1/ Bribes to escape conscription into the Russian armed forces are reported to have have almost doubled in cost since the start of the war in Ukraine. Muscovites have to pay the most – $7,000 to evade conscription and $19,000 to escape mobilisation. ⬇️

2/ The Baza Telegram channel reports: "Before the special operation young people could pay 200-250 thousand rubles [around $3,500] and go through the "right" doctors to get non-conscription diagnoses, and then use them to issue military ID card category B.

3/ Now, as "Baza" was told by intermediaries who help to obtain "exemption" from the army, the prices for such services have soared to 400,000-550,000 rubles. This is due to more frequent inspections of draftees and increased control in hospitals.

4/ Previously, a young man only had to go to the hospital three times: to get a diagnosis, to confirm it, and to get a certificate (which was then submitted to the enlistment office to issue the military discharge certificate).

5/ Now everything has become more complicated: having received a certificate, military registration and enlistment offices in Moscow no longer issue military IDs, but only grant a draft deferment for six months.

6/ After that the draftee will have to visit hospitals again and confirm his diagnosis.

However, it is also possible to escape from the army directly at the military registration and enlistment offices.

7/ According to information of intermediaries, it will cost about 5-6 thousand euros and the commissariats will accept only this currency as a payment.

8/ But one can get a military certificate of service for 2-3 million rubles which is mainly needed by those who need military service to advance in their career. In the regions, as usual, the prices of military service certificates are lower – usually by 50-150 thousand rubles.

9/ As for the special operation itself, according to the intermediaries, Moscow enlistment offices charged about 1.5 million rubles [$18,900] for skipping mobilization.

10/ However, this did not give one hundred percent guarantees - the commissariats would simply put such clients at the end of the lists for the third wave of conscription." /end
