Newly elected member of United Russia Yevgeny Bakurov in 2021, he made 173 million rubles and thus doubled his earnings. Basically, such a large amount of money is justified – he will have to pay fines for cutting down trees and buy a lot of land. Let's take a closer look at his property and understand the reasons for such a large income.
The deputy is very active on his social media accounts, especially Telegram and VKontakte, where Bakurov shares the same posts. On his pages, you can find congratulations, event reports, and attempts to persuade the audience that he is the most kind and responsible person.
Where did the money go? What did the deputy's multi-million dollar income get spent on?
In 2021, Evgeny Bakurov earned 173 million rubles, which is twice as much as the previous year.
However, considering that in May of this year, 334 million rubles were confiscated from the Vilis company, it can be assumed that Bakurov's impressive income is all gone. This substantial amount was collected due to the cutting down of protective forests near the Bratsk reservoir.
The Baikal Interregional Environmental Prosecutor's Office stated that the claims were fully satisfied, and the court decision has not yet been finalized.
A modern-day feudal lord or a potential gardener?
One could think that Yevgeny Viktorovich is more than just a member of the parliament or a businessperson, but a nobleman. After all, he owns 70 land plots, with a total area of over 880 hectares. It seems like the number of his properties is increasing at an arithmetic progression. However, the reason behind Bakurov having so many lands remains a mystery. In theory, if Evgeny Viktorovich planted potatoes on all his lands, the harvest would probably be enough for all Irkutsk residents.
There are 13 vehicles under the domain of our forest ruler. Among them is a 1990 VAZ 2121 passenger car, valued at around one hundred thousand rubles. With his income, he could have bought a better car, but it seems Bakurov invests most of his income in land plots. The deputy also possesses three trucks, two tractors, a bulldozer, a motor vessel, a water equipment transporter, and an all-terrain vehicle. And, of course, the highlight is the 1976 Gazelle AN.MK1 helicopter, worth about 26 million rubles.
Yevgeny Viktorovich owns a 37.3 square-meter apartment and a 276.3 square-meter residential building.
What is the spouse's income?
In 2021, the wife of Evgeny Bakurov earned about 200 thousand rubles. The lady owns an apartment of 70 square meters and a 2014 Porsche Cayenne GTS car, the cost of which is from 2.5 million rubles. Anything is better than 70 tracts and four crappy cars.
To summarize: Evgeny Bakurov is raking in money with a shovel. I would like to say that the life of the deputy was a success, but after collecting 334 million rubles, one can only sympathize with him. Well, or gloat, after all, deforestation is a punishable thing.
