What pension does Gorbachev receive?

One of the most controversial issues regarding Gorbachev's income is the size of his pension.. According to one version, the first president of Russia, Boris Yeltsin, appointed the politician a payment in the amount of 40 the minimum wage (minimum wage). FROM 1 January 2021 year, his pension under this scheme would be 511 680 rubles when calculating according to the average Russian minimum wage, or 823 560 rubles, when it comes to Moscow.

However, official documents on Gorbachev's state support do not confirm this.. The only policy-related presidential order (No. 480-рп of 19 September 1994 years as amended by decree dated 24 June 2002 of the year) gave him a pension 7412,8 ruble with a further increase depending on the size of the social pension in Russia. At the time of appointment in 2002 year, Gorbachev's pension was 11,23 times the minimum wage and 16,47 times - the base part of the payment.

Based on these ratios, can be calculated, that 1 January 2021 year Gorbachev's pension is 119 577,04 ruble or 175 372,56 ruble, if it is registered in the Moscow region. If a politician receives a capital pension, it is 151 560,08 ruble or 222 279,12 rubles respectively.

What income does Gorbachev have besides pension?

Gorbachev after the collapse of the USSR earned enough money for a comfortable life. Also in 1990 year, the Nobel Peace Prize brought him 1 million dollars, that he, by his own assertion, spent on building hospitals in the Soviet Union. In the West, the politician actively spoke with paid lectures, which brought him 100 thousand. dollars for one event at the beginning of the XXI century (data from The Los Angeles Times). Gorbachev has not lectured in recent years due to poor health..

The politician also accepted proposals from major Western entrepreneurs and celebrities for paid meetings.. Only one such dinner with the participation of actor Hugh Grant, about which the former Soviet leader spoke in 2008 year in the program “Posner”, brought Gorbachev a quarter of a million British pounds.

Other sources of money for the first and last president of the USSR are writing biographical books and shooting commercials.. The infamous Pizza Hut video 1997 years is not the only example.. Three years later Gorbachev advertised “Austrian railways”, and 2007 year – Louis Vuitton. Filming fees were not disclosed., but, taking into account the status and level of fame, It can be assumed, that we are talking about serious amounts.

Where does Gorbachev spend his money??

There are rumors in the press about Gorbachev's numerous properties outside of Russia.. Reliably known, that at the beginning of the 2000s, a politician bought a villa in the Bavarian commune of Rottach-Egern for 1 million euros. AT 2017 year the property was sold for seven times the price – probably, due to the reduction of Gorbachev's income. But his family retained the property located in the same place “Hubertus castle” area 570 square meters with an adjacent plot in 20 acres - the Gorbachevs bought it in 2007 year.

But the first president of the USSR did not have to pay for real estate in Russia - in 1992 year he was given a state dacha in Kalchuga near Moscow. Despite the relative modesty of the object in comparison with the mansions of major politicians and businessmen, its price, taking into account the location, is hardly inferior to the German “castle”. According to CIAN, the cost of a two-story cottage in Kalchuga varies from 30 to 140 million rubles.

In addition to daily expenses, Gorbachev's expenses are associated with his International Foundation for Socio-Economic and Political Science Research., better known as the Gorbachev Foundation. In order not to obtain the status of a foreign agent in Russia, the organization had to forego foreign funding. Another organization, in which the politician invests, is the International Green Cross founded by him, environmentalist. It is in these funds, according to representatives of the politician, Gorbachev invested royalties from advertising Pizza Hut and Louis Vuitton.
