They would be included in the Naval Infantry & Coastal Troops being subordinate to the Navy Command.

My take on the present military personnel totals in the Russian Ministry of Defense:
– officers and warrants. In 2016 Deputy Defense Minister Pankov stated that when they talked about military staffing level ( ie, 95%), they were referring to the cadre of officers and warrants not the overall total. (218,000)
– contract servicemen (405,000)
– conscripts (228,000)
– military school cadets (62,000 – 1,300 foreign = 60,700)
- University students taking military training at Civilian Higher Education establishments Military Departments (96 – ROTC similar). Of the last posted total of 61,200 (2018-2019), 10,500 were studying to become Regular Officers while the rest become Reserve Officers, Warrants or Sergeants upon graduation (provided there is not a shortage and Regular service is required). Apparently this training period and reserve service counts against or in lieu of national service (conscription). Not sure how this group counts against the authorized military totals.
The above totals would give an active operational force of ~850,000 and a potential overall total of 910-970,000. A year ago, the Head of Mobilization and Organization had stated the active total was just over 830,000. When you factor in another planned 70,000 contractors and 10,000 or so Officers then you would be over the planned authorized strength of 1,013,628.

Defense Ministry cuts severance pay for conscripts
The severance pay for conscripts dismissed from military service will be reduced to one salary and will amount to 2 thousand rubles. This follows from the draft order of the Ministry of Defense posted on the federal portal of draft regulatory documents.
The draft order should amend Article 160 "The procedure for providing monetary allowances to servicemen of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and providing them and their family members with separate payments." At present, this article determines that when conscripted into the reserve, conscripts receive an allowance in the amount of two salaries for a military position. In the new edition, "two salaries" will be replaced by "one salary".
Thus, conscripts discharged to the reserve, instead of 6 thousand, which consisted of the salary for the last month and two additional ones, will receive 4 thousand, i.e. one salary for the last month and one additional.
The military department said that the draft of the new order was prepared in order to implement the provisions of the Federal Laws of March 1, 2020 and "will not change the procedure for providing monetary allowances to servicemen, as well as providing them with separate payments, established by the Russian Ministry of Defense."
Earlier, the Russian government set the size of monthly salaries in accordance with the military positions held by servicemen doing military service on conscription in the RF Armed Forces, at 2,000 rubles.
NOTE: in case you were curious of what a Russian conscript got paid. Not many years ago the figure was 1,000 rubles.

1000 roubles?
Boy that would have been rich for my day
I distinctly remember the pay being enough for some toothpaste, a spare toilet roll and a few candies

Apparently the 2020 Fall draft will be for 128,000 conscripts as opposed to 132,000 in 2019. Official start date is October 1st although the Spring draft was over a month late starting due to Covid. The Spring Draft was for 135,000 conscripts. Last years (2019) totals were 135,000 (Spring) and 132,000 (Fall).

To be clear I don't like that you got such a small pay FP, but liked that you shared your experience...
