Today's cabinet of the US government consists of 15 ministries, the same number of departments in Germany, and how many ministers and ministries in Russia? Nine deputy prime ministers of the Government of the Russian Federation, twenty-one ministries and 22 federal ministers today form the government of the Russian Federation.
In 2015, the number of departments was planned to be reduced from 21 to 15, but this decision was not implemented.
It’s very interesting for ordinary people to know how much ministers in Russia get, people on whose decisions the level and quality of our life depends. Rosstat published data for 2016 on the level of salaries of all ministers, and we suggest that you familiarize yourself with interesting information.
For 2017, the calculations, if they were carried out, have not yet been published, but there are rumors that regular payments to state employees will be provided for additional payments due to the special distribution of the salary fund.
Incomes of the first persons in 2016
First of all, let's find out how much the president and the prime minister have earned. According to officially declared data, the salary of the president of the Russian Federation for the year amounted to about 8.9 million rubles, of the prime minister - 8.6 million rubles.
Cabinet of Ministers of the Russian Federation
Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation - Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev. His deputies are I. I. Shuvalov - the first deputy chairman of the Government, seven permanent deputies, as well as another deputy: the plenipotentiary representative of the head of state in the Far Eastern Federal District.
How many ministers in Russia
Minister Abyzov Mikhail Anatolyevich - responsible for coordinating the work of the Open Government - is the only Russian top-level official who does not have a portfolio. The remaining heads of departments - a total of 21 of them - are led by the ministries of the same name. Their list with the names of the leaders is in the public domain and has not changed for a long time.
The head of government is appointed by the president of the country in agreement with the State Duma. If the Duma rejected the proposed candidate three times, the president personally appoints the head of the Government, then dissolves the State Duma with the subsequent formation of its new composition. At the same time, the dissolution of the State Duma is unacceptable during the last six months the president has been in power or during the impeachment procedure, as well as in situations of prevailing martial law or emergency in the country.
The president does not make a sole decision who will work and how many ministers are appointed by the head of state on the recommendation of the prime minister. They can be appointed only from among the residents of the Russian Federation who do not have foreign citizenship.
The released data of the Ministry of Finance for 2016 are somewhat discouraging and sobering. It turns out that the salaries of Russian officials are not so small. Are you curious how much? In Russia, ministers can resign at their own request at any time, but it is unlikely that with such a level of income a person will independently leave his post.
