Why get into the family wallet? When businessmen go to work for a government agency, they often transfer the business to their spouses. Or suddenly the “other halves” of officials, whose careers have taken off, simultaneously discover incredible entrepreneurial talents. By the way, the record for the “hundred” is 30 billion rubles, which was reported in 2010 businesswoman and part-time wife of the then mayor of Moscow Elena Baturina, - has not yet been beaten (material about how fortunes are made in the power “cells of society.”
Meanwhile, if in 2010 our “hundred” ended with one of the members of the Federation Council with a family income of 17 million rubles, now the “poorest” in the Top 100 is a State Duma deputy with an income of more than 140 million rubles. And over the course of a year, the “passing barrier” for getting into the rating increased by 38 million! The country's GDP is falling, medicines and food prices are rising, but the elite, apparently, does not care about the crisis.
Moreover, it is clear that not all officials and deputies disclosed everything they had acquired. How many times has AiF written about property and income hidden in offshore companies, registered in the name of distant relatives and adult children (no need to account for them) or wives, which some servants of the people unexpectedly turn out to be exes (no need to talk about them either). The State Duma calculated: out of 450 deputies from 2011 to 2016, 102 got divorced! It is interesting that almost none of them made it into the “golden hundred”. Coincidence?
The Top 100 includes 6 members of the federal government, 2 heads of the region, 27 deputies of the State Duma and members of the Federation Council, 54 deputies of regional legislative assemblies, 11 representatives of municipal authorities. This is a trend in recent years: supermillionaires in power are increasingly being found in the regions and even in small towns. However, there is a suspicion that not all “heroes” received the reward of being included in the “golden hundred” of AiF. The law does not stipulate the obligation to publish information about income for all municipal deputies. This loophole was used, for example, by the majority of deputies of the Nizhny Novgorod City Duma. Messrs. people's representatives, do you have something to hide?
“This year, deputies of all levels, including village ones, must submit an income declaration,” AiF explained. Sergei Neverov, Secretary of the United Russia General Council, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma. - Failure to comply with this requirement leads to early termination of powers; there are already precedents (for example, a deputy of the Council of the Sushansky settlement of the Borovichi district of the Novgorod region lost his mandate. V. Baburin.- Ed.). As for the publication of this information, United Russia stands for maximum openness in this matter. Declaration data must be made public.” AiF, of course, fully supports this position.
Oleg Plokhoy, Head of the Presidential Anti-Corruption Department:
The filing of declarations ended in May, it is still too early to sum up the results; the submitted information on income, expenses and property is being analyzed. But we can note several differences between the 2016 declaration campaign and last year. Held certain changes legislation. Thus, the number of persons submitting declarations has increased. The obligation to provide information on income and comply with other anti-corruption requirements has now been extended to those who hold positions in regional authorities and at the municipal level on a non-permanent - free - basis (for example, some deputies of regional parliaments and municipal councils - ed.). Those who shirk this duty will be stripped of their authority.
To clarify the details of the declaration campaign this year, new methodological recommendations on issues of reporting income, as well as a review of the practice of bringing to justice for non-compliance with anti-corruption requirements of the law.
By September, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation plans to prepare proposals for improving the mechanism for turning into state income property whose legal origin the official is not able to confirm.
In total, in 2015, about 1.6 million employees submitted information about income, expenses and property. In cases where doubts arose about the completeness and reliability of the information provided, they were verified. As a result of 127 thousand inspections carried out, 28.7 thousand employees were identified who violated anti-corruption requirements. At the end of last year, more than 18 thousand. officials were prosecuted for corruption offences. Mainly (17 thousand people), for violating the requirements for declaring income and expenses. About 1 thousand employees were punished in connection with violation of requirements to prevent conflicts of interest. 461 employees were dismissed for gross violations of anti-corruption legislation due to loss of trust. For the first time last year, the courts considered 11 statements of claim prosecutor's office on the conversion of undeclared property of employees to state income in the amount of over 129 million rubles. At the moment, decisions have been made to recover the amount of 54 million rubles.

Igor Shuvalov rich official
While the people are forced to tighten their belts, Russian politicians and high-ranking officials are increasing their wealth. Thus, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Government sends his dogs on a special flight to international exhibitions, writes Die Welt columnist Eduard Steiner - The incredible wealth of Russian officials
« It's no secret that the heads of Russian concerns can be fabulously rich. However, in order to make an incredible fortune in Russia, you don’t have to be an oligarch. , for example, he is not an oligarch or a “businessman”, as they say in Russia. He is a politician and, holding the post of Deputy Prime Minister in the government, is one of the close associates of the Russian president. This is enough to accumulate untold wealth,” notes the author.
In Zarechye, a village not far from Moscow, Shuvalov is called only “investor.” And it is no coincidence that the politician, formerly one of Putin’s economic advisers, is building a gigantic palace there.
Shuvalov Palace near Moscow One version of how the Russian Deputy Prime Minister got so much money says that Shuvalov used insider information when buying and selling assets through offshore companies - which is an obvious violation of the law. Shuvalov himself always denied this information. He also did not comment on the information about the alleged transactions with Gazprom securities, from which he allegedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars. The income of the Shuvalov family last year, according to official data, amounted to 2.7 million euros (190 million rubles), Steiner reports.
This politician, the author of the publication continues, leads the lifestyle of a real oligarch. For example, 49-year-old Shuvalov loves to travel the skies on a private plane, which is not specified in the declaration. In addition, he and his wife Olga use it to send their purebred pets, corgi dogs, to international exhibitions.
As the “fearless opposition leader” Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Foundation managed, this plane flew 18 times last year to Salzburg, near which Shuvalov owns a luxurious villa, as well as to Riga, Prague and Cyprus.
Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov's dogs fly on a private plane Photo: navalny.com Olga Shuvalova does not deny that her dogs take part in international exhibitions and are delivered there by private plane. They defend the honor of Russia at international level, says Mrs. Shuvalova. The wife of the Russian Deputy Prime Minister, however, does not comment on whether the plane is owned by the family or just rented. According to Navalny, the purchase of the plane would cost Shuvalov $62 million.
For comparison: US President Barack Obama earned about 458 thousand euros in 2012. Angela Merkel's position provides an income of 16.8 thousand euros per month, of which she must pay taxes - 5.6 thousand. In addition, the chancellor receives 1 thousand euros monthly to reimburse expenses. Francois Hollande, the article says, earns 14.9 thousand euros per month. In addition, according to the French president himself, he owns real estate worth a total of 1.17 million euros and several bank accounts.
Igor Shuvalov is one of those Russian politicians who amassed capital in an inexplicable way
In early July, Navalny’s foundation revealed facts related to the fact that Shuvalov bought an entire floor with ten apartments in an elite “Stalinist” high-rise overlooking the Kremlin. In addition, Shuvalov has an apartment of 500 square meters in London. m.
The Tsar Apartment of Igor Shuvalov costs as much as 600 ordinary apartments Photo: navalny.com Those who are at a level below the deputy prime minister in Russian politics can also get rich. For example, Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, received a scolding from the “master” after his vacation on a luxury yacht and expensive watch attracted public attention. What can we say about what legends are formed around fabulous ones, the author writes.
The shamelessness with which the country's political elite gains access to untold wealth becomes especially clear in the example of the children of leading Russian politicians. This and profitable places on leadership positions, and the acquisition of shares in large concerns.
Entrepreneurs in Russia are still at the mercy of officials. “Those who do not comply may end up behind bars. Anyone who indulges in excess and criticizes the authorities may lose his company. In April of this year, investigators conducted searches in the office of the Onexim holding company, owned by Mikhail Prokhorov, allegedly he was suspected of tax evasion. This action followed revelations in Prokhorov-owned media about Putin's ties to offshore shell companies. A few days later, this information appeared in the Panama Papers, the author reports. According to the latest data, Prokhorov intends to sell all his shares in Russian companies.
Shuvalov’s statement made at the beginning of last year, when the economic situation in the country began to deteriorate, sounded almost cynical: the Deputy Prime Minister interpreted this as an opportunity for Russia. The crisis, the politician said, will become an incentive for economic reforms, and anti-Russian sanctions have united Russian society, which provides the country's leadership with political support and facilitates the implementation of unpopular but necessary reforms, Steiner reports.
Meanwhile, Shuvalov’s plane and dogs attracted the attention of both the public and parliamentarians. State Duma deputy Oleg Shein appealed to Russian Prime Minister Medvedev with a request to check the information of the Anti-Corruption Foundation. If the head of government believes that renting a plane by the deputy prime minister’s family to transport animals to international exhibitions improves their reputation Russian government, then, Shein writes, the Prime Minister may not respond to this letter.
