A parliamentarian with a watch for 100 thousand euros, real estate for 5 thousand square meters. meters and three cars offered to equip the apartments of deputies at public expense.

Vladimir Pligin, Chairman of the RF State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, today introduced a draft law proposing to equip the apartments of deputies and senators with appliances and furniture at public expense. Telegraph studied Vladimir Pligin's income declarations and came to the conclusion that the parliamentarian's proposal is, to put it mildly, arrogance.

According to the declaration of income officially published on the website of the State Duma, the deputy's income last year amounted to exactly 10 million 415 thousand 832 rubles 35 kopecks. At the same time, there is no data on real estate and personal cars in the declaration of the parliamentarian.

At the same time, the Declarator.org website, which is a Russian project of the Transparency International Anti-Corruption Center, speaks of completely different data. According to the resource, Vladimir Pligin's income in 2015 amounted to 15 million 962 thousand 738 rubles, he owns real estate with a total area of ​​4 thousand 749 square meters, which includes four land plots with an area of ​​4,084 square meters. m, residential buildings with a total area of ​​361.67 sq. m (as stated verbatim on the site, 2 and 2/3 pieces), one apartment with an area of ​​274.2 sq. m and two garages 29.6 sq. m. In addition, three cars are listed as personal vehicles on the site.

Further more. Googling a bit, we found that in 2014, the chairman of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, Vladimir Pligin, took the cumulative second place in terms of income among all Don deputies. The annual income of a person who calls for equipping the apartments of parliamentarians for budgetary funds amounted to 8.2 million rubles, and the growth of his income amounted to 1.8 million rubles. According to the declaration, the parliamentarian does not own any movable or immovable property at all. But at the same time, the probably terribly active and hardworking wife of Mr. Pligin in 2014 increased her income by almost seven times - from 5.6 to 38.8 million rubles. At the same time, she owns two land plots for 1.6 thousand and 1.3 thousand square meters. m, a house of 264.3 sq. m, two apartments for 274 and 52.1 sq. m, two parking spaces - 14.5 and 15.1 sq. m, as well as two-thirds of the share in the house of 54.7 sq. m. The child of Vladimir Pligin, also indicated in the declaration, earned 130 thousand rubles in 2014, he has two land plots of 365 and 669 square meters. m and a house of 60.9 sq. m. It is noted that in 2014 the deputy or members of his family did not sell any property. Surprisingly, Mr. Pligin refused to comment on this information to our colleagues from Kommersant in April 2015. More precisely, he was unavailable for comment.

All the information we have mentioned above is publicly available, and if desired, any reader of Telegraph can find it on the Internet. To top it all off, we note that, according to our expert, Vladimir Pligin's watch, which was captured by a photographer from the RIA Novosti agency at one of the meetings of the State Duma, is estimated at about 100,000 euros.

As we can see from all this, Vladimir Pligin, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, makes ends meet with incredible difficulty. He has to starve, count the last penny, and dress in whatever. A person needs financial support. And it is precisely for this reason that he, apparently, decided to submit his bill to the State Duma for consideration. At least some support for his miserable existence from taxpayers and the state. Although the living space of a person will be equipped with equipment for his hard, almost inhuman work.

MOSCOW, May 31. /TASS/. The head of the State Duma Committee on Constitutional Legislation and State Building, Vladimir Pligin (United Russia), submitted a bill to the lower house of parliament, which proposes to regulate the staffing of apartments of deputies and senators at the expense of budgetary funds with “everything necessary”, and not just telephone and furniture, as prescribed current legislature. The initiative is placed in the electronic database of documents of the State Duma.

According to the current law, a member of the Federation Council, a deputy of the State Duma, who does not have a living space in Moscow, for the period of exercising their powers, “is provided with office living quarters (an apartment with furniture and a telephone)”. However, as the author of the bill notes, deputy apartments, in particular, in addition to furniture and a telephone, “are equipped with all the items and equipment necessary for living, the list of which is established by the State Duma’s State Duma Table of Equipping the Deputies’ Office Living Room. According to the law, expenses for the material support of the activities of a member of the Federation Council and a deputy of the State Duma are carried out at the expense of funds transferred by the Federation Council and the State Duma, respectively, to the accounts of the relevant state authorities, local governments, and organizations.

“Changing the equipment of service living quarters at the request of tenants is generally not allowed or is allowed in exceptional cases at their own expense,” the explanatory note says.

At the same time, Pligin refers to the conclusion of the Accounts Chamber, according to which “acquisition of material reserves to provide official living quarters for members of the Federation Council and deputies of the State Duma at the expense of subsidies for financial support for the implementation of state tasks for 2013-2014, as well as the acquisition of fixed assets (split systems) to provide official living quarters for deputies of the State Duma at the expense of subsidies for other purposes had no legal grounds.

In this regard, the author proposes to amend the federal law "On the status of a member of the Federation Council and the status of a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation." The bill proposes to provide a member of the Federation Council and a deputy of the State Duma with “a service dwelling equipped with everything necessary for living in the manner and on the conditions provided for by housing legislation.” “The list of items necessary for living is established by the relevant chamber of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in agreement with the federal executive body that provides social services to members of the Federation Council and deputies of the State Duma,” the text of the bill says.

In the early 1990s, Pligin was one of the founders of the Yust law firm of the Moscow Regional Bar Association. In 1992-2003, he served as the managing partner of YUST. In September 1995, Pligin became one of the co-founders of the Editorial Board of the Neva-Yust Mass Media - Informbulletin LLC, and in April 1999, he became a co-founder of the Yust Group LLC law firm, where he worked until 2003.

In 1996, Pligin received the status of a lawyer in the Moscow Regional Bar Association (in 2003, the status was suspended due to Pligin's election to the State Duma). Among lawyers, Pligin became known as a specialist in the field of foreign investment, civil and arbitration proceedings, and also dealt with criminal proceedings involving well-known politicians. In particular, Pligin gained fame as a lawyer for the former mayor of St. Petersburg, Anatoly Sobchak.

On the eve of Pligin's candidacy to the State Duma in 2003, he was a representative of the shareholders of FSUE Gosinkor, served on the boards of directors of a number of major Russian companies, including the Tupolev association, Aviastar OJSC, KB Nomosbank and others, represented the interests of domestic state organizations in international courts and in the organization of large investment projects, and also had the status of a judge of the International Commercial Arbitration Court.

In 2003, Pligin became a member of parliament, elected on the list of the United Russia party. In the Duma, he took the post of head of the committee on constitutional legislation and state building, and also became a member of the Board of Trustees of the Patriotic Cinema Support Fund.

In the media, Pligin was mentioned as an active participant in the internal party discussion that unfolded in United Russia in April 2005. The "United Russia" group (the so-called "Pligin group") issued a public "Appeal to Party Members" in which it proposed that the party adopt the ideology of "dramatically renewed liberalism." In response to this, another group of United Russia deputies, led by Andrey Isaev, proposed an alternative - left - ideological platform. However, the party did not split into right and left "wings", and for Pligin his liberal initiative had no visible consequences.

Pligin's surname became widely known to voters after he was the author of amendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (CAO), significantly increasing fines for traffic violations. They drew criticism from ordinary motorists, but Pligin stressed that he would seek the introduction of amendments, since the situation on the roads of Russia is "close to disaster."

On December 2, 2007, Pligin, as a United Russia candidate in the Rostov region, took part in the parliamentary elections and, after the party's victory, once again became a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation. In the Duma of the fifth convocation, he headed the committee on constitutional legislation and state building.

Pligin is a member of the General Council of the United Russia party, a member of the Presidium of the Association of Lawyers of Russia, the author of a number of articles in the field of jurisprudence, and a co-author of the textbook "State Property Management". He is the head of the department of business law at the Higher School of Privatization and Entrepreneurship in St. Petersburg. In April 2004, Pligin, along with a number of other deputies, was awarded the badge "For Assistance to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia."

Pligin is married, his wife Nina Alexandrovna is a graduate of the Faculty of Chemistry of the Leningrad State University, a specialist in the field of rocket fuel. As of 2005, she was vice-president of the Foundation for the preparation for the 100th anniversary of the Plekhanov Academy. The Pligins have two sons - the elder Alexander and the younger Andrey.

Deputies of the State Duma Members of the Federation Council

An excerpt characterizing Pligin, Vladimir Nikolaevich

- Soulbreaker! he suddenly shouted at the kisser. - Knit it, guys!
- How, I tied one such and such! the kisser shouted, brushing aside the people who had attacked him, and tearing off his hat, he threw it on the ground. As if this action had some mysteriously menacing significance, the factory workers, who surrounded the kisser, stopped in indecision.
- I know the order, brother, very well. I'll go private. Do you think I won't? No one is ordered to rob anyone! shouted the kisser, raising his hat.
- And let's go, you go! And let's go ... oh you! the kisser and the tall fellow repeated one after another, and together they moved forward along the street. The bloodied blacksmith walked beside them. Factory workers and strangers followed them with a voice and a cry.
At the corner of Maroseyka, opposite a large house with locked shutters, on which there was a sign for a shoemaker, about twenty shoemakers, thin, weary people in dressing gowns and tattered chuikki, stood with sad faces.
"He's got the people right!" said a thin artisan with a thin beard and furrowed brows. - Well, he sucked our blood - and quit. He drove us, drove us - all week. And now he brought it to the last end, and he left.
Seeing the people and the bloody man, the artisan who spoke fell silent, and all the shoemakers joined the moving crowd with hasty curiosity.
- Where are the people going?
- It is known where, to the authorities goes.
- Well, did our strength really not take it?
- How did you think? Look what the people are saying.
There were questions and answers. The kisser, taking advantage of the increase in the crowd, lagged behind the people and returned to his tavern.
The tall fellow, not noticing the disappearance of his enemy the kisser, waving his bare hand, did not stop talking, thus drawing everyone's attention to himself. The people mainly pressed against him, assuming from him to obtain permission from all the questions that occupied them.
- He show the order, show the law, the authorities have been put on that! Is that what I say, Orthodox? said the tall fellow, smiling slightly.
- He thinks, and there are no bosses? Is it possible without a boss? And then rob it is not enough of them.
- What an empty talk! - echoed in the crowd. - Well, they will leave Moscow then! They told you to laugh, and you believed. How many of our troops are coming. So they let him in! For that boss. There, listen to what the people are doing, - they said, pointing to a tall fellow.
At the wall of China Town, another small group of people surrounded a man in a frieze overcoat, holding paper in his hands.
- Decree, decree read! Decree read! - was heard in the crowd, and the people rushed to the reader.
A man in a frieze overcoat was reading a poster dated August 31st. When the crowd surrounded him, he seemed to be embarrassed, but at the demand of the tall fellow who squeezed his way up to him, with a slight trembling in his voice, he began to read the poster from the beginning.
“Tomorrow I’m going early to the most serene prince,” he read (brightening! - solemnly, smiling with his mouth and frowning his eyebrows, repeated the tall fellow), “to talk with him, act and help the troops exterminate the villains; we will also become a spirit from them ... - the reader continued and stopped (“Have you seen it?” - the small one shouted triumphantly. - He will unleash the whole distance for you ...”) ... - eradicate and send these guests to hell; I’ll come back for dinner, and we’ll get down to business, we’ll do it, we’ll finish it and finish off the villains. ”
The last words were read by the reader in perfect silence. The tall fellow lowered his head sadly. It was obvious that no one understood these last words. In particular, the words: "I'll arrive tomorrow at dinner," apparently even upset both the reader and the listeners. The understanding of the people was tuned to a high tune, and this was too simple and needlessly understandable; it was the very thing that each of them could have said, and that therefore a decree from a higher authority could not speak.
Everyone stood in gloomy silence. The tall fellow moved his lips and staggered.
“I should have asked him!.. Is that himself?.. Why, he asked! two mounted dragoons.
The police chief, who went that morning on the count's order to burn the barges and, on the occasion of this order, rescued a large sum of money that was in his pocket at that moment, seeing a crowd of people advancing towards him, ordered the coachman to stop.
- What kind of people? he shouted at the people, who were approaching the droshky, scattered and timid. - What kind of people? I'm asking you? repeated the chief of police, who received no answer.
“They, your honor,” said the clerk in a frieze overcoat, “they, your honor, at the announcement of the most illustrious count, not sparing their stomachs, wanted to serve, and not just some kind of rebellion, as it was said from the most illustrious count ...
“The count has not left, he is here, and there will be an order about you,” said the chief of police. – Went! he said to the coachman. The crowd stopped, crowding around those who had heard what the authorities said, and looking at the departing droshky.
The police chief at this time looked around in fright, said something to the coachman, and his horses went faster.
- Cheating, guys! Lead to yourself! shouted the voice of the tall fellow. - Don't let go, guys! Let him submit a report! Hold on! shouted the voices, and the people ran after the droshky.
The crowd behind the police chief with a noisy conversation headed for the Lubyanka.
“Well, gentlemen and merchants have left, and that’s why we’re disappearing?” Well, we are dogs, eh! – was heard more often in the crowd.

On the evening of September 1, after his meeting with Kutuzov, Count Rastopchin, upset and offended that he was not invited to the military council, that Kutuzov did not pay any attention to his proposal to take part in the defense of the capital, and surprised by the new look that opened to him in the camp , in which the question of the calmness of the capital and its patriotic mood turned out to be not only secondary, but completely unnecessary and insignificant - upset, offended and surprised by all this, Count Rostopchin returned to Moscow. After supper, the count, without undressing, lay down on the couch and at one o'clock was awakened by a courier who brought him a letter from Kutuzov. The letter said that since the troops were retreating to the Ryazan road beyond Moscow, would it please the count to send police officials to lead the troops through the city. This news was not news to Rostopchin. Not only from yesterday’s meeting with Kutuzov on Poklonnaya Gora, but also from the Battle of Borodino itself, when all the generals who came to Moscow unanimously said that it was impossible to give another battle, and when, with the permission of the count, state property and up to half of the inhabitants were already taken out every night. we left, - Count Rostopchin knew that Moscow would be abandoned; but nevertheless this news, reported in the form of a simple note with an order from Kutuzov and received at night, during the first dream, surprised and annoyed the count.
Subsequently, explaining his activities during this time, Count Rostopchin wrote several times in his notes that he then had two important goals: De maintenir la tranquillite a Moscou et d "en faire partir les habitants. [Keep calm in Moscow and expel from If we admit this dual purpose, any action of Rostopchin turns out to be irreproachable. Why weren’t the Moscow shrines, weapons, cartridges, gunpowder, grain supplies taken out, why were thousands of residents deceived by the fact that Moscow would not be surrendered, and ruined? in order to keep calm in the capital, answers the explanation of Count Rostopchin. Why were piles of unnecessary papers taken out of government offices and Leppich's ball and other objects? - In order to leave the city empty, the explanation of Count Rostopchin answers. One has only to assume that something threatened people's peace, and every action becomes justified.
All the horrors of terror were based only on concern for the people's peace.
What was the basis of Count Rostopchin's fear of public peace in Moscow in 1812? What reason was there to suppose a tendency to rebellion in the city? The inhabitants were leaving, the troops, retreating, filled Moscow. Why should the people revolt as a result of this?
Not only in Moscow, but throughout Russia, when the enemy entered, there was nothing resembling indignation. On the 1st and 2nd of September, more than ten thousand people remained in Moscow, and, apart from the crowd that had gathered in the courtyard of the commander-in-chief and attracted by him, there was nothing. It is obvious that even less one should have expected unrest among the people if, after the Battle of Borodino, when the abandonment of Moscow became obvious, or at least probably, if then, instead of disturbing the people with the distribution of weapons and posters, Rostopchin took measures to the removal of all sacred things, gunpowder, charges and money, and would directly announce to the people that the city was being abandoned.
Rostopchin, an ardent, sanguine man, who always moved in the highest circles of the administration, although with a patriotic feeling, had not the slightest idea about the people he thought to rule. From the very beginning of the enemy's entry into Smolensk, Rastopchin in his imagination formed for himself the role of the leader of the people's feelings - the heart of Russia. It not only seemed to him (as it seems to every administrator) that he controlled the external actions of the inhabitants of Moscow, but it seemed to him that he directed their mood through his appeals and posters, written in that jarring language, which in its midst despises the people and whom he does not understands when he hears it from above. Rastopchin liked the beautiful role of the leader of popular feeling so much, he got used to it so much that the need to get out of this role, the need to leave Moscow without any heroic effect took him by surprise, and he suddenly lost the ground on which he stood from under his feet, in resolutely did not know what to do. Although he knew, he did not believe with all his heart until the last minute in leaving Moscow and did nothing to this end. Residents moved out against his will. If government offices were taken out, then only at the request of officials, with whom the count reluctantly agreed. He himself was busy only with the role that he had made for himself. As is often the case with people endowed with ardent imagination, he had known for a long time that Moscow would be abandoned, but he knew only by reasoning, but he did not believe in it with all his heart, he was not transported by his imagination to this new situation.
All his activity, diligent and energetic (how useful it was and reflected on the people is another question), all his activity was aimed only at arousing in the inhabitants the feeling that he himself experienced - patriotic hatred for the French and confidence in itself.
But when the event took on its real, historical dimensions, when it turned out to be insufficient to express one’s hatred for the French in words alone, when it was impossible even to express this hatred in a battle, when self-confidence turned out to be useless in relation to one question of Moscow, when the entire population, as one person , throwing their property, flowed out of Moscow, showing by this negative action the full strength of their popular feeling - then the role chosen by Rostopchin suddenly turned out to be meaningless. He suddenly felt lonely, weak and ridiculous, without ground under his feet.

The key Duma committee on constitutional legislation remains without a chairman: United Russia Vladimir Pligin, who led it for three convocations, occupies only fifth place in his regional group for St. Petersburg, and due to low turnout, the group receives only two mandates.

Another candidate for the post of speaker - the first deputy head of the presidential administration Vyacheslav Volodin - has disagreements on the style of work with Pligin, so Pligin will not be able to stay if Volodin becomes speaker, he believes. Pligin always had a respectful and polite relationship with Volodin, one of the deputies disagrees. Medvedev will not give the mandate to Pligin, and this is already absolutely certain, another interlocutor in the State Duma apparatus knows. Pligin was collecting things on Wednesday, the staff of the apparatus say.

Pligin: the state has the right to impose a moral standard on society

One of the most important conditions for a successfully functioning state is the legitimacy of power. There are many theories related to the legitimacy of power, but if they are simplified, then they all speak of the need for the people to consider power legitimate and trust it with the right to govern themselves. The agreement that power has the right to govern is based on a set of moral standards. These moral standards may not be very good, for example, we know from history that there was a belief that it was possible to have slaves - and this was moral from the point of view of those people who owned slaves, but morally it was also from the point of view of the slaves themselves, who liberated from slavery, they also sometimes acquired slaves. Another question is about the quality of this morality. After all, morality, unlike the moral law, can change.
