Problems with the salaries of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation: As the increase in the income of Russians created Putin's problem in the war with Ukraine
Here is official information from the Russian State Statistics Service on wages in various fields of economic activity. I collected data not only average annual, but also made a sample compared to the months in different years (the last information for March 2024). So, the growth rate of salaries began to accelerate.
If in the first year of the war was 10-15%, then the second year the pace was accelerated and amounted to 15-20%in the total 2 years of the war salary in some areas increased by 45-50%. And that's not all. If you look at the salary in the nominal sense, it has come up to 100 thousand rubles, and in some places it is 150-200 thousand. Now let's look that the Kremlin offers mercenaries for war. Basic salary - from 204 thousand rubles.
Moreover, it was introduced in September 2022 and left unchanged for this time. And what does the average Russian see? The salary increased by almost 50%in 2 years. Moreover, she came close to the same 204 thousand rubles, which the Ministry of Defense of Russia offers. So, of course, Putin, of course, everyone loves, but money is even more money.
So it turns out that Naf*g and the war with NATO, if you can get almost the same money in your native mouth… inch, so there are no stupid to go to a war where you can die or return home, to put it mildly. incomplete configuration. And here for the Kremlin is a dilemma. And what to do? If you take a market approach, you should increase your salary. And it is quite significant, at least 50%, and better - for 100%, but there is one such a small problem that is not really small, but big.
Moreover, AHR*is large. This is the number of army. If we take that the number of troops that need to be raised, about 1 million people, in just one month the need will be an additional 100 billion rubles in case of increase of 50% and 200 billion in case of 100% increase. This year it will be 1. 2-2. 4 trillion rubles. And this is Overk… Eating huge money. Only 35 trillions are expected to budget all Russia a year. Finding another 1-2 trillion is unrealistic.
Despite the fact that the king constantly requires to increase the production of weapons. And that's not all. Storage warehouses "from Soviet time" are devastated, and it is necessary to start production from scratch. That is why they have now started and raising such a frantic one-time payments, but in a female, local budgets of the regions. But at the same time, the salary itself is not increased. And this is also of great importance, because for such money there is no stupid fight.
