expensive purchase

"Crimea was never a unique territory for us, - says Nikolay Azarov, head of the Ukrainian government with Viktor Yanukovich. - Is that from the standpoint of recreation potential. " On the Peninsula development program until 2020 Kiev spent in 2010-2011 to 1 billion hryvnia per year (about $ 120 million at the then exchange rate).

"It was quite a large sum for us, - said Azarov. - Crimeans are well aware that, for example, sitting in a new trolleybus from Simferopol to Yalta, they sit on a bus, purchased under this program. " But in 2012, the amount of direct subsidies had to be cut - it was necessary to find the money to host the European Football Championship.

The fact that the Russian development of a new region will cost much more expensive, it became clear immediately after his accession in March last year. But the exact amount could not call anybody. Vice-speaker of the Federation Council Yevgeny Bushmin supervising financial legislation and questions of budgetary sphere, then expressed the opinion that it will be exactly the cheaper the Sochi Olympics (according to expert estimates – about $ 50 billion).

RBC Sources in the government then called a ballpark figure - about $ 3 billion (about 110 billion rubles at the current rate of mid-March last year.), Including social payments, transfers to the budget deficit compensation of the new region and the cost of infrastructure, including construction of a bridge through the Kerch Strait.

In April, during a straight line President Vladimir Putin praised the budget expenditure on development of the Crimea in 2014 to 100 billion rubles. excluding investments in infrastructure. Taking into account integration costs of transport and energy infrastructure will require 130 billion rubles., Were counted in June, experts Sberbank Center for Macroeconomic Research.

Crimean estimates

invaluable

"From the point of view of budgetary reporting, 125 billion is spent transparently, - says Vartapetov. - Often, the amount of cash execution of expenditure does not coincide with the amount budgeted. " But it is an incomplete amount of government spending in the Crimea. Part of the money spent ministries and agencies on the ongoing activities in the region.

In March 2014, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev ordered the creation of the Crimea territorial bodies of all ministries and departments.

Their total sum amounted to 2.37 billion rubles. Most of all spent Roskomnadzor. He was limited to one order, the total value of which exceeded the purchase of any other government agencies in the region. Services in data transfer via secure channels of communication and the organization secure access to a single information system service cost 390 million rubles.

Slightly less than the cost of the local FSB were: in 2014 she purchased at RUR 379.5 million. (Initial price of the contract), of which 276.7 million were allocated for the purchase of apartments in Simferopol. In the list of leaders also hit Enterprise "Krym-Pharmacy", the Interior Ministry and the Investigative Committee roskazni who have spent for their Crimean units from 100 to 300 million rubles.
