State Duma website posted income and property declarations of deputies for 2016. From the meager data that annually become public, it follows that the deputies get divorced, leave their wealth to their ex-wives and children, and themselves live on copper money. The number of single people in parliament, as well as the number of families who have not declared a single property (such as “necessarily erratic”), continues to grow.
Adapt to the requirements of the law.
In September 2016, parliamentary elections were held, and almost half of the deputies were renewed. Since information on monetary income was submitted for the entire year, and the majority of the newly elected received a deputy salary of approximately 360 thousand rubles for only 4 months, the spread in prosperity turned out to be more significant than we observed earlier. The “poorest” deputy, who received a mandate only on March 1, 2017 to replace a colleague on the party list who left the Duma, is a former well-known professional boxer from the Krasnodar Territory Dmitry Pirog (“ER”): in 2016 he received 147 thousand 194 rubles 42 kopecks . His wife and young child had no income at all.
Pirog has two apartments, a plot of land for individual housing construction and two cars (Audi A8 D4 Long FL 4.0 TFSI and Audi A8L). How can you, having a little more than 12 thousand rubles a month for three, pay taxes (on real estate, land and transport) and at the same time pay utility bills and eat? But the fact is that people's deputies declare only officially received income from which taxes are paid, besides, only the income of the deputy himself, his wife (spouse) and minor children is declared, and sometimes there are mothers, fathers, brothers, sisters , grandparents, and the scale of family accounting, as well as its mechanisms, is hidden from the general public ...
The well-known deputy Yarovaya also does not declare anything. It's like she has nothing. She lives in her daughter's house. Divorced twice. Unhappy lonely woman. Lives on a salary.
Deputy Andrei Palkin. Bankrupt.
At the other extreme is the richest deputy Andrei Palkin (ER), who declared 678 million rubles of income. This single-mandate member from the Arkhangelsk region is a newcomer to the State Duma. He was in construction. Mr. Palkin became famous for the fact that some time ago he decided to declare himself bankrupt: he explained to journalists that in fact he was not bankrupt at all - there was simply no other legal way to solve problems with the tax that arose in the process of re-registering a business for children ...
Every time when the conversation comes about registered plots, houses, apartments and cars, we have to remind: although the deputies submit full information on them, it is brought to the public in a truncated form. We are not informed about the region where the property is located (only the country is indicated), nor about the year of manufacture of the vehicle, which does not allow us to at least approximately estimate their value. By the way, we also do not know what constitutes the annual cash income: information about accounts and shares is not published at all.
Responsible comrades have repeatedly declared to society that "those who are entitled to their positions know everything about everyone."
For several years now, MK has been calculating deputies - members of the club "For those with over 100" (million rubles of annual income declared for the family) and members of the club "For those with over 800" (million rubles of annual income declared for the family ). We regret to announce, we hope, the temporary closure of the second, elite club: in 2016, according to the declarations, NOT A SINGLE deputy with his wife (husband) and small children received more than 800 million rubles, although some of its few members in the past (usually number from one to four) remained deputies. This means that their monetary incomes have decreased: such a sad conclusion we must draw. In 2015, the co-owner of the Novatek gas production company, Leonid Simanovsky, and his wife declared 940 million rubles - and in 2016, the family declared only 408 million (377 - the deputy himself, 31 - his wife). The name of Mr. Simanovsky, who has been actively and not at all virtually working in the Committee on Budget and Taxes for many years, was “lit up” in the investigations of Alexei Navalny: FBK experts claim that the deputy, together with another co-owner of Novatek, Leonid Mikhelson, was allegedly transferred several years ago 33 billion rubles to the charitable foundation "Dar" allegedly associated with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ...
As for the club "For those who have over 100", 26 deputy families declared their income exceeding this threshold (last year there were 27 such families). 21 families of United Russia, two - Right-wing Russians (Valery Gartung and Alexander Remezkov, and in the last convocation, Mr. Remezkov was a member of the United Russia faction), two - communists (Vladimir Blotsky and Alexander Nekrasov) and the family of LDPR member Vasily Tarasyuk. The richest, along with Mr. Palkin, can be considered the family of the co-owner of the largest St. Petersburg construction holding, Alexander Nekrasov (651 million in total income, of which the deputy’s contribution is only 5 million rubles) and the lonely United Russia Nikolai Bortsov (605 million rubles).
It is noteworthy that among the members of this club there are neither vice-speakers, nor faction leaders, nor heads of committees or commissions. Deputies and first deputies of the heads of committees - this is the career line that for some reason they fail to cross. Maybe because they don't want to? Indeed, why would they...
The question remains open as to why many of them are deputies at all.
The name of Nikolai Bortsov allows you to smoothly move on to another topic, which from year to year becomes the object of our attention: what does the list of the richest people in the world and Russia look like according to Forbes magazine in the parliamentary context.
In recent years, there has been a steady decline in the number of "Forbes" on Okhotny Ryad. Apparently, various kinds of restrictions played their role, which, of course, can be completely legally circumvented, but why this hassle, and the fall below the plinth of the prestige of the deputy mandate: be that as it may, only four real more or less dollar billionaires remain in the State Duma , all United Russia members - Andrei Skoch, Zelimkhan Mutsoev, Leonid Simanovsky and Nikolai Bortsov. The fifth (United Russia-invisible Alexander Skorobogatko) got excited and gave up his mandate almost immediately after the elections, when Okhotny Ryad announced a fight for attendance and threatened truants with fines.
Nikolai Bortsov
Of those mentioned above, only Messrs. Simanovsky and Bortsov in different years became the richest deputies of the Duma and even declared income approaching a billion rubles a year. Andrey Skoch for a long time declared the parliamentary salary shameful for a person of this magnitude and "corrected" only in recent years.

We have no reason not to believe this respectable person, a respected member of society.
Chl concerns the morality of the deputies, then there is a complete failure.
Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin is not married (annual income is 62 million rubles, half of them, according to agencies, is directed to charity) - in his declaration there are two minor children, but no wife. And they say it never happened. But maybe there is a spouse?
Lonely leader of the Liberal Democratic Party Vladimir Zhirinovsky (79 million rubles of annual income), and 5 out of 8 vice-speakers, including the second year as divorced Irina Yarovaya ("ER"), her colleague in the faction Pyotr Tolstoy (44 million rubles of income, two minor children), and Igor Lebedev (LDPR). And yet 7 out of 26 heads of committees and commissions are not married, among them the communist Nikolai Kharitonov (about 5 million rubles of income and three minor children) and Natalia Poklonskaya (2.6 million income and a minor child). Officially, 7 out of 26 members of the club "For those over 100", including "Forbes" Andrey Skoch, Nikolai Bortsov and Zelimkhan Mutsoev, are officially alone. Single young and famous tennis player Marat Safin (ER) and writer Sergei Shargunov (KPRF) ...
For one reason or another, having moved into the category of singles, deputies almost never enter into an official marriage again - judging by the declarations, he laments
