Which charitable foundation is headed by Khamitov’s wife? Charity-criminal lottery of the Khamitovs

The family of the head of Bashkiria is “pocketing” the business.

The government of the Republic of Bashkortostan decided to privatize the State Unitary Enterprise Mudtekhnika. This will be done next year. It is noteworthy that the company is headed by former Deputy Prime Minister of Bashkiria Fidus Yamaltdinov. He has long been a figure close to the head of the republic, Rustem Khamitov.

Observers say that after the privatization of Medtekhnika, it will be controlled by the first businesswoman of the region, Gulshat Khamitova, who is also the wife of the head of the republic. Thus, the Khamitov business clan will increase in one more segment...

Your loved one?

Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan - Rustem Khamitov. A former high-ranking top manager of RusHydro, the very same office where, during the period of his work, actually the second person after the head of the state-owned company Doda, a billion rubles mysteriously disappeared in such a mysterious way that even President V. Putin could not find it. True, citizen Khamitov escaped with a slight fright and soon became the head of Bashkortostan, and now his son Kamil is happily working in the management of RusHydro.

Having headed the Republic of Bashkortostan, Khamitov immediately became concerned social security yourself and your family. On December 26, 2014, members of the Kurultai (parliament) promptly adopted the law “On the Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan,” which consolidates the powers and guarantees of the first person of the region before and after his resignation, as well as members of his family. It is interesting that in the new law, Bashkir deputies secured for his family not only the right to free protection of property and housing, but also to medical and transport services, sanatorium treatment and communications. Mr. Khamitov’s wife also received the opportunity, at government expense, to accompany her husband to official ceremonies and receptions.

The head of the republic, during his work and after his resignation, is provided with a salary, a state dacha, a state apartment, sanatorium and resort treatment, security, as well as the right to free travel throughout the republic and payment of all expenses associated with the performance of official duties. After retirement, he can apply for a one-time cash benefit in the amount of an annual salary, and upon reaching retirement age - 80% of the salary and a staff of assistants paid from the budget. It is easy to calculate the size of Rustem Zakievich’s future pension, taking into account the fact that in 2015 his earnings amounted to 7 million 642 thousand rubles.

Dear Gulshat

The Markhamat fund had two main sponsors who poured multimillion-dollar sums into the structure in 2012-2014 - Ural Lotto LLC and Promtransbank. Here is an excerpt from the Foundation’s report for 2012, which the organizers preferred not to advertise: “Starting from the 2nd quarter of 2012, the main amount of funding for the Center’s expenses child development is made at the expense of targeted deductions from the “Loto 6 of 40 and Joker” lottery in accordance with agreements with Ural Lotto LLC.

An insatiable fund?

According to available documents, every year millions of so-called “play money”, received from the then most popular lottery “Loto 6 out of 40 and Joker”, promoted through the media in Bashkiria, passed through the Markhamat fund. To make the volumes clear, I will say that in just one year the official (only official!) profit of Ural Lotto LLC, which conducts this very lottery, amounted to more than 200 million rubles.

The result, apparently, suited everyone. Millions of gaming money (mainly played and lost by elderly people, poor families, teenagers) went to the Markhamat fund of the wife of the head of the region, Gulshat Khamitova. The organizers of the huge lottery themselves received preferential taxation for their “charity” and, of course, the friendly disposition of the head of the Republic of Bashkortostan, Rustem Khamitov. And this, as you understand, means a lot. Especially in the regions.

The second sponsor of Gulshat Khamitova’s fund was, as already mentioned, Promtransbank. Here the story is even more interesting.

In 2014, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Bashkortostan opened a criminal case against unidentified officials Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Bashkortostan in connection with damage to the state in the amount of 9.8 million rubles. As follows from the investigation materials, Ministry officials instructed the Fund for the Development and Support of Small Business of the Republic of Belarus in August 2013 to transfer the Fund’s funds in the amount of 537.7 million rubles for storage in PromTransBank LLC. Previously, the Fund placed its money in OJSC Akibank and OJSC Bashkomsnabbank, where the interest rates were significantly higher than those of PromTransBank.

As a result of the new decree, for 5 months of 2013, the Republic of Bashkortostan received less money in interest in the amount of 9.8 million rubles. As the investigation revealed, if the funds had remained in the same accounts, the interest would have amounted to 16 million rubles. Instead, the Fund received interest in the amount of about 6.2 million rubles from PromTransBank.

As part of the criminal investigation, searches were carried out in the office and apartment of Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Yevgeny Mavrin (minister), as well as in the apartment of the ex-minister economic development RB Alexandra Maryina. Let us remind you that Maryin left the post of minister in November 2013, becoming... an assistant to the head of Bashkortostan (!!!) Rustem Khamitov.

That is, Promtransbank, which was the sponsor of the fund of the wife of the head of the region, suddenly, in violation of everyone regulatory documents receives account management government structure for an amount exceeding half a billion rubles. Moreover, by this very transfer of accounts the state loses almost 10 million rubles on interest alone. However, it turned out to be very profitable to invest millions in charity if it is commanded by the wife of the head of the Republic.

Yes, and more. As it became known, Ms. Khamitova was even supposed to be interrogated in the Promtransbank case and asked how the transfer of government accounts was connected with the sponsorship of her charitable foundation. But, alas, the investigators somehow didn’t work out with the interrogation. It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which opened the case in 2014, was located in the Republic of Bashkortostan, and Khamitova’s husband is the head of this same Republic of Bashkortostan. Probably a coincidence.

A bunch of “energy”?

As The Moscow Post learned, the wife of the head of Bashkiria found a company whose name, location of its head office and field of activity raise very big questions. The full namesake of Khamitov’s wife owned a blocking stake in the Ayvest company (25%).

This modest structure attracts attention with its main owner - the Italian company "European Energetics", registered in the Italian city of Sacile at the address Marco Meneghini, 3. Its statutory documents list the following types activities: supply of equipment for energy, mechanical engineering, railway transport etc.

In addition, in Italy there is a company with a similar name - Europe Energy Gas & Power - this largest producer gas equipment, including for small-scale energy.

By coincidence, during the period when Gulshat Khamitova was setting up her foreign business, RusHydro was actively engaged in the construction of mini-hydroelectric power stations together with “Italian” colleagues. Mini-hydroelectric power plants were an ideal area for non-transparent work - equipment was imported from abroad; the program, according to experts, could be co-financed using the most non-transparent schemes, and most importantly, from regional or even municipal budgets.

It is not surprising that such a project was implemented in Bashkiria. On October 1, 2010, in Ufa, an agreement was signed on cooperation between the government of the Republic of Bashkortostan and JSC RusHydro in the electric power industry, assistance in attracting investment in the construction of renewable energy sources. The document was signed by Dod and Khamitov.

In accordance with the agreement, the government of Bashkortostan pledged to adopt a program for the development of small hydropower and other renewable energy sources in the republic, previously developed jointly with JSC RusHydro. The agreement also provided for the parties’ assistance in attracting industrial orders to Bashkortostan on a market basis in order to develop the production and, as a consequence, energy potential of the republic and create new jobs in the region.

At the same time, a joint project with the French company Alstom (which produces power equipment and railway rolling stock) was announced to build a plant for the production of equipment for mini-hydroelectric power plants.

Thus, a company, 25% of which could belong to the wife of the head of the republic and which was supposed to export energy equipment and equipment for railways, may have been a pad for equipment exports in a scheme that included a major international engineering company, Russian hydropower and Doda's gray schemes.

Whether Khamitov’s wife actually had such company will be revealed by the investigation. But it is obvious that Dod’s arrest will not pass without leaving a trace for the head of Bashkiria!

The head of the Republic of Bashkiria, Rustem Khamitov, is a rather interesting person. This is evidenced by the fact that the federal media talk and write about him almost as much as the regional ones. How does he attract everyone's attention? Let's try to figure it out together.

Childhood

Rustem Khamitov's father, Zaki Salimovich Khamitov, was a professor, Doctor of Technical Sciences, and Honored Engineer of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Mother, Raisa Siniyatulovna, worked as a mathematics teacher. She was always close to her husband, right at the very beginning family life went after him to Kemerovo region, where he worked in a mine and then raised virgin soil. The couple lived in the small village of Drachenino for 5 years, and two children were born there (Rustem has younger brother- Rashid). Afterwards, the Khamitov family returned back to Bashkiria.

The biography of Rustem Khamitov as a whole is no different from the biography of the average resident of Russia.

He graduated from a regular secondary school high school in Ufa. I studied well, the certificate had only one B - in English.

The boy was fond of sports: he worked out at the stadium, attended the gymnastics section, in which he had the first adult category.

The dream of following in his father’s footsteps and becoming an engineer led him to the largest engineering university in the country.

In 1971 he went to Moscow. Despite his mother’s entreaties, his father did not go with him, deciding that his son was already old enough and independent. The young man entered the Moscow Higher Technical School the first time. N.E. Bauman. But studying was no longer as easy as at school. Mostly the young man received C's and B's. In 1977, he graduated from the university, receiving a diploma in "Engines" aircraft».

From assistant foreman to head of the scientific department

Immediately after graduating from university, Rustem Khamitov decided to return to his homeland. He got a job, first as an assistant foreman, and then as a foreman at the Ufa Engine Production Association.

In 1978, he went to work in and “rose” to the rank of senior researcher.

From 1986 to 1988 he headed the laboratory for the ground use of aircraft engines, and from 1998 to 1990 - the research and production department of VNIIST.

The road to politics

Khamitov's political career began with his election as a people's deputy of the Supreme Council of the Bashkir Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic in 1990. Three years later, he was appointed director of the Institute of Applied Ecology and Environmental Management of Bashkortostan, was involved in the implementation of environmental programs on a regional scale, and also developed the concept of environmental and industrial safety of the republic.

• From 1994 to 1996, Khamitov headed the Ministry of Security environment Bashkortostan, after which he was appointed Minister of emergency situations and a member of the Security Council of Bashkortostan.
• In 2000, Rustem Zakievich was appointed chief federal inspector for the Republic of Bashkortostan, and since 2002, acting deputy representative of the President of the Russian Federation for the Volga district.
• In 2004, he became the head of Rosvodresursov, and since 2009, Deputy Chairman of the Board of RusHydro.
• In 2010, Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed Khamitov as acting President of the Republic, and subsequently signed a decree recognizing him as president. Rustem Khamitov twice combined this position with the post of Chairman of the Government.
• In September 2014, he was re-elected for a second term.

Nationality and religion

By nationality, Rustem Khamitov is Bashkir. He considers the Bashkir language his native language, but he also speaks Russian perfectly. He also speaks English fluently.

Rustem Zakirovich professes Islam. During the first trip to Saudi Arabia As president of Bashkiria in 2011, Khamitov performed Umrah, the lesser hajj to Mecca.

Personal life

Khamitov’s family is small: a wife, two children and grandchildren. He had known his wife, Gulshat Gafurovna, since childhood. And they got married almost immediately after Rustem Zakirovich returned from Baumanka. Together married couple for more than 35 years. By profession, Gulshat Gafurovna is a functional diagnostics doctor. Now she devotes all her time to the Markhamat charitable foundation, of which she is president.

The son and daughter of Rustem Khamitov live in Moscow. Kamil Rustemovich, an engineer by training, now works at RusHydro, and his daughter Nuria runs a tourism business.

In 2011, Khamitov became a grandfather for the first time. Now he already has three grandchildren.

Photos of Rustem Khamitov with his family rarely become public.

All Khamitov's relatives - simple people. Among them are teachers, doctors, workers. For example, Khamitov’s brother, Rashid, works as a driver in Ufa; he has dreamed of this profession since childhood and is not going to change anything.

As Rustem Zakirovich himself states, his family does not strive for wealth. He also talks about the modest demands of himself and his wife.

Let's see if his income shows this.

Income

According to data for 2016, the income for 12 months of the head of Bashkiria amounted to 7.17 million rubles (half a million less than in 2015).

The spouse’s income for the same period was 123 thousand rubles (for 2015 - only 15,000).

Rustem Khamitov owns a personal plot of 3.7 acres and a residential building of 25.7 square meters. m., and my wife has an apartment of 120.5 sq. m. m.

The couple also has a service apartment with an area of ​​79.9 square meters. m and dacha - 444 sq. m.

There's a lot to say thank you for

The positive aspects of Rustem Khamitov coming to govern Bashkortostan are as follows:

• GDP grew almost twofold over the period from 2010 to 2014, outpacing the Russian average;
• the influx of investment into the region has noticeably increased;
• the international rating of the republic changed from stable to positive;
• The national procurement transparency ranking moved Bashkortostan from 34th to 2nd place in terms of the “Guaranteed Transparency” indicator.

Rustem Zakirovich has repeatedly noted that he really loves his native republic, its population and nature. He claims that he has visited all corners of Bashkiria and has many friends among ordinary people.

Accusations

Regional and federal media often contain reports about the illegal actions of the head of Bashkiria. Here are some of them:

• In 2013, Sergei Mironov, leader of A Just Russia, accused him of rigging the results of parliamentary elections. As a result, they almost accepted the resignation of Rustem Khamitov. This would be the first time the head of the republic was removed from office.
• Row public figures Bashkortostan, led by Azamat Galin, accused Khamitov of causing damage to the regional budget in the amount of 68 billion rubles as a result of approving the deal to merge the assets of Soda and Kaustik.
• All the same persons charged Rustem Zakirovich with harming the environment and destroying forests due to a construction permit granted to Kronospan-Bashkortostan LLC.
• Some experts believe that since Rustem Khamitov came to power, the level of corruption in the region has increased sharply. It is not possible to measure this level quantitatively, but the growth of public debt can be recorded. During Khamitov’s first term, it grew by more than 60%.
• Rustem Zakirovich was also accused of illegally allocating funds to celebrate the anniversary Supreme Court republic, equating this to bribery of the judiciary.

Resignation

In connection with numerous accusations against the head of Bashkortostan, the most discussed topic in the region was the question of whether Rustem Zakirovich Khamitov’s resignation will take place in 2017.

Almost everyone who starts a conversation about the possible resignation of the head of Bashkiria comes to the conclusion that this will not happen, even despite the “personnel purge” in the republic.

Federal experts assessing the stability of the work of regional heads included Khamitov on the “yellow” list of governors.

In total, they identified three such groups:

• green, here are those who have nothing to fear;
• red, consisting of governors who are likely to be dismissed;
• yellow, which includes regional heads whose chances of remaining in their place are assessed as 50/50.

The following facts play into Khamitov’s hands:

Good connection with the federal center.

The presence of plans for the future of the region (in 2019, Bashkortostan turns 100 years old. Many projects are dedicated to this event, including the construction of several large facilities).

The attractiveness of the republic for business (large businessmen are in no hurry to “wind up their business” and move to the capital or St. Petersburg, as in neighboring regions).

Own style of behavior and strict adherence to it.

Ability to manage (experts do not call him a clear leader, but they do not note any shortcomings in his management style).

The following arguments work in favor of resignation:

Khamitov has conflicts with some federal politicians and large businessmen.

Both ordinary residents and the elite of Bashkortostan express dissatisfaction with the work of the head of the region.

There's a little time left until the next elections more than a year(they will take place in 2019), which also increases the chances of resignation, according to experts.

Like any politician, Rustem Khamitov has many supporters and opponents. It will be possible to objectively evaluate the work of a politician only after some time. For now, we can only hope that Bashkiria will prosper and develop regardless of who comes to power.

It is difficult to overestimate the role of a woman in a man’s life. Especially if this man is vested with authority and is in plain sight all the time. Minister, for example. Or even the governor. Or even the president of an entire republic.

The always curious public needs to know: what does the wife of the first person do, is she pretty, how does she dress, and how well are they living? And if in Soviet times wives high-ranking officials weren’t featured much in the media, then the current halves modern politicians actively participate in public life, engage in charity work, establish more or less useful foundations, and accompany their official husbands everywhere. And those who are especially ambitious take the reins of power into their own hands, pushing their husbands into the background, as it seems to have happened in the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Modesty does not suit wives

Today it is difficult to track exactly when the media suddenly discovered that more and more often on official and social events President Rustem Khamitov himself turns out to be something of a wedding general, while all the attention of journalists turns to his wife. In the photo, Gulshat Gafurovna is always in the center. It’s funny, but true: even at the ballot box during the election of the head of state, the wife of the Bashkir president poses for a photographer with a wide smile, and somewhere behind her in the distance Rustem Zakievich looms.

However, why lie? Modesty and tact, apparently, are no longer considered the main adornment of a woman. Least of all, Gulshat Khamitova resembles an eastern khanum, whose most important task is to provide her husband with a strong rear and good name, without sticking out from behind his shoulder. This is exactly what her predecessor Luiza Rakhimov was like: one could only guess about her role in the politics pursued by Murtaza Rakhimov, the first president of Bashkortostan, although there was a lot of gossip in her time. Louise kept in the shadow of her official husband, however, according to rumors, she provided her husband with great support in governing the republic. Like Gulshat, she influenced the appointment and dismissal of mayors, and took part in organizing major transactions in the economic sphere. However, neither then nor today can one blame her for putting her husband in an awkward position in front of the public with her actions. This is what is called a sense of tact. Which, apparently, the current first lady of Bashkiria is sorely lacking.

However, values ​​tend to change over time. Among women's virtues, assertiveness, pragmatism and enterprise have long been listed as opposed to modesty, prudence and tact.

Who arranges the shots in Bashkiria

Gulshat Gafurovna, who, according to journalists, is distinguished by her intelligence and intelligence, saw through this extremely quickly. The wife of the President of Bashkortostan, they say knowledgeable people, V short time managed to completely take control of personnel issues in the republic.

For example, vice-mayor Alexander Filippov, at the suggestion of Khamitov’s wife, was appointed to manage the property of Ufa. They say that Gulshat pushed him into this place in order to shorten the agility of the ambitious Irek Yalalov, head of the administration of the Ufa urban district.

There are plenty of other examples. Thus, the president’s wife does not ignore the healthcare sector. And this is generally understandable: Mrs. Khamitova is a functional diagnostics doctor by profession. And now, as chairman of the board of trustees of the Markhamat charity foundation (translated from Bashkir as “mercy”), Khamitova is completely interested in having people loyal to her in the right positions in medicine.

That is why, according to rumors, the chief doctors of City Clinical Hospital No. 21 and City Clinical Hospital No. 22, Nazir Khafizov and Gafur Ishmukhametov, lost their positions. Because they collaborated not with the structure controlled by Gulshat Khamitova, but with another - with the Ural charitable foundation.

Well, the chairs of the hospital directors, before they had time to cool down, were immediately occupied by appointees of the president’s wife, Gulnara Mustafina and Irina Karamova. The first worked as a deputy director at the Republican Perinatal Center and - wow, what a coincidence! - is close friend and trusted doctor Gulshat Khamitova. The second headed the Republican Cardiac Center, and after she was transferred to work at Hospital No. 22, the position of the center’s head physician became vacant - oops, another coincidence! - for another friend of the president’s wife, Irina Nikolaeva. Need I say that both city clinical hospitals immediately interrupted cooperation with the Ural charitable foundation and focused on Markhamat?

Do they fear, does it mean they respect?

In addition, to the same bank in last years according to unofficial recommendations of certain persons close to Rustem Khamitov, large regional state enterprises. From the investigation materials it is clear that the money of the Fund for the Development and Support of Small Businesses was kept on deposits of Akibank and Bashkomsnabbank at 8–8.26% per annum. Both banks received the right to place guarantee fund funds on a competitive basis in 2011. And the government contract with them was supposed to end in November 2014.

However, in August 2013, the Ministry of Economic Development of Bashkiria ordered the withdrawal of the fund’s money from deposits and transfer it to Promtransbank LLC. This is where investigators believe the state lost money on interest payments. PTB at the end of December last year accrued interest to the fund in the amount of 6.1 million rubles. And under the previous contracts, the fund could have received all 16 million if it had not occurred to someone to transfer deposits to Ildar Mukhametdinov’s bank. According to preliminary estimates by investigators, damage to the state was caused in the amount of no less than 9.8 million rubles.

If Gulshat has something in mind, then one way or another, either herself or through her husband-president, she will definitely push through the “idea,” knowledgeable people in Bashkiria assure.

And what about the bureaucratic husband of the first lady, Rustem Khamitov? How does he react to the vigorous activity of his wife and the numerous unsightly rumors associated with her name? Judging by the fact that Gulshat Khamitova still appears on the front pages of Bashkir newspapers almost more often than he, the head of the republic, does not.

The goal of the strategy is to reduce interregional differences in the level and quality of life of people. The Russian Government has approved a plan for the implementation of the Spatial Development Strategy until 2025.

Scandals (rumors)

In 2011, research showed that Rustem Khamitov was among the top 10 best lobbyists in the Russian Federation (ranked 9th).

His activities were also noted by Fortune magazine, which stated that Khamitov’s economic policy allowed Bashkortostan to strengthen its position in the top ten among the regions of the Russian Federation. The presence of better industrial and economic indicators confirmed this.

Also, the reign of Rustem Khamitov was noted and rating agency"ExpertRA", according to a study of which Bashkortostan occupied the first position in the nomination "Minimal economic risks" in 2010-2011. Forbes magazine did not ignore the capital of the republic - the city of Ufa. According to the magazine, Ufa took second position among 30 cities in the Russian Federation in which it is best to do business (2012).

In 2013, Khamitov came under suspicion law enforcement and served as a witness in the RUSHYDRO case. Khamitov was accused of rigging the parliamentary elections at the end of 2013, in particular, by the leader of A Just Russia, Sergei Mironov.

According to civil activists, the head of Bashkiria violated the federal and republican constitution and a number of laws, which resulted in a “massive violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens of the Republic of Bashkortostan.” President of Bashkortostan Rustem Khamitov almost became the first head of the republic against whom the procedure for removal from office could be initiated (violation of the constitution).

Social activists led by Azamat Galin in October 2013 accused the president of violating the law “On the privatization of state and municipal property"and causing damage to the republic's budget of 68 billion rubles" with the approval of a major transaction to merge the assets of OJSC Soda and Caustic.

Moreover, activists note a violation of another law “On the President of the Republic of Bashkortostan” in connection with the unlawful transfer from the property of the republic to a private person of a blocking stake in the Ufa elastic materials plant.

Khamitov was also accused of illegally allocating funds from the republic’s budget to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the Supreme Court of Bashkiria, which, according to activists, is similar to bribery of judicial authorities. This is in the context of Khamitov being accused of “pressure on the court.” Participants political process in Bashkiria they note that the early termination of the powers of the chairman and judge of the Kirov District Court of Ufa, Munir Valeev, is associated with the acquittal he passed in July against the former Prime Minister of Bashkiria, Rail Sarbaev, a man opposed to the current president. But of course the case was not opened.

After the arrival of Rustem Khamitov, corruption in the republic increased greatly, the media reports the opinions of experts. Moreover, often the most notorious crimes began to be committed not only at the republican, but also at the municipal level. Not long ago, the 51-year-old deputy head of the Baimaksky municipal district administration, Konstantin Zamotaev, appeared in court on charges of malfeasance and fraud, along with his 49-year-old wife Natalya Zamotaeva.

Since the beginning of 2013, the state debt of Bashkiria has increased by 22%, over the past three years - by 60%. If in 2010 the deficit was 6.9 billion, then in 2013 it reached 17.9 billion rubles. For comparison, the first President of the Republic of Belarus, Murtaza Rakhimov, in 2010 transferred 38 billion rubles of free funds in the accounts of the republican government to the new leader of the republic.

The head of Bashkiria, Rustem Khamitov, gathers a faction of “his own” in the Kurultai - the State Assembly of the Republic of Belarus. The next protege of the head of Bashkiria may become Aigul Gareeva, who heads charitable foundation“Markhamat” and Khamitov’s niece. The day before, Aigul Gareeva was registered as a participant in the United Russia primaries in Belsky electoral district No. 45, located in the Karmaskalinsky and Davlekanovsky districts of Bashkiria - these are industrial and agricultural territories 50 km from Ufa. Apparently, the competition in the regional center embarrassed the former housewife - Gareeva had previously applied for Belorechensky district No. 5 in Ufa, but withdrew her candidacy without explaining the reasons. Khamitov himself took her place on the list. Today, political scientists say that the main republican official “has begun to strengthen the family contract,” and after the housewife, they expect new attempts by representatives of the Khamitov family clan to get “a worthy seat for them” in the republican state authorities.

The clan of Rustem Khamitov revealed its plans the day before - the niece of the head of the republic first reported and then registered for the primaries of the party in power. Let us recall that the leader of Bashkortostan himself once came to power as an antipode to his predecessor Murtaza Rakhimov. But over time, according to political scientists, “he began to more and more resemble the first president of the Republic of Belarus: Khamitov flirts with nationalists, under him budget money can disappear, nepotism and cronyism can flourish.”

“Murtaza Gubaidulovich has a son, Ural Rakhimov, against whom a criminal case has been opened in Russia. And Rustem Zakievich’s wife is in charge of many issues, and now a new protégé has appeared - a niece,” an interlocutor in the Ufa political beau monde comments on the situation.

Regional political scientists are confident that Gareeva will not be able to win without administrative resources: voters don’t know her, she took up public work quite recently - she headed the very Markhamat Charitable Foundation, the founder of which is the wife of the head of Bashkortostan, Gulshat Gafurovna Khamitova. In the republic, Khamitova is called nothing more than “the mistress of Bashkiria” and they say that she de facto rules the region.

Charitable Foundation "Markhamat" at the level regional government is positioned as “main” and “recommended” for any social and charitable projects in the Republic of Belarus. The prosecutor's office and the FSB may have quite a lot of questions about the fund, whose name goes back to the Arabic word for “mercy.”

"There may be interest in possible laundering Money: for example, he did not record a profit of about 3 million rubles in his accounts. from the organization (but state employees could be forced to buy tickets costing from 2 to 8 thousand rubles). Ending with connections with the lottery distributor Ural Loto LLC, money from whose activities were allegedly transferred as charitable contributions to Markhamat, and Promtransbank, from which more than half a billion rubles of the regional Fund for the Development and Support of Small Businesses disappeared,” shares his personal impression of the scandal Edra representative in the regional parliament.

Ms. Khamitova is also suspected of having common business interests with the fugitive ex-head of RusHydro Evgeny Dod, accused of embezzling 73 million rubles. Rustem Khamitov also comes from RusHydro, so the suspicions may not be unfounded.

Let us remind you that charity, unlike lotteries, is exempt from taxes. In addition, thanks to the family connections of the fund’s managers and the head of the Republic of Belarus, sponsors of the projects of the Markhamat Charitable Foundation actually have access to state resources and are quite able to “resolve issues” directly. “It is clearly known in the region that most personnel decisions, especially in the field social policy, healthcare, is accepted in “tandem” mode with the participation of Gulshat Khamitova,” says a source close to the government of the Republic of Belarus.

And now it turns out that another representative “ family contract", former housewife Aigul Gareeva suddenly became so ambitious that she decided to go into regional politics. She appears with the wife of the head of Bashkortostan, comments on the cultural events of the regional capital, and maintains an impeccable Instagram account from the point of view of political strategists - no yachts or diamonds.

However, the question still remains relevant: will the ex-housewife have enough experience to work as a deputy of the Kurultai. "Undoubtedly, charity projects, meetings for women's rights and others social events- this is work, worthy of respect and recognition. Is it worth giving up this job for the sake of a deputy seat?” they ask themselves in the parliament itself. “But if Rustem Khamitov has planned something - and he obviously planned to have his own people in the Kurultai - then he will definitely do it. He also has at his disposal family connections, and budgets, and administrative resources."

So, probably, Khamitov’s position in Bashkortostan and in the State Assembly of the Republic of Belarus in particular will be strengthened by another relative.

“Remember the sensational scandal with the director of the Bahetle grocery chain from Kazan? She said that homemade cakes were interfering with her business and called on the head of Tatarstan to fight craftswomen who bake desserts for friends for a small fee. This was such an administrative resource, which had no precedents in the past There was no Russia - following the complaint, bailiffs began to come to housewives and demand income declarations from them. But what about Tatarstan, in Bashkiria, for example, the saying about the cook running the state is about to become a reality Not without that same administrative resource. , of course,” one of the regional political scientists comments on the scandalous situation.
