A young mother was offered a contract with the Ministry of Defense after her child was given a place in a kindergarten.

Resident Kaliningrad by name Hope said Olga, On her Instagram, she wrote that she received a call from the military recruitment office offering her a contract, in exchange for which she was promised an income of over 3 million rubles. She said this happened right after the kindergarten called her and informed her that her child had been accepted into the educational institution. 

"They said to me, 'Hello, this is the military registration and enlistment office. We saw that your child was given a place in kindergarten. We'd like to offer you a contract starting at 3 million rubles.'" — the girl shares. 

According to her, after she refused, the man interrupted her and tried to persuade her to change her mind. When she argued that she had a child, he replied that the state would take care of him. Furthermore, she was asked to go to the military registration and enlistment office and sign a written refusal to sign the contract.

This is not the first time that women are recruiting to war, but previously this usually happened either to women in military-required professions or to university students, where there is now active recruitment of students into the UAV forces. 

According to Ivan Chuvilyaev, a representative of the "Go to the Forest" project, Nadezhda most likely filled out a questionnaire asking, "If we asked you to sign a contract, how would you feel about it?" He says this is a common practice these days. 

"A person ticks a box, and that's it. Maybe a woman ticked a box and got noticed, and that's how she got caught up in this call," — Chuvilyaev told NeMoskva.

He doesn't think it's related to registering a child for kindergarten, unless the kindergarten is overseen by some law enforcement agency where all parents are asked to sign a contract by default. 

In the comments below the video, both the author and other commentators suggested that it could have been a scam, but Ivan Chuvilyaev rules this out, as it's unclear what the scammers stand to gain from such an action.
