Gordon Brown was paid more than £120,000 for appearing at a four-hour conference – a rate of £500 a minute.
The former Labour Prime Minister received the fee for speaking to financiers in Russia in February, although he was said not to have personally taken ‘a penny’.
He was a guest speaker at the Russia Forum, Moscow’s equivalent to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland, where Russian President Vladimir Putin was also speaking.
Former PM Gordon Brown was paid more than £120,000 for appearing at a four-hour conference in Russia
The event was jointly sponsored by the Kremlin-owned Sberbank and the country’s oldest privately owned investment bank, Troika Dialog.
Mr Brown was given £124,494, as well as expenses of £4,000 for flights and accommodation for him and staff. The details are revealed in the House of Commons Register of Members’ Interests.
It states: ‘Payment of £124,494.99 for speech to Troika Dialog and Sberbank in Moscow. Hours: 4hrs. Flights and accommodation also paid for me and my staff: value £4,018.49.’
The speech follows other appearances at high-profile events in Russia by Tony Blair and Peter Mandelson – suggesting that senior figures from the last Labour Government have maintained close links with Russia despite the UK’s frosty relations with Moscow.
Blair and Mandelson have spoken at Troika-sponsored events, but it has refused to reveal their fees. Sberbank is run by German Gref, one of Mr Putin’s closest allies and a close friend of Lord Mandelson
The Commons Register also reveals that Mr Brown was paid £61,000 for a speech to another Russian bank, Alfa, last November.

Since leaving office in 2010, Mr Brown, MP for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, has been criticised for his work in Parliament.
This year, he has tabled just seven parliamentary questions and has not taken part in a single Commons debate.
A spokesman for Mr Brown said: ‘Not a single penny from speeches nor books goes to Mr Brown personally.’
Money earned from such events was donated either direct to charities or to support ‘the charitable and public service work’ of Mr Brown and his wife Sarah.

Plenty of the Left Wing have been taking money from Russia for years so why the surprise at Brown doing it. At least his does not directly lead back to Lubyanka Square.

If he didn’t take 1 penny of the cash why does he have to declare anything in the register of members interest other than the free flights and accommodation?

I suspect these financiers hired him so they could learn how he destoryed the UK economy so they could avoid doing the same to Russia.
