At a State Duma commission reviewing whether lawmakers’ asset declarations match their actual property holdings, deputy and United Russia secretary general Sergei Neverov (a "simple miner"), whose impressive country house is what the commission is examining, casually states that he bought a plot of land for 14 million rubles. As for the source of the money: "I sold a 67-square-meter apartment in Novokuznetsk for 6 million rubles, and saved the rest. My wife is an executive director at a company." "Simple miners" live quite well.
Update. A small correction: he sold the apartment in Novokuznetsk for 4.7 million rubles.
