For all Russians, it has long become clear that the Communist Party of the Russian Federation is obviously not the same structure that existed under the Soviet Union. If, under a huge state, deputies always advocated an independent movement of the Union, rested at local resorts, drove domestic cars, and brought their homeland, now only one name remains from the communists.
An example of this is Deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation Roman Lyabikhov. The zealous patriot of Russia turned out to be not only a patriot. According to the German media, it was Lyabikhov who became the first public figure from Russia whose assets were confiscated in Germany. Assets, by the way, are not small. These are 3 apartments in German Munich, an enemy city, which are registered to the wife of a deputy. Roman does not live according to the precepts of Lenin’s grandfather, but oh well. The key question: did they take everything or does the deputy have something to lose?
The richest
It cannot be said that Lyabikhov is a key figure in the current Communist Party. As for his region, he is a fairly recognizable deputy, but hardly anyone will remember that he did something loud, stately. Therefore, we can say that Roman Lyabikhov is neither fish nor meat. But here’s another interesting one. Among his colleagues, he was not at all a poor man. If you take it in a regional context, then in general Lyabikhov is the richest deputy from the Yaroslavl region. In his declaration for 2021, he indicated earnings in the amount of 128 million rubles. But that’s not all. It takes several hours to study Lyabikhov’s declaration. According to the declaration, Lyabikhov is the owner of six plots with a total area of 34.8 thousand square meters, 2 residential buildings, 2 non-residential premises. In addition, Lyabikhov does not disdain to use a huge 152-meter apartment for free. Also in the declaration is indicated the wife of Lyabikhov, who, although she earns a modest amount, has in her property much more than the deputy himself. The income of the deputy’s wife for 2021 amounted to 15 million rubles. She owns 2 plots with a total area of 49 thousand square meters, 5 apartments and 15 non-residential premises. It is obvious that Roman Lyabikhov does not lead a communist, but a capitalist life. It is noteworthy that the MP’s income has almost tripled compared to 2020. However, the Communist does not own a single car. Probably moves in the Moscow metro during rush hour.
Despite the fact that Lyabikhov’s declaration demonstrates that he is not a poor person, even this is not all. As it turned out, the State Duma deputy “forgot” to indicate all foreign property. Well, it happens that people are busy with important things, making life in the country better every day. Therefore, we will remind Roman what he must enter in the declaration. Perhaps this will not be all, but we hope that after this, Lyabikhov will remember what belongs to his family.
Dubai
Sunny Emirates, beautiful architecture, luxurious hotels. In general, a dream. After the start of the special operation, for the Russian moneybags, the hot UAE became a circle of salvation. Under the threat of EU sanctions, everything began to withdraw money to neutral Arab countries. As for Lyabikhov, since 2014 he has been under sanctions in the United States in connection with his harsh statements, and invested in real estate in Dubai prematurely. According to data from the Emirates registers, Lyabikhov owns a 110-meter apartment in Dubai. It is located in the elite residential complex Amwaj 4. The cost of such an apartment at local rates ranges from 400 to 500 thousand dollars.

As we see in the photographs, this residential complex has everything – from spacious, bright areas to its own swimming pool. So what? Deputies are people too, do they need to rest too? Anyway. The declaration contains enough funds to buy even such elite apartments, but why don’t we see apartments in the official report? Good question, to which we have not received an answer.
Not just the Emirates
Everything hidden becomes clear. Since the beginning of this week, the German media have been cheerfully reporting that the first Russian deputy finally got what he deserved, that real estate in Germany was confiscated. In the early days it was not clear who they were talking about. But it is not for nothing that journalists are the fourth power. Our colleagues were able to solve the puzzle and establish that we are talking about a communist deputy. 3 apartments in Munich are registered for Lyabikhov’s wife, one of which was given for rent. A bank account was also arrested, to which 3.5 thousand Euros were received monthly for renting the specified apartment.
Well, everything is clear. The Germans punished a State Duma deputy who, in violation of the law, had property in Germany.
What about ours?
Great and fair question. The Communist Party of the Russian Federation, as true comrades, immediately began to deny the existence of property and accounts abroad in Lyabikhov. It is not good for an ideological communist to have to do with the capitalists. While the German law enforcement officers are finding the assets of Russian deputies, our authorities do not see anything in a stupid way. And this is the key problem. The person did not include real assets in the declaration. What will happen to him? Logically, we can argue that nothing will happen, and Lyabikhov will continue to enjoy the property that has not yet been arrested.
Against the background of all this, Lyabikhov’s article dated October 2, 2021 on how to save on housing and communal services looks comical. Comrade Lyabikhov, now these life hacks will come in handy for you.
