They reveal the high price of Russian soldiers and civilians to escape the war: “They did not know what other ways to save”

From the beginning of the war, many Russian soldiers are willing to pay large sums of money to avoid fighting in the front of the war with Ukraine. However, The growing losses of military and the shortage of new recruits, make bribes more difficult to execute. The correspondent of the Diariolilia Yapparova, has investigated how much they are willing to pay these soldiers.

As published by the Latvian, a popular exit is to bribe the combat doctors. In conversation with the correspondent, a Russian soldier explains that these “announce on the radio that they are ‘three hundred’ wounded and then the doctors, by prior agreement, They are injected with analgesics, open their legs and nail a small piece of shrapnel there “explains Nikolai. “This costs 300,000 rubles (about 3,200 euros)“.

In addition, soldiers can also be dictates with decline if they receive the diagnosis of a disease while they are in the front. However, due to precariousness in the front, being discharged from the Russian army, for this reason, it is becoming increasingly laborious, even for those who are willing to pay “huge amounts of money,” reveals Nikolai.

Another way to which soldiers come is “The kidnapping”. According to the former executive director of International Transparency of Russia, for an even greater sum, which ranges between 200,000 and three million rubles (between 2,100 and 32,000 euros), “they can kidnap you from a military base and give yourself to another part of the world.”

In fact, this illicit market offers more ambiguous ways to escape from military service, such as the reopening of a bank account in the United Kingdom for 29,000 rubles (310 euros). According to the disseminated information, Since it is illegal for Russian soldiers to have bank accounts abroad, this could be a reason for dismissal.

From the beginning of the war, prices to avoid fighting on the front “have shot themselves for three, or even ten.” The anti -corruption expert Ilya Shumanov confirms, in statements also consulted by the digital It was sold for a million rubles or more on the dark website (Darknet)“.

In this way, according to Darya BergChief of Socorro and Evacuation of Get Lostthe most popular “service” in the recruitment evasion market, “prices have shot not only because “People simply did not know what other ways to save themselves”but also because recruits are subject to more frequent controls and doctors responsible for the tests are under more intense scrutiny. “

In autumn of 2022, this online black market was full of ads that offered to help people “Escape from the slavery of the army” and obtain “a military identification with a beautiful disease”. One of them, collected by Meduza, I said, “don’t you want to risk your life? There is an exit. There is no need to sit with fear in a rented apartment, flee to Mongolia on foot or sail with a friend through the Bering Strait. Get in touch with us.” The price: seven million rubles (75,000 euros).

Darknet users and Telegram chat groups also sell documents that provide reasons for the postponement or exemption of military service. In the publication some of them are listed.

Even so, The media ensures that a large percentage of these ads are scams. “When a person is scared by a recruitment notice, he will rush to deliver any amount of money. First they ask him to transfer 2,100 euros and send photocopies of the documents. The trusted index rises, but then the process is extended and extended,” explains a source to the medium. “They are just scammers who take advantage of fear,” he concludes.
