In this building, right in the center of London, is an apartment belonging to Russian Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov, purchased for £11.5 million (688 million rubles). In his official disclosure, the crooked deputy prime minister claims that he rents the apartment, but the Anti-Corruption Foundation found that this is a lie. Shuvalov rents the apartment from a company owned by him and his wife. In other words, from himself. An interesting fact: for this ultra-luxurious 500-square-meter apartment, Deputy Prime Minister Shuvalov has to pay a special tax on high-value real estate to the British treasury—£71,000, or 6.6 million rubles. Every year. And that is more than the official’s entire declared annual income.
