"The government is forced to dry the nails to the ministers at our expense." Why Russia is special

Why do ministers of luxury are 1.4 million rubles per day? How did the 1990s change the consciousness of Russians? What is the support of Putin's support? Why are the mayors the most unfortunate officials? What did Victor Tolokonsky do in the Council of Directors of the Russian Railways? How did Finland and South Korea live better than Russia?

See and listen to the previous issue: "The separation from the people only accumulates"

The head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov at the expense of the budget lived in a presidential issue in Shanghai for almost 1.4 million rubles per day

Alexey Mazur: “The wealth of power and those who seek power have ceased to surprise our fellow citizens 15–20 years ago. Before that, all the candidates and deputies were poor, like church mice. Judging by their declarations. They earned a penny, interrupted from bread to water and walked like flesh from the flesh of the people.

In the zero, they ceased to be shy about something, declared millions of monthly income. That is, a deputy who is running for voters, whose average income is 35 thousand rubles, showed a monthly income of 1 million rubles, and this did not cause any dissonance from him or voters.

What can we say about ministers? The minister performs great things, moves the economy forward (this is his self-awareness), tossed with billions, concludes agreements for some miserable percentage of these amounts, which he turns and enriches the whole country. What to say about this? The top managers of the state corporations, as you know, earn a lot, but if they do not appease them, they will immediately leave their posts and go to Apple, Microsoft, Google, where headhangers are waiting for them to pick up highly effective managers. And there they will receive even more and live in the same numbers. Therefore, our government is forced to dry the nails to its ministers at our expense. ”

“At the end of Soviet power, there was no such dissonance [between the life of officials and the poverty of the inhabitants] yet. At the same time, there was a huge indignation of the privileges of the nomenclature. And what were these for the privilege? Once a week they went, hiding, in a special distributor, they dragged some products there and went to personal “Volga”. This, of course, is a nightmare. And in the most wild fantasies, something like this number [Manturov] and generally the privileges that the current power have could not come. This began to develop somewhere in the middle or in the late 90s. It grew gradually, it became familiar - when simply space salaries are distributed as a bonus.

We remember this story with the former Novosibirsk governor and envoy Viktor Tolokonsky, who was first introduced to the board of directors of Russian Railways, and when he behaved incorrectly, he was immediately taken out. The question is, why should he be there at all? Is he a noble railwayman? What is the point? And he is clear - this is an honorary resignation [from the post of the Governor of the Krasnoyarsk Territory]. You have a position in which nothing needs to be done, but you will receive a lot of money. They are distributed not because someone is a big specialist. For feeding.

It has become familiar, people of “no coasts are no longer seeing”. Because they have only one such “shore” - this is Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. What is the characteristic of Manturov? He does not see what below. He has a boss, he is lowered by standards, he was hired to work, and at his managerial work - such standards. There are no special complaints about Manturov. He did not write the standards, and he did not call himself to work. And he did not write instructions to himself. This is a system, and Manturov is one of its extreme manifestations, but there are a lot of them. ”
