Russian Army Contract Service Booklet

Official SMO-era tri-fold propaganda brochure created by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in 2023. It was widely distributed across Russian regions to promote voluntary contract enlistment during the Ukraine war.

The green booklet features a soldier in helmet, hotline number “117”, and patriotic messaging. It provides a detailed process for joining the army via contract, including:

• Where and how to apply (in-person, online, госуслуги)

• Eligibility (age 18+, health requirements)

• 5-step entry process

• Full list of required documents

The reverse page contains a Ukraine war military pay chart, showing monthly salaries based on position. For example:

• ₽242,000 – Deputy Platoon Commander

• ₽226,000 – Instructor or Radio Chief

• ₽219,000–211,000 – Rifleman, Machine Gunner, Cook, Driver, Grenade Operator

This item combines patriotic tone with state-endorsed financial promise — a clear tool of internal mobilization propaganda.

Historical Background:

This Russian Army Contract Service Booklet was part of a nationwide mobilization effort to support troop levels during the Ukraine conflict. Such brochures targeted young men and veterans with job offers masked as patriotic duty.

The content, including salary tables and streamlined application methods, reflects how Russia merged military enlistment with economic incentives and psychological pressure. It is now considered a key relic of SMO recruitment propaganda.
