Regardless of the type of government established in a particular state, any country lives according to a certain system, headed by a person. At the same time, this person is a representative of either a people or traditions. For example, the Queen of Great Britain. In fact, it is the only lever that controls the mechanism called "monarchy". However, in reality, all decisions taken come from the country's parliament. At the same time, the queen regularly receives her salary. She is an established tradition of Foggy Albion.
The salary of the President as an employee of the state apparatus
In democracies, the situation is a little different. Being an employee of the state apparatus, the president of a country also receives a salary. At the same time, he works out every ruble, peso or rupee, as they say, "from A to Z." The salary of the president of the Russian Federation or another country is not announced aloud to anyone, however, interested parties can easily find this figure. For example, in the annual budget. This document contains this line,as "Expenses for the functioning of the head of state". From year to year, the budget undergoes changes and amendments, and introduces new articles and lines into its content. However, this part of the cost is always in the first place.
Approximate budget line item
However, the figure, which is located in this line, will only approximately show us the real salary of the head of state. Why? Firstly, the annual budget is a kind of business plan in which all expenditure items are calculated for the future and are only approximate. When compiling this document, analysts rely on such concepts as inflation, crises, the growth of various tax rates, state duties, and so on. At the same time, it is impossible to predict with absolute accuracy the level of many instruments that affect future costs. For example, in 2005, the annual budget planned to spend 4.1 billion rubles on the article being described. In fact, about 5.9 billion rubles were spent.
Secondly, the salary of the President of the Russian Federation in this line is only part of it. "Costs for the functioning of the head of state" also include the costs of his deputies and administration. In addition to the official salary, the President of Russia enjoys numerous privileges. These include departmental housing, country residences, official vehicles, and more.
Comparing countries
In 2009, the British tabloid Financial Times published an article in which it posted the salaries of the heads of state of different countries. So, the salary of the President of the Russian Federation (atat that time Dmitry Medvedev was him) turned out to be an order of magnitude lower than that of his foreign colleagues. Barack Obama turned out to be the leader of the list of "powerful people of this world". His salary per year was 292 thousand euros. For comparison: Dmitry Medvedev received only a quarter of this amount. In the same year, the head of the Russian state announced that he would annually report on the amount of his income. Dmitry Medvedev explained that the well-known and "transparent" salary of the President of the Russian Federation and civil servants is a measure to reduce the level of corruption, which increased during the financial crisis. The words did not remain just empty phrases, and for several years the head of state has been regularly reporting on his income.
The monthly salary of the President of the Russian Federation (2013) was about 270 thousand rubles. While the salary of ministers and deputies equated to them has increased since September 1 and settled at the level of about 420 thousand. According to verified data, the official salary of the President of the Russian Federation for 2012 amounted to almost 5 million 800 thousand, which is 2 million more than the figure of the previous year.
