I haven’t heard any similar stories out of Russia

The Russian strategy is to recruit volunteers with (for Russian standards) very high salaries and lump sum payments, to make use of prisoners, and to pressure or coerce conscripts into signing contracts for the Russian forces fighting in Ukraine. The actual conscript force of the Russian military has been used very rarely, if at all, in the war.

Also North Koreans in Kursk.

And the poorer parts of Russia pay lower wages than Moscow.
