Boris Nemtsov, co-chairman of the People's Freedom Party, has already released reports on the activities of Vladimir Putin, such as “Putin. Results. 10 years”,“Putin. Corruption”(in two parts),“Putin and the crisis”. Now he decided to touch upon the topic of income of the current president of the Russian Federation.
At the end of August 2012, Boris Nemtsov, in collaboration with Leonid Martynyuk, a member of the council of the Solidarity movement, presented a report in which he listed the property of Vladimir Putin. The work was published under the title "The Life of a Slave in Galleys (Palaces, Yachts, Cars, Airplanes and Other Accessories)". It was taken from the statement of V. Putin himself at a press conference in 2008, when the president said that he "plowed like a galley slave."
The work of Nemtsov and Martynyuk consists of 7 parts: introduction, conclusion and 5 sections, which are devoted to a certain type of property of the head of state - palaces, air transport, cars, yachts, watches. The description of each item in the list of material values is accompanied by a short description, photographs and a commentary on its value. The head of the country has at his disposal 20 residences, 58 air transport units, 4 luxury yachts. His collection of watches is estimated at 22,000,000 rubles, while his declared income for the year is 3,661,765 rubles. According to the authors of the work, it is abnormal for the head of state to lead a life in such luxury against the background of poverty of the majority of the population.
Each item in the list of property of the head of state contains a link to an Internet resource from which information about him was taken. However, such sources cannot be considered completely reliable. Vladimir Putin's press secretary Dmitry Peskov noted that the property listed in this report is state property, and information about it is absolutely open. He called the work itself "pseudo-incrimination" on the part of Nemtsov to raise his rating.
The circulation of the report is small - only 5 thousand copies, since its authors count, first of all, on the network distribution.
