If Russia is forced to cut the sign-up bonuses, this could be huge.

But considering recruitments are down by 60% already before the incentive drop it doesn't look like it's related to imminent financial woes - more like a way to save money from a policy that shows signs of outliving it's usefulness since it doesn't seem to attract much interest anymore.

Usually thought if interest is waning then it's typical for the financial incentive to be increased rather than cut so it may allude to some financial issues.

Right, and it's basically the first indication that Russia isn't willing to just throw $$$ at a problem, that there is finally a limit to the financial madness that putin has brought.
