Some Russian finance ministers headed the department for several months, others for several years. A.L. Kudrin headed the Ministry of Finance for the longest time – 11 years.
One line about the period from 1991 to 1999
1. Gaidar Egor Timurovich headed the Ministry of Finance in 1991−1992. After graduating from Moscow State University and graduate school, he worked at a research institute. He combined the positions of Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy and Finance.
2. Vasily Vasilyevich Barchuk served as head of the Ministry of Finance in 1992−1993. He adhered to the idea of a low-deficit budget. He rarely appeared in public, which was the reason for his removal from office.
3. Boris Grigorievich Fedorov headed the ministry in 1993–1994. He stopped the practice of issuing non-repayable loans to the former Soviet republics, strengthened the position of the department and refused the next IMF tranche. Under him, inflation decreased, increased interest rates on deposits for the population.
4. Vladimir Georgievich Panskov served as head of the Ministry of Finance in 1994−1996. In 1992 – 1994 was first deputy of the State Tax Service of the RSFSR. He was arrested on charges of bribery on an especially large scale and was soon released. During the investigation, he began working in the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation, and later became the head of the ministry in charge of finance.
5. Livshits Alexander Yakovlevich was the head of the Ministry of Finance in 1996−1997. The appointment was unexpected, since Livshits specialized in studying foreign market models. He began a fight against financial incentives, repealed the decree on a single currency account and became famous as a fierce fighter against bribery.
6. Anatoly Borisovich Chubais, as Deputy Prime Minister, prepared a privatization program, which caused mixed assessments from the outside Supreme Council. After Gaidar's resignation, he continued to work on privatization. He became head of the Ministry of Finance in March 1997. After the writer's scandal broke out in the fall of the same year, he was removed from his post.
7. Mikhail Mikhailovich Zadornov was Minister of Finance in 1997−1999. He held this position in the governments of V.S. Chernomyrdina, S.V. Kirienko, E.M. Primakova. On for a long time I will remember the protracted dispute between the politician and the oil oligarchs over export duties on black gold.
Not all Russian Finance Ministers are listed above. The list includes several more names: Vavilov A.P., Dubinin S.K.
Briefly about the leadership of the department in 2000−2011
The Russian finance ministers of this period are among the most famous politicians of its time.
1. Mikhail Mikhailovich Kasyanov headed the ministry in 2000−2004. He paid a lot of attention to the country's external debt. The remaining questions were assigned to the deputies. He went down in history as a talented negotiator who managed to reduce Russia's external debt. The politician's success can be explained by the favorable situation in the country's economy and the ability to get along with people.
2. Alexey Leonidovich Kudrin was the head of the Ministry of Finance longer than all his predecessors. The politician has been repeatedly named the best Finance Minister in the world and European level. Resigned in 2011 due to issues with D.A. Medvedev disagreements over the growth of military and social spending, the dependence of the budget on oil prices.
Our days
Currently, Anton Germanovich Siluanov is the Minister of Finance of Russia. Photos of the politician can be found in many domestic and Western publications. He took office in December 2011, having previously served as acting minister for several months. Siluanov began working in the department in 1989. Since then, he has held various positions, gradually moving up the career ladder.
Let's sum it up
Russian finance ministers have always played important role in the development of the state. Some politicians have not done anything outstanding in this field, others have gone down in history as prominent representatives authorities of his era. Some of them found themselves at the center of high-profile scandals and trials. However, each of them made a significant contribution to the development of the ministry.
For the first time, the Ministry of Finance included the salaries of ministers in the array of published open data. The average monthly salaries of employees of federal government agencies were also published.
The data refers to 2016, but in principle has not lost its relevance: in this year There was no indexation of officials' salaries. Although average salaries in individual departments could increase due to the use of the salary fund for vacant positions, which is distributed in the form of additional payments.
Ministers' incomes have been made public before - in annual declarations. Features of the information disclosed by the Ministry of Finance, is that it is the salary amounts that are published. The Minister of Finance receives the most per month (which is probably logical) Anton Siluanov, his average monthly salary is 1.73 million rubles. And if we compare this figure with the data from the declaration (95.4 million rubles), we can see that the salary amounted to approximately a fifth (22%) of the minister’s total income for 2016.
Minister of Economic Development (until November 2016 this post was held by Alexey Ulyukaev, after - Maxim Oreshkin) and the Minister of Energy ( Alexander Novak) received 1.27 and 1.16 million rubles per month last year. Minister for emergency situations (Vladimir Puchkov) received about a million in 2016: 954 thousand rubles per month, Minister of Industry and Trade ( Denis Manturov) – 921 thousand.
The heads of the Ministry of Justice are also in the top ten in terms of salaries ( Alexander Konovalov), Ministry of Sports (from October 2016 – Pavel Kolobkov), Ministry of Foreign Affairs ( Sergey Lavrov), Ministry of Health ( Veronica Skvortsova) and the Ministry of Education (from August 2016 – Olga Vasilyeva), they received salaries in 2016 from 497 to 634 thousand rubles. It must be borne in mind, however, that the salaries of most ministers and deputy prime ministers consist of a fixed monetary remuneration, as well as individual incentives, which are established by the president and can be paid monthly or quarterly.
In general, the average monthly salary of Russian government employees who hold government positions (in particular, the head of government and his 10 deputies) last year amounted to 693 thousand rubles.
Average salary of the head of the Accounts Chamber Tatiana Golikova, her deputy, as well as 12 auditors amounted to 668.8 thousand rubles per month; 16 employees of the Constitutional Court (chairman, deputy, judges) receive an average of 615 thousand rubles per month. IN State Duma the average monthly salary was 420 thousand rubles, in the Federation Council - 385 thousand.
Data on the salaries of the heads of power ministries (the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs), as well as the heads of the FSB and the SVR, remained closed. There is no data on the salary of the head of state. However, there are figures from his declaration, according to which Vladimir Putin earned 8.8 million rubles in 2016. RBC also proposes to calculate the president’s salary using information from the Garant system. In 2002, the monetary remuneration of the prime minister and president was set at 63 and 50.4 thousand rubles, and then increased several times (in total - 11.3 times), it turns out - up to 713 and 570 thousand rubles, respectively. It should also be taken into account that, according to the order of Vladimir Putin, since March 2015, the monetary remuneration of the head of government and head of state has been cut by 10%. Thus, we can assume that today's salary Vladimir Putin And Dmitry Medvedev is 641.7 and 513 thousand rubles per month.
And finally. According to Rosstat, the average salary of federal officials in the country in 2016 was 116 thousand rubles. For the last 4 years, salaries of civil servants have not been indexed - however, from January 1, 2018, for the first time in such a long period, they will be indexed by 4%.
