On the report of the RPR-Parnas "Communal Tariffs, Putin and Gazprom"
On the report of the RPR-Parnas "Communal Tariffs, Putin and Gazprom" February 4, 2014, Boris Nemtsov 
On Tuesday, the Party of the RPR-Parnas presented the report "Communal Tariffs, Putin and Gazprom." The conclusions are disappointing. Over the years of Putin’s reign, housing and communal tariffs have grown 20 times, ahead of an increase in citizens' income by one and a half times. The growth of communal tariffs is inextricably linked with the price of gas, the fee for which is 30% of the housing and communal tariff. The increase in gas prices is caused by high corruption inside Gazprom, exorbitant salaries and luxury, which the company's managers surrounded themselves, non -core assets, unprofessional management team, and scams with the withdrawal of assets in favor of Putin's friends.
The state program of a sharp increase in gas prices within the country is to the European level. The appetites of Gazprom are constantly growing. At the same time, its capitalization falls. Since 2007, Gazprom has fallen three times in price - from 300 to 100 billion dollars. Gazprom spends fabulous money on pipeline scams. The most screaming and absolutely unnecessary scam is with a “southern stream”, the price of which is 2 trillion 700 billion rubles, almost twice as high as the cost of the most expensive in the world of the Olympics. "South Stream" is absurd. Gazprom already has excessive export capacities that are half empty now. It is no less absurd and the construction of a pipe to China, which does not want to buy expensive Putin gas and does not conclude a contract for its supply. And they are still going to build a pipe, having paid 1.4 trillion rubles for it. The only source of money for Gazprom after the failure of export to Europe we are with you. Our report "Public Tariffs. Putin and Gazprom", which is presented on February 4 in the Party of the RPR -Parnas - http://svobodanaroda.org/statement/4413/ .

On Tuesday, the Party of the RPR-Parnas presented the report "Communal Tariffs, Putin and Gazprom." The conclusions are disappointing. Over the years of Putin’s reign, housing and communal tariffs have grown 20 times, ahead of an increase in citizens' income by one and a half times. The growth of communal tariffs is inextricably linked with the price of gas, the fee for which is 30% of the housing and communal tariff. The increase in gas prices is caused by high corruption inside Gazprom, exorbitant salaries and luxury, which the company's managers surrounded themselves, non -core assets, unprofessional management team, and scams with the withdrawal of assets in favor of Putin's friends.
The party proposes to conduct an independent examination of the financial and economic situation of Gazprom, the effectiveness of the work of its management, a comprehensive analysis of all gas pipeline megaprojects. A serious and deep demonopolization of the Russian gas market is needed. Gazprom’s gas transportation system should be brought to a separate company controlled by the state, the services of which all gas manufacturers can use the services on the same conditions. Prior to this, gas tariffs should be frozen.
Each of us pays monthly for housing and communal services. But not everyone knows that Gazprom takes 300 rubles from every thousand. At the same time, the growth of the communal tariff is largely determined by the cost of gas, and the government of Putin establishes this price. To date, gas prices within Russia were equal to American. But for the authorities this is not the limit. They want gas in Russia to cost as much as in Europe. This is what is written in the Decree of the Government No. 333 of 2007, which is realized with might and main. For Putin, Gazprom is a personal project. 10 of the 17 members of the company-immigrants from the St. Petersburg City Hall, the KGB and St. Petersburg Sea Port. Gazprom is in an extremely bred position: - the share of tax deductions from Gazprom revenue is 38% (for comparison: Rosneft has 56.5%). Tax benefit - 1 trillion rubles a year. If Gazprom paid, like oil companies, it would be possible to exempt all small and medium -sized businesses from taxes without prejudice to the budget. But, as they say, your shirt is closer to the body; - a subsidy from the budget for the purchase of Sakhalin gas for the supply of it to Vladivostok - more than 11 billion rubles annually; - Gas exports to Turkey through the Blue Stream gas pipeline is exempted from export duties. Damage to the Russian budget - 53 billion rubles.The state program of a sharp increase in gas prices within the country is to the European level. The appetites of Gazprom are constantly growing.

Nikolai Svanidze: This is an attempt to close the opportunity to leave our educated youth. This has its own pragmatic meaning, it is a “damper” to leave.
