Having been in politics for about 20 years, Uss headed the governor's corps only at the end of 2017. His declaration then surprised the voters very much - it indicated 221 million rubles (of which 192 was inheritance), which caused a wide public outcry.
The income of the Krasnoyarsk Governor has significantly decreased in comparison with 2017 - up to 10 times: Alexander Uss has lost the status of a “multimillionaire”.

From the position of the "richest" speaker, he was pushed aside by the new managers of Sakhalin and the Amur Region - Limarenko and Orlov. Nevertheless, Kozhemyako is still one of the three richest governors in the Far East. It is noteworthy that the politician's wife, Irina Gerasimenko, was included in the Forbs rating in 2018 with a fortune of $ 180 million. Kozhemyako modestly kept silent about this in his declaration.
8. Vasily Orlov, Amur region. - RUB 31,596,742

Early resignation and dismissal from a substituted position contributed to the payment of compensation for not taking leave of absences and decent bonuses.

At the same time, the income of the wife of the Kuban head increased and amounted to 625 thousand rubles.
The list of family property has not changed - this is a land plot, a house and an apartment. An interesting fact: the deputy mayor of Sochi, who is under investigation, earned more in a year than the head of the resort area.
7. Mikhail Vedernikov, Pskov region - 1 983 655 rubles.
The head of the Pskov region continues to record income figures, which are small by the standards of Russian officials, in their tax returns. According to official reports, Vedernikov is the only breadwinner in the family: the governor's wife has no income for the past year, and in 2017 she earned as much as 4 kopecks. In the personal property of the head of the region, no changes were recorded.

Awarded with the Certificate of Honor of the President of the Russian Federation, has a Certificate of Commendation from the President of the Russian Federation, a member of the President's personnel reserve.

5. Rashid Temrezov, Rep. Karachay-Cherkessia - 1,547,545 rubles.
The press calls Rashid Temrezov the "poorest" governor of the North Caucasus region.But, despite this, the income of the head of the KChR has grown by 600 thousand Russian rubles compared to 2017. As before, Temrezov does not own real estate, but he has a Volga car.
4. Murat Kumpilov, Adyghe Rep. - 1,445,398 rubles.
Adygea is not formally part of the North Caucasian Federal District, but is considered a difficult, closed from prying eyes, depressed region, which is supported by federal subsidies. This can largely explain the corresponding salaries from the local head of the republic. As it became known from the declaration, the official's car and one of the apartments disappeared, while, compared to 2017, Kumpilov earned 89 thousand rubles less.
By the way, despite the difficulties of the region, according to the National Rating of the Investment Climate, Adygea is on the list of the subjects of the Russian Federation that showed the maximum dynamics of improving the investment climate.

Elected to the post of governor of the region in 2018, in September. Prior to assuming this position, Voskresensky worked for several years (from 2014 to 2017) as Deputy Minister of Economic Development.
The capital figures of the governor of the Ivanovo region for the year decreased by almost 7 times: in 2017, Voskresensky reported 8 million 687 thousand rubles. Now the official's declaration is one of the most "adequate" among his fellow economists. The income of Voskresensky's wife in 2018 increased 2.4 times, reaching just under 3 million rubles.
2. Batu Khasikov, acting head of Kolmykia - 1,071,641 rubles.
Khasikov has recently been in the post of governor: since March 20, 2019, but he is no longer a new player in politics. He is known as a former senator of the Federation Council, advisor to the head of Rosmolodezh, and world kickboxing champion. So, the recently appointed head of Kalmykia, Batu Sergeevich Khasikov, forgetting about the explosive fees and contracts of the kickboxer “Khan Baty”, earned a little over a million rubles and lost the “leadership” in terms of the most modest income to a colleague from Khakassia.
It is noteworthy that the new governor, Khasikov, announced the optimization of budget expenditures by saving officials' expenses.
1. Valentin Konovalov, head of Khakassia - 607,382 rubles.
In office for a short time - from November 15, 2018. By right, he can be called the "poorest" Russian governor and official with the most similar income to the earnings of ordinary Russians. Almost all Russian governors have annual earnings exceeding one million rubles. The "richest" head received almost 38 times more than the "poorest" head of the region.
Although the fortune of the "communist" Konovalov has grown significantly over the year - almost three times: in 2017, when Valentin Konovalov was a simple deputy of the city council in Abakan, his income was only 218,455 rubles.
Such changes in the salary of the head of the region began to be actively discussed in the media, especially after his initiative to increase the salaries of officials. This applies to amendments to the regional law on allowances for persons filling public positions in Khakassia and the governor of the republic.
