Who in Russia receives the highest salary? Salaries in Russia Savings, securities and real estate of Putin
The prosecutor's office is one of the main government bodies that protects law and order. Naturally, in order to avoid the temptation to succumb to acts of corruption, the salary of such an important official as a prosecutor is assumed to be quite high. But is this the case in reality? Let's find out how much prosecutors in Russia earn.
Salary by employee category
The salary of a Russian prosecutor is indeed significantly higher than the average earnings of citizens in the country as a whole. Thus, the regional prosecutor currently receives from 70,000 to 250,000 rubles. per month, depending on the region of his work and personal merits, regional - from 50,000 to 150,000 rubles. for the same period. At the same time, the Prosecutor General of Russia earns 506,190 rubles. per month, or more than six million rubles per year. Of course, his income significantly exceeds even the rather large salaries of his subordinates.
Salaries in individual cities
How much do employees in this field earn in specific Russian cities? Below we provide data on the monthly income of regional prosecutors for individual localities of the Russian Federation:
- Moscow (Prosecutor General) – 506,190 rubles;
- Tver – RUB 226,358;
- Simferopol - 91,083 rubles;
- Smolensk – 89,437 rubles;
- Kaliningrad – 85,000 rub.
As we can see, if we do not take into account the earnings of the Prosecutor General, then the head of the Tver Regional Prosecutor's Office receives the most.
If we talk about the heads of the district prosecutor's office, then in the Kaliningrad region their salaries vary from 54,600 rubles. up to 70,000 rubles, in the Smolensk region – 57,000–72,900 rubles, Tver region – 76,800–142,900 rubles. As we see, here, too, the prosecutors of the Tver region are ahead in terms of income.
What about in Europe?
But, as they say, everything is learned by comparison. Let's take a look at the salaries of representatives of similar positions in European countries and compare them with the earnings of colleagues from Russia.
The Swiss have the highest level of income among prosecutors in Europe - 7,100 euros per month, Andorrans - 5,800 euros, Monegasques - 3,400 euros and Norwegians - 3,300 euros. Moreover, if in the dwarf countries of Andorra and Monaco such large salaries of employees are explained by the fact that this institution in these states consists exclusively of employees of the central apparatus, then in Switzerland and Norway there is generally a fairly high level of income of the population.
Employees of the prosecutor's office in Moldova receive the least in Europe - 177 euros per month and in Ukraine - 114 euros per month.
In the Russian prosecutor's office, the average salary is about 80 thousand rubles or 1100–1150 euros per month. Thus, we can say that representatives of this type of public service in our country in terms of income are approximately in the middle of the European list, although closer to the bottom.
Decent salary
By domestic Russian standards, prosecutors certainly have decent salaries. However, even if compared with European countries as a whole, our workers in this area are not at the bottom of the list in terms of wages, but closer to the middle.
But it is also worth taking into account the fact that the level of Russian prices is still lower than European indicators, which means that the real income of domestic employees is even higher.
However, the government, as part of increasing salaries for civil servants, continues, albeit at a slower pace than for representatives of low-paid positions, to increase salaries for prosecutors. The purpose of this step is to ensure a decent standard of living for this category of employees, which in turn should help reduce the overall level of corruption.
Russia is distinguished not only by its large territory, but also by its very high wages.
What is the average salary in Russia?
If we compare the level of average monthly income in 2018 with salaries in Russia in 2019, we can note that the average salary in Russia has increased by 12% over the past year. But it is worth considering that the increase in wages in Russia in 2019 occurred exclusively in the national currency.
In foreign currency terms, salaries in Russia decreased in 2019 due to the appreciation of foreign currency.
Thus, the average salary in Russia in dollar terms in 2019 is significantly lower than in more developed countries, such as the Baltic states and.
According to statistics, the highest salaries in Russia are observed in two cities of this country: Moscow and the cultural capital of the Russian Federation, St. Petersburg.
There has always been a large gap between average wages in Russia among regions. But in recent years (2017-2019), the trend of widening the gap between indicators has only intensified. This is primarily due to the onset of the economic crisis, as a result of which the foreign exchange rate sharply increased.
Due to the increase, the income of the population living in provincial areas decreased. Against this background, the unemployment rate has increased significantly. Therefore, many people from provincial regions moved to large cities for the purpose of employment.
The average salary in Russia in 2018-2019 is equal to 36 thousand rubles.

Analysis of minimum income by region
The minimum wage is the minimum salary that an organization can pay to its employee. In each region, the minimum wage rate is different.

The increase took effect on January 1, 2019. Until this moment, the smallest salary was 9,489 rubles.
But the size of the minimum wage also directly depends on the region and place of employment. The salaries of public sector employees in all regions of Russia are significantly lower than the salaries of people working in non-budgetary organizations.

Minimum wage as of 01/01/2017 according to statistical departments of different countries
According to the draft law, wages are expected to increase in 2019.
According to Article No. 129 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a person cannot receive a salary less than the established minimum wage level. But if a Russian citizen did not work all working days or did not fulfill his duties, the manager has the right to independently regulate the amount of his salary.
Salaries of public sector employees
Since January 1, 2019, salaries for public sector employees have increased by an average of 5%.
The salaries of teachers, medical personnel, military personnel and representatives of the judicial system were mainly increased. In 2017, the average salary of a public sector employee was 31,200 rubles. After the increase, this amount increased to 33,000 rubles.
In 2019, salaries of public sector employees are expected to increase at least twice. According to the presidential decree, such an increase in salaries for public sector employees should occur through the introduction of new reforms, for which funds in the amount of 4.6 trillion rubles have been allocated. 
But despite this, there is a tendency in Russia to delay wages. The delay in salaries affected primarily law enforcement officers and employees of the educational sector (teachers, pedagogues, university lecturers).
Employees of the Accounts Chamber receive approximately 171 thousand rubles per month. Members of the Federation Council receive 151 thousand rubles monthly. State Duma deputies earn 123 thousand rubles. Compared to last year, their salaries increased by 29%. In 2018, Kremlin employees were awarded a 5% salary increase, so in 2019 their salary is 206 thousand rubles.

The salaries of preschool teachers increased by 5%. In Moscow and St. Petersburg, the salary of a teacher ranges from 30 thousand to 35 thousand rubles per month. In Yekaterinburg, the salary of a kindergarten worker ranges from 16 thousand to 17 thousand rubles. In Perm, for a similar position they pay from 11 thousand to 13 thousand rubles.

In Crimea this year there is almost no debt on salaries for public sector employees. The level of average monthly wages is actively growing in this region. So in 2015, the average salary was 15 thousand rubles, in 2019 this figure increased to 29 thousand. Social workers receive the lowest salaries in the public sector. Their salary does not exceed 20 thousand per month.
The salary of doctors in this region is 21 thousand rubles, and university teachers and teachers receive approximately 28 thousand - 29 thousand rubles. Teachers of preschool institutions in Crimea earn from 10 thousand to 12 thousand rubles per month. Employees of preschool educational institutions in Sevastopol receive an average of 19 thousand rubles. 
The salary of a pilot at the state company Aeroflot directly depends on the number of flight hours:
- If the number of hours is 85 per month, then the pilot will receive at least 290 thousand rubles per month.
- If the number of hours is more than 90 per month, then the pilot’s salary will be about 340 thousand rubles per month.
The salary of a janitor working in a utility company directly depends on the region. So a janitor in Moscow receives from 22 thousand to 23 thousand rubles. In Chelyabinsk, a similar position pays 15 thousand rubles. In the cultural capital of the Russian Federation, the salary of a janitor is about 20 thousand rubles. In Tula and Yekaterinburg, janitors earn from 15 thousand to 16 thousand rubles.
Analysis of public sector wage arrears
Wage arrears in 2018 in the Russian Federation amounted to 3.8 billion rubles. Over the past month it has decreased by 5%. Due to the current situation, the Russian government intends to freeze the payment of wages to index pension payments in 2019.
The most difficult situation has developed in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. In this region, almost 7.8% of all public sector employees do not receive wages. In St. Petersburg, almost 6.9% of citizens do not receive their salary. In Crimea, more than 4% of residents no longer receive wages, and in Khabarovsk the debt indicator has already reached 4.3%.
Overdue debt arose due to the lack of own funds in the Russian Federation. The total share of this debt is 99.5%. The remaining 0.5% of debt is formed due to late receipt of money from budgets at all levels. This debt is equal to only 18 million rubles.
One of the highest paid professions in Russia is an oil platform worker engaged in oil and gas production. On average, for one day of work, a person can earn up to $300. But this job is not in great demand, even despite the high earnings due to difficult working conditions.
Lowest paid professions
TOP 10 lowest paid professions in Russia:
- Salesman. On average, a goods seller earns about 17 thousand rubles per month.
- Secretary. The salary of an office manager is 20 thousand rubles per month.
- Teacher. The average salary of a university teacher is 15 thousand rubles. But it is worth considering that famous professors and deans with a scientific degree receive an order of magnitude more. But even this amount cannot compare with the salary of a teacher in the USA, which is 87 thousand per year.
- Locksmith. This specialty belongs to the middle class professions in Russia. A highly qualified specialist can receive up to 60 thousand rubles per month. And mechanics working in public utilities receive no more than 23 thousand rubles per month.
- Nanny or governess. In 2014, representatives of this profession received about 70 thousand rubles monthly. But due to the crisis and difficult economic situation in the country, their salaries have decreased significantly. Today, the average salary of a nanny in Moscow is 30 thousand - 35 thousand rubles.
- Sales Representative. The average monthly salary of a representative of this profession is 40 thousand rubles.
- Hairdresser. It is worth noting that a hairdresser’s salary directly depends on the number of clients. Therefore, on average, hairdressers earn from 13 thousand rubles per month.
- Doctor. The average salary of a doctor in Russia is 28 thousand rubles. Junior medical personnel receive from 13 thousand rubles. A nurse's salary starts from 15 thousand rubles in more developed regions.
- Teacher. The average salary in the specialty is 30 thousand rubles.
- Teacher in preschool children's institutions. The minimum salary for a teacher is 10 thousand rubles per month.
A doctor is a very popular profession in the Russian Federation. All over the world, representatives of the medical industry are highly valued and receive considerable money for their work. But, unfortunately, the same cannot be said about Russia. Despite all the prestige of the profession, the salaries of doctors in this state leave much to be desired.
Only 20% of doctors in the Russian Federation receive a decent salary for such a responsible profession. The remaining 80% receive average wages.
A doctor’s salary directly depends on the region in which the specialist carries out his work. In more developed and large cities, such as Moscow or St. Petersburg, doctors receive higher salaries than employees of the medical industry in provincial areas and regions.

Table: average salary of doctors in Russia by district in 2018.
From the above tables we can conclude that by district the Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets districts take the lead in terms of doctor’s salary. The highest salaries for doctors in Russia are in the following areas:
- Leningradskaya.
- Moscow.
- Magadan.
- Chukotka.
- Kamchatskaya.
If we compare the salaries of doctors by region with the levels of average salaries, the Altai Republic becomes the leader. Doctors in this republic earn 202.3% more than the average salary in the region. In St. Petersburg this figure is 137%, while in Moscow this figure is only 18.9%. Therefore, the wages of Moscow doctors can hardly be called high compared to the average monthly income of other professions.
Analysis of the salary level of doctors by specialty
In Russia in 2019, the average salary of doctors is approximately 35 thousand rubles.
But even despite this, there is a catastrophic shortage of qualified medical personnel in the Russian Federation.
