The conscripts and contract soldiers in Russia are not paid promised salaries, allowances and social benefits.
According to the calculations of the news outlet, since the beginning of March 2023, the salaries of the servicemen have been delayed or not paid at all in 52 regions of Russia and in occupied Crimea.
...According to Dmytro Loboyko, the Head of the Regional Studies Centre, people from the Russian hinterland associated "the hope of qualitatively changing their lives, but they had to face reality" with payment for participation in hostilities.

Putin cannot concieve of it yet, but he is likely placing too much value in the strength of his authority.
“Because I say so!” only goes so far in the age of the internet. The lowliest bit of cannon fodder can find out what’s going on around him. The current rates of slaughter and destruction only kilometers away.
when I did PCS they gave me my pay records.
I was warned if I lost them no more money.
Ever.
I had a huge problem but it wasn’t from an army-wide problem, it was just a tough system that not everyone knew about.
You didn’t have to believe everything a clerk told you.
What about “volunteer army” did they not understand? Just wait until vlad institutes his “intern army.”
“This is how you get mutiny, apathy and purposeful neglect from the bottom up. Putin will find that out soon.”
This is a subtle way for Putin to have Russian troops return home...and declare an end to hostilities...
Gee Matt, what happened to all your graphics explaining how Russia looting, raping and murdering across the the Ukraine was a fine thing? And all you snark about how inevitable, and rapid, Russia's victory over Ukraine would be?
Russia still might drown the Ukes in Russian blood, but the Ukes appear to be giving a pretty good account of themselves. Why don't you watch this NSFW (really NSFW) video and post some LOLs about how as a former SEAL you understand that everything is going according to Putin's Cunning Plan™.Redditt Combat Footage: New drone dropping video from Ukrainian ADAM group
Does a package of ground beef in the grocery store meat section receive a salary? Because that’s all these mobiks are to putin, packets of meat.
But in an army, you gotta be fighting man or die, and maybe even then. So being a butt boy is inimical to that, and if it’s that or die, well, WTF. Tomorrow we’re charging in a wave at a machine gun nest spitting .50 caliber bullets out. So no, I find the idea of a soldier spreading his cheeks for the pimp/CO’s customers hard to believe.
Dude, Putin’s got to lose, then.
Actually it’s how to clear the field when they refuse to take orders.
Uncle Sam pays his stooges very well.
Until he doesn’t. Ask the ARVNs from 1975.

“Until he doesn’t. Ask the ARVNs from 1975.”
What does that mean, what was Uncle Sam supposed to pay?
I have no idea what Russian gdp is and no one does. Russian reporting numbers is China and their numbers
What I am confident about is the vast amount of revenue for Russia came from selling oil and natural gas and byproducts. 70 a barrel was budgeted amount and they haven’t hit that number since 2022.
They may be moving oil but they are not making much on it, natural gas and products like gasoline and diesel are much more problematic
The world is happy to see Russia produce as much as they can as long as they don’t make much.
Wars are generally good for gdp, but that doesn’t tell the whole story. Declining revenue, huge declines in infrastructure,education, and healthcare spending and huge increases in domestic security and military spending is not good. Add to that the deaths and injuries and civilian flight from Russia and not so sure a “good” gdp report is an even exchange
Curious to see what happens with that imagine they will get a letter telling them thanks for your service you are now part of the Russian army
And why would Russian men refuse to take orders from Glorious Comrade Supreme Leader Putin?
While they were fighting in A’stan, I rmember reading the same kinds of stories about soldiers going without pay.
Months passed and troops had not received pay.
—”But in an army, you gotta be fighting man or die”
Almost any civilian position is also needed in the modern Army.
Sometimes called the tooth-to-tail ratio, combatants to support troops. Today about 10:1 depending... Us Civil War 35:1. And the personality types for different positions; everything from A to Z.
Is the stigma the same for a female rape victims?
Sadly I believe this to be the nature of a brutal society with a bit of gloss on the rough spots.
Watch how the Russian propagandists speak on Russian TV.
