1/ In another indication that a fresh wave of mobilisation may be coming, companies in Moscow are seeking to recruit an unprecedented number of specialists in managing military and mobilisation records – twice the peak number recorded during the last mobilisation. ⬇️ Image
3/ The Moscow-based news website MSK1 reports that there has been a record surge in adverts from employers to fill these roles. Before the war in Ukraine, the number of such vacancies on job search websites was only 10-16 per month.
3/ The Moscow-based news website MSK1 reports that there has been a record surge in adverts from employers to fill these roles. Before the war in Ukraine, the number of such vacancies on job search websites was only 10-16 per month.
4/ The start of mobilisation in September 2022 led to the number of advertised mobilisation specialist vacancies rising to 174 in October 2022, before dropping to 80-90 a month. However, in September 2023 a record 362 vacancies are being advertised.
5/ MSK1 provides several examples of such vacancies, paying between 40,000 rubles ($414) to 130,000 rubles ($1,348) per month. The following examples are from the website.hh.ru
6/ For instance, Moscow's state labour inspectorate is looking to pay 45-50,000 rubles for someone to carry out military registration and engage directly in mobilisation training. They will have to work with "secret paperwork" and organise anti-terrorism security measures.

7/ You don't need prior experience to work in this capacity at Moscow's Transport University but you'll only be paid 48,000 rubles to keep military records of employees and students, apply for deferments and interact with military registration and enlistment offices.
Image
Image
8/ Moscow's city government wants someone to lead its military registration bureau. It's offering 130,000 rubles for someone with three years of experience, a higher education and knowledge of the relevant legislation.
Image
Image
9/ The job holder's role will include registration and deregistration of employees, communication with commissariats, reporting, management of deferments and notification of employees about mobilisation orders.
10/ Another relatively highly-paid role in a similar capacity is being offered by Moscow's oil and gas production company. They will pay 100,000 rubles a month for someone to deal with everything related to mobilisation: events, documents, military records, deferments.
Image
Image
11/ The applicant is required to have at least three years of similar work experience and at least two years of experience in setting up military records in a large company. In addition, the CV should contain successful cases of “interaction with military commissariats.”
12/ These recruitments are likely motivated by recent amendments to the law, taking effect from 1 October 2023, that have greatly increased the level of fines that employers and citizens can face in relation to mobilisation.
13/ The first mobilisation was marred by numerous organisational difficulties, but since then the Russian government has put in place new measures and heavy fines for failing to comply, to ensure that future mobilisations are much more efficient.
14/ The new fines regime includes:

– failing to come to the military enlistment centre without a valid reason after being summoned - 10,000-30,000 ruble fine;
– evading medical examination or medical commission - 15,000-25,000 ruble fine;
15/ – loss or deliberately damage to a military card or other documents of military registration - 3,000-5,000 ruble fine;
– failing to send information about yourself to the military enlistment office if it has changed - 1,000-5,000 ruble fine;
16/ – failing to send information about your departure from Russia for more than six months to the military registration centre – 5,000-15,000 ruble fine;
17/ – failing to send information to the military enlistment office about travelling for more than three months - 10,000-20,000 ruble fine (applicable to people of conscription age and in case of active conscription)

1/ The Russian government has ordered 230,000 certificates for family members of deceased soldiers – a vast increase from the 23,716 it ordered in May 2023 and 5,777 in 2022. It likely illustrates the scale of the casualties it anticipates as the Ukraine war continues. ⬇️ Image
2/ Russia's Ministry of Labour and Social Protection (Mintrud) has listed an order for nearly a million certificates on the Russian government's procurement portal. As well as 230,000 for family members of the deceased, the order includes 757,305 combat veterans' certificates.
3/ According to the accompanying documentation, the certificates will be distributed as follows:

– 600,000 to the Ministry of Defence
– 86,805 to the Ministry of Social Protection
– 60,000 to the Ministry of Internal Affairs
– 10,000 to the Russian National Guard (Rosgvardia)
