Officials were given back their pre-crisis salaries
The crisis in Russia is over, at least for officials, writes RBC: For the first time since 2015, Vladimir Putin has not signed a decree on reducing the salaries of the presidential administration and government by 10%. In 2015, for the first time, the president cut the salaries of himself and top officials, including his administration, government, senators and deputies, and has since signed this decree every year. From January 1, 2019, senior officials receive a full salary.
