AS 350 В3 Helicopter
State Duma deputy Grigory Anikeev from the United Russia party owns a light single-engine helicopter by the French company Eurocopter. This "toy" costs €2.8 million. The vehicle is unique as it can be used for flights under extreme conditions. A French test pilot landed on the summit of Everest on the same helicopter in 2005. Apart from the helicopter, Grigory Anikeev also bought two Mercedes cars, two motor boats, and two medical service vehicles. Besides, his garage includes a tracked two-section all-terrain vehicle, produced in 1974 by the Swedish company Hagglunds for the needs of the army.
Three-wheeled off-road vehicle
A three-wheeled off-road vehicle belongs to State Duma deputy Alexei Didenko from the Liberal Democratic Party. This mechanical beast is produced in the Russian Federation, at the enterprise named after V. A. Degtyarev. The vehicle’s features allow it to drive across sandy, snowy, swampy, rocky terrain with utmost ease. A larger volume of tires also enables the vehicle to swim, albeit with a limited load - no more than 150 kg.

The owner of the truck crane is State Duma deputy Alexander Zhulikov from the United Russia party. The cost of the special vehicle is in the region of 8.5 million rubles. The truck crane can lift loads weighing up to 25 tons to a height of no more than 40 m.
Refueling truck
A refueling truck is owned by State Duma deputy Vladislav Reznik from the United Russia party. The approximate cost of such a vehicle is estimated at 1.7 million rubles.

The truck’s capacity is measured at 4.9 cubic meters.
TREKOL floating all-terrain vehicle
State Duma deputy Vladislav Reznik from the United Russia party also owns a floating six-wheeled all-terrain vehicle. The price tag is 3.9 million rubles. The vehicle drives on ultra-low pressure tires, so it can pass through the tundra moss without damaging it. That is why the all-terrain vehicle was given such a name - "TREKOL" ("TRansport EKOLogichesky"). The body totally made of fiberglass reduces its thermal conductivity. It means that the all-terrain vehicle can be used in conditions of low and high temperatures in the range from -60 ° C to + 60 ° C. The seating capacity is eight people. Its maximum speed is 70 km / h. Remarkably, TREKOL can move along public roads since it is not too wide.
