Everything A Foreigner Need To Become A Soldier In Russia Armed Force by Cybercop2002: 11:12pm On Apr 30, 2021 |
To put it simple: you'll need to
be a good and strong person
with no legal issues back home.
In 2015, Russian president Vladimir
Putin signed a decree allowing any
foreign citizens to join the country’s
Armed Forces.
So, If you’re itching to start running with
a brand new AK-12 in notorious Ratnik-2
battle gear, here’s what you need to
know and what you need to do.
Passport
Since 2015, you DON’T need a Russian
passport to join Russia’s military - any
citizenship will work for you.
Age
In order to become a soldier in Russia
you have to be at least 18 and not older
than 30 years old.
Gender
The Russian Armed Forces welcomes
both men and women. Yet, no woman
will be running on a battlefield with an
AK-12 in her hands. Every woman who's
willing to become a soldier is welcome,
but only for work assigned to military
headquarters or as a nurse.
It’s worth mentioning that it doesn't
matter what kind of jobs women end up
being assigned to, they will also have to
pass all sorts of military training -
including running, shooting and learning
battle tactics. They are, however, basic
courses, which every soldier needs to
know.

Language
If you wish to become a “badass” with
an AK-12, you’ll have to train hard and
follow your instructors’ every command.
In order to do so, you MUST speak
Russian. You'll have to pass a Russian
language test to evaluate if it is possible
for you to serve in the Russian Armed
Forces. They take this issue very
seriously, so be aware that you will have
to seriously prepare for yourRussian
language test.
Legal Issues
This is another very important issue for
anyone wanting to join the military. The
Russian Armed Forces doesn't accept in
its ranks former convicts and people
involved in criminal or any other
jurisdictional investigations.
The bottom line is - only good guys with
good relations with their governments
are welcomed into Russia’s military.
Russian citizenship
If you're willing to become a Russian
citizen, joining the military is also an
option for you, because after five years
of service, you are eligible to get the
country's passport.

Contract
Your first contract with the Russian
Armed Forces is signed for FIVE years. So,
for this period of life, you won’t have to
worry about a job, money or medical
care (yes, every soldier and HIS/HER
FAMILY in Russia has health insurance
and is taken care of).
What rank can I reach?
Foreigners will serve on positions of
privates, corporals, sergeants and
sergeant-majors. In all honesty, you
won’t become a general or an admiral in
Russia.
Money
The minimum wage of a private is
around 30,000 rubles ($480). Wages
usually depend on the type of your
military unit and your region of service.
For example, people defending Russia in
the North get more than those serving in
the Moscow region.
A place to live
As long as you serve in the Russian
Armed Forces, you and your family will
be living in a military town located close
to your base. You will receive an
apartment, if you are bringing a family,
or a room, if you’re single.
Getting YOUR OWN place for
living
After three years of service, you’re able
to join a 20-year-long military mortgage
program. Simply put - as long as you
serve in the Russian Armed Forces, the
government will pay your mortgage and
in time you get yourself your own
apartment in Russia.
Can I join the FSB?
No. Foreigners can’t join services
engaged with information of national
importance, intelligence and secret
service issues.
Will I be fighting wars for
Russia?
Yes, you will.
There are no exclusions for foreign
soldiers in the Russian Armed Forces in a
case of war - these people WILL join the
ranks.
How do I sign up?
In order to sign up for the Russian
Armed Forces, you have to go to an
enlistment office in any Russian city. And
if your documents and paperwork are
good and you have no legal issues back
home, you’ll sign a contract, proceed
through a medical exam, pass
psychological tests and will then be sent
to a military unit best suited for a person
with your skills and qualifications. 1 Like |

I love their tactics and organizations, the secret is, it is still mordern day slavery, many dirty works in the military will be done by the foreign soldiers thereby keeping the best part for their citizens. Also, recruiting young men from any part of the world will give the country new idea and new information of how to handle certain situations in military intelligence. They want to copy U.S on this, and that is just one of the secret of U.S. |

Smiling. If only you knew the thoughts going through my mind. I read sometimes back that US has 5 billion megawatts of power. That 15MW per capita. China has 4 billion MW. That's 3MW per capita. Nigeria has 4,000MW for 206m people. That's 0.000019MW per capita. 4,000MW powers some airports across the world. Now imagine living in Japan where some airports use 4,000MW and someone is telling you that there is country, very hardworking, intelligent people. But all the 200m+ people are sharing what one airport here is sharing? Have you seen the living conditions of our armed forces? They buy their own uniforms. I spit on Nigeria. |
