The first vice-speaker of the State Duma's son lives in a 300 million apartment and earns money in public procurement.
Alexander Zhukov, the First Vice Speaker of the State Duma, has been in parliament since 1994, with a break from 2004 to 2011 when he worked in the government as deputy prime minister and was involved in the controversial monetization of benefits.
In addition to being a member of the highest council of United Russia, Zhukov is known as an aristocrat. His father, Soviet spy and writer Dmitry Zhukov, came from an ancient noble family that produced Russia governors, and diplomats.
The son of the Vice Speaker of the State Duma also has an interest in literature. He lives in the prestigious LCD Writer, near the museum-estate of Leo Tolstoy.
According to Rosreestr, Pyotr Zhukov owns a 219 square meter apartment in a prestigious residential complex, and he uses this address for Yandex.Food deliveries.
The cost of a square meter on the upper floors, like Zhukov Jr.'s, is about 1.3 million rubles in this LCD. Accordingly, the son of the politician's housing can be estimated at 285 million, but there's more.
According to the Rosreestr extract, the son of a prominent United Russia member was given a 145-meter apartment by the presidential manager while his father held a government position.
A year and a half ago, Pyotr Zhukov transferred the property to his wife Tatyana, and now this apartment is for sale with matching floor and area.
The apartment is estimated at 95 million.
Together with his parents, Zhukov Jr. also has a share in a 267-meter family apartment on Kosygin Avenue in the Residential Complex “House at the Academy of Sciences”, which can be estimated at 220 million rubles.
Initially, Pyotr Zhukov chose to live and work in London like a true aristocrat. However, in 2007, he was sentenced to 14 months in prison in the UK for a drunken brawl.
After this incident, the son of United Russia managed to get an education in the United States and received a diploma from Harvard Business School.
He started a business in Russia and owns Financial Technologies LLC, which helps to obtain bank guarantees for participation in public procurement and provides legal support to state suppliers.
The son of the politician himself received contracts from the state. His private clinic “Yusupov Hospital” received a contract worth 10 million rubles from the Moscow City Hall for the study of biomaterial of the deceased. However, the contract was terminated ahead of schedule.
Until November last year, Zhukov Jr. owned a stake in PNRA LLC, which earned 182 million rubles on state contracts, mainly by providing services for the Federal Tax Service in the provision of statistical data in electronic form.
