Job websites in Russia are advertising trench-digger roles in Kursk province as Russia hastily seeks to boost its defenses.
According to job adverts, first reported by the BCC, the postings call for "general workers" who can dig fortifications in the border region of Kursk.
The roles pay between 150,000-371,000 rubles (around $1,600-$4,000) a month.
It comes after Ukraine launched an audacious cross-border attack on Kursk last week, taking the Russian military by surprise. Ukraine says it has now advanced 390 square miles into Russian territory.
According to experts, Russia's response to the attack has been hampered by confused command structures and inexperienced troops.
But it's deploying extra soldiers to the region and building fortifications to stop Ukraine from advancing any further.
