Salary of the President of Russia: official data and estimates
What is the salary of the President of Russia? Simple, it would seem, a question. By the way, according to the weekly "Business Life", the salary of the President of Russia at the beginning of this year was 128.3 thousand rubles a month. Or, if you count in the dollar equivalent, $ 4,300. But this is without additional payments, contributions, taxes, etc.
First, the indicative figure of $ 179,233 per year is the amount of income that Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the official declaration, received in 2012. Approximately the same amount of income is "planned" for 2013. Although, in principle, everything can change. It is known that Putin earned 3.662 million rubles in 2010, whereas in 2010 - 5.042 million. As it will be in 2013, it is impossible to predict exactly yet.
Secondly, if we speak from a formal legal point of view, Vladimir Putin does not have his salary as such. There is a so-called monetary content, the size of which is determined every year by the State Duma of the Russian Federation and prescribed in a separate line in the federal budget. If we assume that such a monetary content is the official salary of the president of Russia, then 1064019 rubles a year go out. Or somewhere $ 35,400 for 12 months. At the same time, the law on the state budget sets a separate line for "the functioning of the president of the Russian Federation", which is estimated at 8,019,207 rubles. As a result, it turns out that the head of state in 2013 will spend more than 9 million rubles.
However, judging by the official statements of the presidential administration, the salary of the president of Russia does not exceed 120 thousand dollars. USA per year. In any case, this is due to the fuzzy statements of the press secretary of the head of state Dmitry Peskov. Although this version seems most plausible.
