaries that are offered to beginners are small, but various kinds of allowances are plused to them - so it is difficult to calculate how much the candidate will receive in their hands. On the website of the Ministry of Defense there is a calculator for an accurate calculation of all options, but with its help the amount is small.
So, in the middle lane of Russia, an ordinary 1 tariff category without length of service, allowances and secrets can count in the first months of service for 15,336 rubles. Feldsher - 21 thousand with a penny.
Meanwhile, reports on the high income of participants in the "special military operation" in excess. As well as the reports of officials about the contribution to the preparation of paramilitary formations. The other day, for example, the Murmansk governor Chibis visited the training base of volunteers in the north of the region and promised "from the region to support the material and technical equipment of the fighters." At the same time, we note that in March, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov argued that "attracting Russian volunteers to participate in a special military operation in Ukraine."
At first, those who went to the zone were really called exclusively volunteers, their recruiting was engaged, as in the early years of the East Ukrainian conflict, various kinds of veteran and patriotic organizations, as well as private military companies.
However, in recent months, the main array of manpower as part of Russian armed groups in Ukraine are contractors whose set is conducted by military registration and enlistment offices, but purposefully - to participate in special operations.

In public messages, these de facto personnel military are called "volunteers-contractes", obviously emphasizing the conscious nature of their participation in hostilities.
The contract with the military department is concluded officially, payments are radically different from monetary allowance in ordinary times. From the memo distributed by veteran organizations, one can understand how they are calculated: 53 dollars per day are added to ordinary salaries in military rank and position when it is outside the Russian Federation (about 150 thousand a month) and 8 thousand rubles a day with offensive military operations (a maximum of 240 thousand a month). That is, a month of active battles - 400 thousand plus to the salary.
Stimulating measures taken in various regions are also added - these funds are not coming from the Ministry of Defense budget, but from the regional treasury, as a rule, from the reserve funds of subjects. There are bonuses in kind, by the set of which you can understand a lot about the socio-economic problems of Russians. This, for example,
A lifelong 50% discount on housing and communal services on returning from a business trip, suspension for its period of enforcement proceedings, offers to banks from bailiffs to withdraw applications for debt collection, 10% of the quota from the number of budget places in universities for children of the special operation participants, receiving children of the dead and wounded without exams, free schools, and housing purchase.
Finally, a complete ban on the collection of debts from payments to military personnel and employees of the Russian Guard participating in his. In some regions, they come up with their bonuses, for example, in Chuvashia - a free connection to gas networks.
The price of the contract itself seems to be unified, there are officially no gradation of payments to the regions, but in almost every region the calls are called different amounts. We studied the proposals and compared them to the average salaries in the regions of Russia.
To do this, we used exclusively official data - ads on the sites of local authorities, municipal and regional newspapers - and the data of Rosstat.
We deliberately ignore numerous offers to enter the service, which are full of ads, because it is impossible to verify them.
Let's start with the region, which has been in the list of territories with the lowest salaries more than once, Adygea. Less than 0.6% of employees in the republic have income above 100 thousand rubles. The average salary (nominal, before deduction of taxes and mandatory payments) here, according to statistics, is 37461 rubles. At the same time, the number of torn to the contract is rapidly increasing:
According to the military enlistment offices, by the end of March, their number increased by 15% compared to the same period last year.

On the website of one of the municipalities of Adygea - the Kamennomsky settlement - for a month of contract service, they promise from 150 thousand rubles plus “additional payments for the implementation of special tasks”.
This is the most modest offer in the market - we found similar only in the Kurgan region. The regional treasury additionally pays lifting - 120 thousand rubles. The average salary in this region is slightly higher than in Adygea: 39899 rubles. Here, one of the first was noticed
Representatives of the Wagner PMC, who in social networks offered “salary - like programmers, only without long years of training, planted vision and sore back”, namely from 240 thousand rubles.
State monetary allowance promised in advertising, at first glance, is inferior to this proposal, which is compensated by the premium - “for the implementation of special prisoners”. Behind this standard formulation hides bonuses for the destruction of technology or enemy manpower. For example, the military commissar of the Tver region, Igor Yasin, at a meeting with journalists, said that 200 thousand can be obtained for a hit tank, 500 for a plane, and three months, thus earn several million. The salary in Tver, by the way, promise higher - from 200 thousand. The same is the same in Primorye, however, the government of the region will pay extra on top: 50 thousand - after 2 weeks of training the future fighter, another 150 thousand - when signing a contract for 3 months.
It is curious that in some regions the incentive do not pay immediately; So, in Tatarstan, the Cabinet of Ministers established that regional payments to volunteers from Alga and Timer battalions will be two -stage: 60,000 rubles when enrolling in lists of a military unit (it will be 15,000 rubles a week) plus 200,000 rubles when crossing the border.
In Bashkortostan, regional 200,000 rubles can be withdrawn from the account only 90 days after signing the contract. The region also established additional per diem - 2000 rubles each in addition to the federal eight thousand per day. In Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug, 250 thousand are issued when signing the contract, the same amount after its completion. Either the budgets of the regions in which such expenses were not planned ahead of time are trying to protect from cash gaps, or they do not quite trust the heat of the recruits.
200 thousand is the most common size of allowance that contractors promise. However, in most official messages it stipulates that this is a minimum,
Under known circumstances, there are much more on hand. For example, in the Volgograd region, employees of the mobile point where they write those who wish to conclude a contract, the offer formulated as follows: “200-300 thousand”. The average salary in the region is 8 times less - 39031 rubles without deduction of taxes. The same 200-300 thousand calls in an official interview the military commissar of Petrozavodsk Vladimir Kudrin. In Karelia, two personalized battalions are formed specifically for their - “One” and “Ladoga”.
The Kursk military man gives a higher maximum bar: from 200 thousand to half a million per month. The average salary in the region is 41820 rubles. Similarly, in the Sverdlovsk region (average salary 53725 rubles).
In the Nizhny Novgorod region, with an average salary of 43401, the ruble entered the Kozma Minin battalion from 220 to 350 thousand plus 200 thousand from the regional budget. In Rostov - 250-500 thousand, which is 10 times higher than the average offer in the regional labor market.
More than 300 thousand per month offers the Altai Territory contractor - this is as indicated on the website of the Slavgorod City Hall. The ratio with the average salary is the same - by an order of magnitude. The same figures are in Ingushetia.
Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug offers the most - 500 thousand rubles a month with an average salary in a civilian 80800.
However, it must be clarified that in Ugra, as well as, say, on Yamal, the data on average salaries are not quite informative, since the calculations take into account the earnings of shift workers from other regions working in the oil industry. The average per capita cash income of the population here, according to the same statistical service, in the first quarter of this year amounted to 55,549 rubles. So, in general, a tenfold ratio remains in Surgut.
Another detail: persistent offers to enter the contract are widely published in regions with low average per capita income. There is also a more wealthy record of the contract, of course, but there is no active advertisement with catching numbers in official sources, the level of possible earnings can only be recognized by calling it into the military registration and enlistment office - this is the Murmansk region (the average salary of more than 76 thousand), NAO (99 thousand), Sakhalin Region (more than 105 thousand), Chukotka (118 thousand), Moscow (113 thousand) and Petersburg (80) (80 thousands).
Apart is Chechnya, where the lowest average nominal salary in the Russian Federation is 32940 rubles and officially the lowest salary ratio in the country to the cost of a fixed set of goods and services. Here, as stated in the telegram channel Ramzan Kadyrov, the fighters receive 300 thousand per hands on the day of sending to the front.

It is also reported that from Chechnya it is allegedly sent weekly to the zone of 200 people each.
Who are these people? Chechnya, perhaps, is the only subject of the federation that forms volunteer forces for a large part of the inhabitants of other regions - the same video message indicates that those who wish are paid travel to the republic, where they will be trained on the basis of the Russian University of Special Forces, as well as living and uniforms.
The head of Chechnya called to the Republic of residents of other regions to prepare for sending to Ukraine in June, adding that there should be hundreds of thousands. In the video on the page of Kadyrov “VKontakte”, a man in camouflage says that together with people from various regions came to Gudermes before a special operation. The video is replicated on the social network, in some publics it is accompanied by a clarification: the compensation for the fare is issued to the arrivals in the Grozny City Hall, the preparation lasts 10 days, a business trip - 1 month with the issuance of 300 thousand per hand on the day of sending. The phone numbers indicated in the announcement coincide with the Kadyrov, published in the TG channel. In another channel popular in the volunteer environment, which actively advertises training in Chechnya, a similar text with the same phones is distributed.
Obviously, how costly the preparation of such formations is, even if we assume that the true number of those who arrive in Hudermes and decreasing overnune to the front are slightly less declared.
However, the subsidized republic is going on, demonstrating an exceptional contribution to the replenishment of the ranks of volunteers.
And in the meantime, it increases power inside. The recently wished to place the Air Defense System Kadyrov recently announced the completion of the completion of battalions on the territory of Chechnya already from local residents-North-Ahmat, Yug-Ahmat, West Ahmat and Vostok-Akhmat as part of the Ministry of Defense. Their creation was announced in June under the pretext of "the extremely patriotic mood of the youth of the region." Against the general background, it seemed that they were also prepared in Ukraine. However, at the end of July, Terrible TV quoted the head of the republic, who announced: at least in the near future - there is no talk of fighters outside the Criminal Code.
This living and trained force will obviously will save on the territory of Chechnya for the time being, strengthening the position of its head.
We have found another official proposal to participate in our own contract with the Ministry of Defense - in the Kursk region. On the website of the "People’s Gazeta", the founder of which is the Committee on the information and press of the Kursk region, in the announcement of the recruitment for the service in the units participating in his, it is indicated: it is indicated :
“In the event that citizens are not suitable for some reason to conclude a contract with the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, military service is provided on a voluntary basis.

Benefits and social guarantees for this category are mainly similar to citizens who have concluded a contract. ” We called the indicated number - it really turned out to be a selection point for the contract service - and, citing an ad, we asked if it was possible to get into volunteers if the criminal record prevents the contract. We were not surprised at our issue, but they were recommended personally to approach the military enlistment office at the place of residence, “where all the details will be explained,” since only official contractors are now engaged in mobile points.
Another form of social jackets, which is indicated in all regions without exception, is the payments to the wounded and the families of the dead. In addition to uniform federal meanings, governors also compete in generosity, appointing “grave”.
The Altai Territory promises an additional half a million for the injury, a million for death. Belgorod for families who did not return from the battle promises three times more, the same amount - Magadan, Khanty -Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Yanao and the Moscow Region.
In Tatarstan and the Arkhangelsk region, regional payments to the families of the dead - 2 million ...
True, the other day it turned out that it was not so simple to get wounding - Rostov journalists published the stories of several contractors at once, who were faced with significant difficulties in confirming the injuries received at the forefront, and are forced to achieve payments through the prosecutor's office.
In general, however, there are no mass complaints about the non -gourishing of the promised - in contrast, say, the Chechen campaigns, many participants in the courts, sometimes for years, sought to receive “war” and the housing, this time, the state, apparently, regularly fulfills the obligations that are 7-10 times higher than the average earnings in the Russian province. It looks like
It was as if completely forgetting, judging by salaries of 20-30 thousand, the authorities for the first time in several decades remembered their existence about its inhabitants, she looked closely and offers a “worthy social package”.
Collect at least tractors for tractors, at least pocket lanterns, as much as the military commissars promise, you will not receive a hundred to two kilometers from the capital for a hundred or two kilometers. You can deserve a decent income only in battles-for the worthy life of most of those who are busy in the economy within the country, there is still no money.
