Only the poor are fighting. Why Russia will be able to do without mobilization at all

More than half of the population of Russia is people with low income. From there, writes analyst Alexei Kushch, there is a basic replenishment of the Russian army, and this flow is not exhausted soon, making mobilization absolutely unnecessary according to various estimates, in the Russian army attracts from 30 to 40 thousand contractors a month, which receive 200 thousand in the war zone rubles per month.

Where does this mobilization reserve come from? Its presence is explained by the structure of income of the population of the Russian Federation. The share of Russians with income of more than 100 thousand rubles per month reached the maximum value for the entire time of statistics and was 7. 4%. The group with income from 60K to 100k was 15. 3%. With income from 45k to 60K - 13. 5%. The largest group is a population with 27K to 45k. This is 27. 4%. Further, from 19k to 27K - 16. 1%.

With income from 10k to 19k - 15. 9%. Minimum income (up to 10K) - only 4. 4%. It is clear that some of the population are pensioners, women, disabled people who will not go into the army. But there is a group of male population with income from 19k a month, ie from $ 200, to $ 45k ($ 500). If you take both men and women, it is 57%. This is this group and forms the potential for voluntary contract "mobilization" in the Russian Federation. And it is quite numerous. These are millions of people conscript.
