Deputy Head of the Russian Treasury, Alexander Sukonkin, is living the best life, according to VChK-OGPU and Rucriminal.info. He declares himself a "pauper" and doesn't even own an apartment. He requests a state subsidy to afford some kind of housing. However, his children, including minors, have become owners of real estate worth over $1 million in recent years. The rise in Sukonkin's children's wealth coincided with his assumption of oversight of all construction work at the treasury.
Sukonkin worked in the treasuries of the Bryansk Region and Mordovia before Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin took notice. Mishustin was appointed prime minister in 2020, and a year later, he brought Sukonkin to Moscow. History remains silent on their connection. In March, Sukonkin was appointed director of the Federal State Institution "Center for Support of the Activities of the Russian Treasury." In this position, he oversaw the spending of over 1.5 billion rubles allocated for major repairs of department facilities. In 2024, Sukonkin was promoted for his successful work and appointed Deputy Head of the Federal Treasury by Mishustin.
According to his income declaration, Sukonkin is one of the poorest officials. Publicly available data shows that this modest official's total annual income before taxes did not exceed 1 million rubles per year, and in 2019-2020 alone, it was around 2 million rubles per year. The poor fellow doesn't even have a place to live in Moscow. After his transfer to the capital, Alexander Sukonkin was provided with a company apartment from the state fund for comfortable living and work. At the end of 2024, due to the lack of his own housing in Moscow, as a low-income person, he received a one-time housing subsidy from the federal budget in excess of 20 million rubles.
As our project discovered, Sukonkin's children are in a much better housing situation. In 2021, a month after his appointment to the Moscow Center and gaining access to construction funds, Alexander Sukonkin registered a premium-class apartment of 78.4 square meters in the Xeadliner residential complex (39 Shmitovsky Proezd, Bldg. 2) with views of Moscow City in the name of his minor daughter Marina (she was 15 at the time).
And in February 2024, after receiving his promotion, an apartment in the premium Hide residential complex (1st Setunsky Proezd) was registered in the name of his son Kirill. Its total area is 96.1 square meters.
The value of the two apartments exceeds $1 million.
Such are the successful children of a modest and impoverished official.
