Officials are normal people: they want to have a comfortable old age. Their difference from other citizens is that they know how to secure it. The President of Yakutia, sent at the end of May, will receive about 720 thousand rubles a year. Moscow mayor Yuri Luzhkov, if retirement, can count on 80% of his current content - about 528 thousand rubles. The Rostov Governor Vladimir Chub took care of his future before retired. After 20 years of reign, he claims to be monetary compensation and preferences in the amount of up to 9 million rubles. But the opposition and taxpayers are against. The chances of the parties were appreciated by The New Times
The law “On guarantees, the head of the regional administration, which has terminated the execution of their powers and members of his family” was adopted by the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov Region on June 10. Four days later, Vladimir Chub, who headed the Rostov region since 1991, left the governor’s chair: President Medvedev did not rejoice him for the fifth (sic!). The Kremlin, apparently, decided: Chub worked. Local deputies, however, considered it not. If you believe the numbers that appear in the financial and economic justification of the bill, the total amount of the content of their recent chief in terms of real rubles and a penny can amount to 9.2 million rubles a year.
By the coffin of life
These millions are formed as follows: the governor will be paid for spa treatment, medical care, life and health insurance, including family members. Everything, of course, is due to the budget. The retirement will receive up to 825 thousand rubles per year to maintain a service car. For the use of official delegations of airports and stations - 43 thousand, 286 thousand for security and all this, in addition to a lifelong monthly allowance, which is 80% of the salary of the current governor (now about 250 thousand rubles a month). But that's not all. If desired, the retirement can provide a service premises for work, the necessary office equipment, and furniture. There is also no need to stand in lines for an appointment with officials. Chuba endowed the right to freely visit all power institutions, as well as an urgent admission to officials. “We did not establish guarantees for Vladimir Chube personally,” said Alexander Ishchenko, chairman of the committee on legislation, state construction, local self -government and law enforcement. - Whoever was the governor, he is seriously limited in actions during the execution of his powers. These restrictions are compensated for financial guarantees. Of course, while Vladimir Chub worked, we did not ask this question. But when there was a need, they came to the conclusion that the law is needed. ”
According to Ishchenko, the amount of 9.2 million is the maximum and will not increase. It includes all types of expenses. And the expenses can be less: suddenly the governor will refuse, for example, from lifelong maintenance, vouchers or car. “A set of guarantees was seriously discussed,” continues Alexander Ishchenko. “We refused a lot: in the law there is neither State Duma, nor an official apartment, nor one hundred percent payment of utilities.”
The people are against
Don taxpayers did not even arrange a cut version of guarantees. As soon as the law was adopted, the famous Rostov journalist Sergei Reznik published in his blog an open letter to the new head of the region Vasily Golubev with a request not to sign the law. “The exercise of the rights and freedoms of one person and a citizen at the expense of the budget of the Rostov region will violate the rights and freedoms of other persons living in the region ... It would be fair if the deputies of the WC, many of whom were far from poor people, laid out their personal money ...” - the letter said. Reznik gathered 160 people, journalists, public figures, ordinary citizens under the appeal. On the Rostov Internet sites, several thousand people have already left their signatures. Despite this, on June 15, on the first working day after the inauguration, Vasily Golubev was envious of the law. Now citizens demand its cancellation.
“The ruling party created a system in which it is difficult to live on one pension. So they adopt individual laws for the elect, ”says Alexei Tsvenko, chairman of the Rostov Regional Union of Trade Unions of Russia, Aleksey Zivenko. - Personally, I evaluate the work of Vladimir Chube as bad. All spheres of power in the Rostov region are struck by corruption. Why does he have life guarantees? We will seek the abolition of this unfair and shameful law through the regional referendum, the court. Already prepared an appropriate application. We reported our position to the speaker of the Federation Council Sergei Mironov, they wrote to Dmitry Medvedev on a blog ... "
The Rostov Communists also opposed the law on guarantees: they demand to cancel the “financial” articles of the law, leaving retirees only the right to freely visit authorities. “We consider it wrong that such huge privileges are provided to a citizen who does not fulfill any duties,” Vladimir Bessonov, head of the Communist Party faction of the Communist Party of the Communist Party in the Rostov Region, told The New Times. According to him, amendments to the law on guarantees have already been submitted to the regional legislative assembly. The meeting will take place on July 15. “We also collect signatures for the abolition of the law,” Bessonov said. - Perhaps, before the start of the Session of the Legislative Assembly, we will also hold a public action of protest. A change in the law will allow the regional budget to save considerable funds. It is better to send them to the organization of free hot meals in Don schools. ” According to the chairman of the Legislative Assembly of the Rostov Region, Viktor Deryabkin, it is possible that some of the articles of expenses of the law on guarantees on July 15 will be really revised. “We will consider the bill introduced by the Communists. So far, no one can say exactly how much the law will require - there was only a preliminary reference. We discussed with Governor Vasily Golubev the possibility of reducing expenses. It is possible that by the next meeting of the Legislative Assembly we will see a completely different picture, ”Deryabkin is sure.
Reliable rear
Even the former head of the region, Vladimir Chub, admits that the amount of 9.2 million rubles for its maintenance is great. “I think I will not use it in such a volume,” he told The New Times. Such modesty from the former head of the region has its explanations: as follows from the published tax return, in 2009 the income of the wife of ex-governor Zoe Chub amounted to 175 million rubles. Together with the daughter of Tatyana, she is the co -founder of LOZA LLC, which runs three restaurants, and owns the Rostov camping company (organization of entertainment and rest). In addition, Zoya Chub owns a network of hairdressers in Rostov-on-Don. So, even if the Rostov opposition succeeds in July 15 to take part of the pension privileges from Chube, he may not worry about his future.
