According to the forecasts of the 2021 Ministry of Finance, this year the budget was supposed to receive 1 trillion rubles in dividends. However, in fact, the budget will receive only 300 billion, which is half as much as last year.

More than half of this amount the state will get from Rosneft, 20% from Transneft and 10% from Tatneft.

For the first time in 24 years, Gazprom did not pay dividends, but nevertheless, the budget will receive more than 1.2 trillion rubles in taxes from the company.
