Russia’s Samara region is set to nearly double the one-time payment for soldiers signing contracts with the Ministry of Defense, increasing it from 1.2 million rubles to 2 million rubles (about $20,000).
The original sum, announced in July 2024, has now been significantly raised in just four months, reflecting a sharp increase in financial incentives for military service. Samara, a relatively remote region with lower living costs compared to western Russia, has become a focal point for these recruitment efforts.
This sharp increase suggests growing challenges for the Russian military in attracting new recruits.
