"Putin is very lean, and Khloponin is Krasava"

Russian officials claim that they have stopped getting rich: according to published income information, the government’s employees were smarterful. The richest was Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Khloponin, who earned 484 014 080 rubles in 2011, and his wife-4,802,619 rubles. The head of government, future President Vladimir Putin declared 3,661,765 rubles - almost one and a half times less than in 2010 (5,042,000 rubles). Lyudmila Putin, on the contrary, had a little rich - 443,000 rubles in 2011 against 146,000 rubles a year earlier.

Russian bloggers calculated and discussed the earnings of officials.

"It is not good, of course, to count other people's money. But the amount of income of some officials is perplexed," writes @igorstrakhov . @Sergyakovlev is glad for successful and wealthy people: "I am watching new information about the income of officials and again, I am touched again, what successful wives have :)". "The government report in the State Duma. It is a pity the total shadow income of all members of the government will not sound. That would be the news of the day ..." - complains @a_ostrovskiy . "It began! Declarations on the income of officials were published and rushed to the media - who married, divorced, where the son, daughter. Is disgusting," is upset @Russian1972 .

“All the same, we scold Putin in vain. We call us a homeless man and an inept,” says Piligrim67 . - In fact, he is smart. Economic. Able to plan correctly. And he is very lean. And therefore, it is not surprising that earning three with a small million Russian rubles a year, he has all kinds of good $ 130 billion. They say that this is not only him. Well, right - such a stringing owner and his wife is thrifty. And children. And friends. Our country was lucky with the president !!! ".

"Putin's income in 2011 decreased by almost 2 million rubles. But what about the law of preserving Putin's income in nature? Where did you surf?" - Investcafe is perplexed. "This is what is happening - Putin was reduced to Putin, and Sechin was generally impoverished, robbed, or what? !!!" - He echoes him RFPFR7.

"Medvetuts accepted a vow not to say a word of truth and only this is their driving force!" - believes Evgeny Alexandrovich . “On the radio, in the news, they transmit a summary of Putin’s income, fleet, etc. The announcer himself almost laughs in a voice,” writes @olga_shon .

"Putin and Medvedev cannot go to Astrakhan for a rally. According to their declarations, they have no money for tickets. Navalny" dispose "to them from the state department budget!" - Naughty @rvipkin . “An annoying typo crept into today's message. You should correctly read:“ Waste declaration, ”informs @ruspatriarch .

Some bloggers are sincerely happy for Khloponin. "Khloponin-handsome! :-) No one is afraid of anyone ... Earnings, man! Not like the rest ..."-writes @klepa_ak47 .

"In Russia, cases have become more frequent when large officials were dying of laughter when filling out an income declaration,"- VSV_45VSV-45 . "The only exception to this dull list of losers is the Deputy Prime Minister, the president’s envoy in the North Caucasus Federal District and the real Macho Alexander Khloponin,"- Persona_Gratapersona-Grata . "Maybe Khloponin will share his income with the poor from the same Chechnya? Will finally start organizing jobs?" - believes BVV13 .

GLEB-SST gives a thorough analysis: “Higher officials reported on income. Putin earned more Medvedev. But Medvedev’s wife had no money in bank accounts before, and now there are 26 rubles 76 kopecks. Another is upset.
Deputy Prime Minister Kozak earned 3 million rubles, and his wife-6.9 million.
Sechin - 3 million, and the wife - 9 million.
Serdyukov - 2.76 million, and the wife - 15.8 million.
Zubkov - 3.77 million, and his wife - 21 million.
Shoigu - 5 million, and the wife - 78 million.
Surkov - 5 million, and the wife - 125 million.
Shuvalov - 9.6 million, and the wife - 365 million.

Of course, we are far from the idea that state-owned husbands and their non-state wives have some left-wing, income unaccounted for declarations. We cannot even assume that wives' earnings somehow depend on the official position occupied by their husbands.

A sad conclusion suggests itself. The wives are talented, and for some reason their mediocre husbands take the deputy prime ministers and ministers. Machismo? Not sure. Some men earn normally. For example, the rector of the Higher School of Economics and the author of the book “Theses of Corruption” Kuzminov earned 13.8 million, and his wife - Minister Nabiullina - only 13.8 million. That is, the question here is not gender, but personnel. Not only wives, but also husbands of ministers are more capable of ministers. Putin talks about updating the government. It seems that I realized what he has in mind. "
