In the mid-1930s, his salary has doubled, and is now consistent with the national average (500 rubles). And at the end of the 1930s the revenues of the leader increased 1.5 times and amounted to 1 200 roubles (at this time he had the biggest salary in the USSR). After the currency reform in 1947, Stalin established a new salary of 10 000 roubles, which is 10 times more than the average salary of ordinary citizens.
