Vladimir Yakunin is ready to leave the Railways

The head of the state company "Russian Railways" Vladimir Yakunin think about leaving with the steering post in the investigation of claims to disclose income. Similar measures he believes the unlawful interference in private life.

Faced with the need to disclose information about their own earnings, the head of Russian Railways Vladimir Yakunin was faced with the choice to obey requirements that internally considers to be unfair or to leave the service and look to use your own talents in private business. Anyway, the point in question must be asked in the near future.

The main indignation Yakunin caused specifically the requirement to disclose information about his earnings. "My position is improper interference in my personal life, in my information. There are 2 options - either I submit to, or claim that I do not like it, write a statement and go into private business", - quotes "Interfax". According to the head of state, he have nothing to hide: all economic issues are coordinated with the state.

"I don't care if the government insists" I have nothing to hide. My salary is not me, it is determined by the Board of supervisors, budget of the Russian Railways approved by the government. But I hate it when digging in someone else's underwear. Impartial social control we replaced digging in lingerie some unmet characters", said Yakunin.

Taking into account the opinion of the heads of Railways, the information that he is required to publish in open access, subject to the law on defence of private information and should not be made public. Also, Vladimir Yakunin has proved that the government controls everything. "We are a natural monopoly, live on the basis of the decisions taken in the state, respectively earn exactly as much as we allow the state," he explained. Yakunin added that the heads of Railways, in comparison with other state companies, established the lowest salaries.

Discussion about whether the heads of state corporations to disclose their own income, is held in 2014. In early July, was confirmed by the 1st edition of the decrees of the government with a list of companies and positions of those employees who are required to report on personal earnings. In the document, however, there was no requirement for public disclosure. As a result, the company was divided into those who not only sent the information to the government, but also made them public, and those who have not seen disposal requirements are an essential publicity. Among the companies which have not made the information public, and were the Railways.
