What charitable foundation is headed by Khamitov's wife. I'm all so sudden, contradictory all .... Wife of the President of Bashkiria Gulshat Khamitova: About children, travels and hobbies

The head of the Republic of Bashkiria, Rustem Khamitov, is a rather interesting personality. This is evidenced at least by the fact that the federal media speak and write about him almost as much as the regional ones. Why 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, Honored Engineer of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Mother, Raisa Siniyatulovna, worked as a mathematics teacher. She was always next to her husband, so at the very beginning of her family life she followed him to the 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 a younger brother, Rashid). After 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 in Ufa. He studied well, in the certificate there was only one four - in English.

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

The dream to follow in his father's footsteps and become an engineer led him to the country's largest engineering university.

In 1971 he went to Moscow. Despite his mother's persuasion, his father did not go with him, deciding that his son was already old enough and independent. The young man from the first time entered the Moscow State Technical University. N.E. Bauman. But studying was no longer as easy as at school. Basically, the young man received threes and fours. In 1977, he graduated from the university with a degree in aircraft engines.

From assistant foreman to head of the scientific department

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

In 1978 he went to work in and "promoted" 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.

Road to politics

Khamitov's political career began with his election as a People's Deputy of the Supreme Soviet of the Bashkir ASSR in 1990. Three years later, he was appointed director of the Institute of Applied Ecology and Nature 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 Environmental Protection of Bashkortostan, after which he was appointed Minister for 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 interim president of the republic, and subsequently signed a decree recognizing him as president. Rustem Khamitov twice combined this position with the post of Prime Minister.
In September 2014, he was re-elected for a second term.

Nationality and religion

By nationality, Rustem Khamitov is a Bashkir. He considers the Bashkir language to be his native language, but he also speaks Russian perfectly. He is also fluent in English.

Rustem Zakirovich professes Islam. During his first trip to Saudi Arabia as president of Bashkortostan in 2011, Khamitov made the Umrah, the small hajj to Mecca.

Personal life

Khamitov's family is small: wife, two children and grandchildren. With his wife, Gulshat Gafurovna, he was familiar from childhood. And they got married almost immediately after Rustem Zakirovich returned from Baumanka. The couple have been together for over 35 years. Gulshat Gafurovna is a doctor of functional diagnostics by profession. Now she devotes all her time to the Markhamat Charitable Foundation, of which she is the president.

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

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

Photos of Rustem Khamitov with his family rarely become public.

All Khamitov's relatives are ordinary 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 requests of his and his wife.

Let's see if his earnings testify to 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 income of the spouse for the same period is 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 sq. m., and the wife has an apartment of 120.5 sq. m.

The couple also has a service apartment with an area of 79.9 sq. m and cottage - 444 sq. m.

Something to say thank you for

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

GDP almost doubled between 2010 and 2014, outperforming the Russian average;
the inflow of investments into the region has noticeably increased;
the international rating of the republic changed from stable to positive;
The National Procurement Transparency Rating moved Bashkortostan from 34th to 2nd place in terms of Guaranteed Transparency.

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

accusations

Reports often appear in the regional and federal media about the illegal actions of the head of Bashkiria. Here are some of them:

In 2013, Sergei Mironov, the leader of A Just Russia, accused him of falsifying the results of the parliamentary elections. As a result, they almost accepted the resignation of Rustem Khamitov. This would be the first case of removal from office of the head of the republic.
A number of public figures of Bashkiria, led by Azamat Galin, accused Khamitov of causing damage to the regional budget in the amount of 68 billion rubles as a result of the approval of the deal to merge the assets of Soda and Caustic.
All the same persons charged Rustem Zakirovich with causing harm to the environment and destroying forests due to a construction permit granted by Kronospan-Bashkortostan LLC.
Some experts believe that with the coming to power of Rustem Khamitov, the level of corruption in the region has increased dramatically. It is not possible to quantify this level, but it is possible to fix the growth of public debt. During the first term of Khamitov, it grew by more than 60%.
Rustem Zakirovich was also accused of illegal allocation of funds for the celebration of the anniversary of the Supreme Court of the Republic, equating this with bribing the judiciary.

Resignation

In connection with numerous accusations against the head of Bashkiria, the most discussed topic in the region was the question of whether Rustem Zakirovich Khamitov would resign in 2017.

Almost everyone who starts talking about the possible resignation of the head of Bashkiria comes to the conclusion that this will not happen, even despite the "personnel cleansing" in the republic.

Federal experts assessing the stability of the work of the heads of regions attributed Khamitov to 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 fired;
yellow, which includes the heads of regions, whose chances of remaining in their place are estimated as 50/50.

The following facts play into the hands of Khamitov:

Good connection with the federal center.
Availability of plans for the future of the region (in 2019, Bashkortostan turns 100 years old. Many projects are timed to coincide with this event, including the construction of several large facilities).
Attractiveness of the republic for business (large businessmen are in no hurry to "turn off their business" and move to the capital or St. Petersburg, as in neighboring regions).
Own style of behavior and strict adherence to it.
The ability to manage (experts do not call him a clear leader, but they do not note any shortcomings in the management style).

The following arguments work in favor of resignation:

Khamitov has conflicts with some federal politicians and big businessmen.
Dissatisfaction with the work of the head of the region is expressed by both ordinary residents and the elite of Bashkortostan.
A little more than a year is left until the next elections (they will be held 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. So far, it remains to be hoped that Bashkiria will prosper and develop regardless of who comes to power.

In the official biography of Rustem Khamitov, who has been acting president of Bashkiria since Thursday, the village of Drachenino, Leninsk-Kuznetsky district, Kemerovo region, is listed as the birthplace. But few people know that Bashkiria is still a small homeland for him, namely the village of Shtandy in the Baltachevsky district of the republic. He grew up there, and now his mother, 77-year-old Raisa Siniyatulovna Khamitova, lives here. She used to be a high school math teacher, but is now in a well-deserved retirement. In the summer she spends time in the village, in the winter she returns to the Ufa apartment.

We met at her house in the country, she was resting in the shade of two thirty-year-old willows. Here there is shade, coolness and a little cat Murka runs around, understanding the requests of the hostess both in Russian and in Bashkir.

Raisa-apa, to put it in the slang of youth, is a very advanced pensioner - she reads the news and watches the weather on the Internet, and communicates with her children and grandchildren via Skype (video communication via the Internet - Approx. ed.). There is no other way - cell phones in the village simply do not work.

- When did you find out that your son is applying for such a responsible post?

I have felt this for a long time. He himself did not say anything, but I was sure that his life was going to change. He last visited in May. He didn’t say anything about his work, but I felt everything. Probably, at that time there were already these conversations. Then he somehow called and said, they say, there will probably be changes. But I didn't give much thought to it. And I saw the news, I was even scared for my son. Still, it is a hard and responsible job.

- Is your son coming to visit you?

He comes very often, almost every month. He will come, put on an old tights, an old shirt, our Bashkir galoshes, and so he walks. Now, probably, he won’t be able to walk like that ... He loves this village very, very much, our life, our rural way of life. He loves raspberries very much, as soon as he arrives he cleans them. I recently told him, they say, come, the raspberries are ripe, and he laughs. “Probably I won’t be able to come and eat it today.”

- You yourself called your son after the announcement of his acting. President?

No, I can't call him. To be honest, I don't know which phone number. And I just don’t want to bother him, now he has so many troublesome things. He usually calls himself in the evening, and today, probably, we will also talk (our conversation took place on Friday - Approx. ed.). And on Thursday evening, when everything became known (the resignation of Murtaza Rakhimov - Ed.), he called himself, said that there was a call from the Kremlin, they said to start work immediately.

- That is, he did not arrive on Thursday?

No, he's been here for a long time.

Brother i. about. The President works as a driver

In 1952, Rustem Zakievich's father, Zaki Salimovich, graduated from a mining institute and was sent to a mine in the Kemerovo region. He worked there for three months, after which he went to raise virgin soil, and Raisa Siniyatulovna followed him. The Khamitov family lived in a small village for five years and replenished with two children at once - Rustem and Rashit.

Then the family returned to Bashkiria - to Baltachevo. There they lived for three years. Zaki Salimovich worked in the agricultural industry as a mechanic and engineer, and after graduate school he took up academic work.

The younger brother of Rustem Zakievich - Rashid lives in Ufa and works ... as a driver.

He dreamed about it since childhood. I ask him - "Rashid, who will you be?", And he - "Volgonist", - Raisa Siniyatulovna smiles. And he became one.

- Did the older brother help the younger one get a better paid position?

Mom keeps all student telegrams

- And who did Rustem Zakievich want to become as a child?

You know, he dreamed of entering the Oceanographic Institute. But when he finished ten classes, I categorically forbade him to do this. It's far away, it's to go to the Far East, to be in the ocean. It seemed to me that if a person is in the ocean, then he is subject to all sorts of dangers. And my father immediately said: "You will go to Baumanovskoye." Rustem entered, immediately passed everything well with fives, only physics with "four". When he left, I tell my father: “Well, go with him,” and he: “No, let him do it himself”

After each exam, student Khamitov sent telegrams to his mother: “I passed the thermal calculation. Rustem", "Chemistry - four", "I'll be at home after the fifth of August" ... Raisa Siniyatulovna still carefully keeps all of them in her suitcase.

Having received a diploma, Rustem Zakievich began working for UMPO - he worked in the workshop for two years. In the early nineties, in the team of Murtaza Rakhimov, he became a deputy, headed the commission on ecology. From that moment began his political career.

In general, our whole family was interested in ecology, and we have always loved Bashkiria.

- Did your son offer you to move to Moscow with him?

Yes, he did, of course. But I won't even leave this village. I would even live here in winter, but it's hard for me ... And Rustem loves this village like his own. Even though I wasn't born here. Somehow I arrived - I saw which way the children go to school - there was mud up to the knees. It impressed him so much. He then worked as a Federal inspector, he helped, the road was asphalted. Therefore, now all grandmothers and children say thank you to him. Now walking is good.

- What do you think, if your son becomes President, what kind of leader will he be?

I think good. He loves Bashkiria, he wants everything to be good here. After all, he knows the inner life here, and knows the local economy. He was very worried that a lot of things were leaving our rich republic. I think he will give everything to make it even better here.

- How does he behave with subordinates?

He is very demanding. And not only at work - he is demanding in the family, and with relatives and even to me. My second daughter-in-law said a long time ago: “Rustem, you are the president in our family ...”. No wonder he is a lion according to the horoscope.

Rustem Khamitov found a wife in childhood

Gulshat Rustem Zakievich has known his future wife literally from birth - their fathers have been great friends since school. Now they are raising two children - Kamil and Nuria. They are already adults - this year they graduated from a university in Moscow, they began to work themselves.

Scientific career of Rustem Khamitov

In 1978, Khamitov decided that he wanted to continue his scientific activities in his specialty, after which he got a job as an engineer at the Ufa Aviation Institute, and was soon promoted to junior and then senior researcher.

Over time, the successes of Khamitov were appreciated by the authorities - in 1986 he was appointed head of the laboratory for the ground use of aircraft engines.

Fate favored Khamitov further - in 1988, Rustem Zakievich became the head of the research and production department of the Eastern Branch of the All-Union Research Institute, which was engaged in the construction of main pipelines. Later, he defended his Ph.D., and years later his doctoral dissertation (his specialty is automated control systems).

In 1999, his scientific work "Building a system of strategic management of the security of the population of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation: the experience of the Republic of Bashkortostan" was published.

Rustem Khamitov - politician

The political career of Rustem Khamitov began in the late 80s, during the Perestroika period. A young man with an active life position, constantly giving out new ideas, was noticed "at the top", and in 1990 he was elected to the post of People's Deputy of the Supreme Council of the Bashkir ASSR.

First of all, Khamitov was concerned about the problems of rational and efficient use of natural resources, so he was soon appointed chairman of the Commission on Ecological Problems.

In 1993, Khamitov resigned as a deputy and for a year served as director of the Bashkortostan Institute of Applied Ecology and Nature Management.

In 1994, Khamitov became the regional Minister of the Environment. Since 1996, he began to oversee the fight against emergencies. Three years later he was invited to the federal Ministry of Emergency Situations, and in 2000 he was offered the position of a federal inspector in the office of the presidential envoy in the Volga Federal District, Sergei Kiriyenko. Two years later, he was promoted to acting. deputy plenipotentiary, supervised issues of interethnic and interfaith relations at the regional level, coordinated the activities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

His appointment coincided with the accident at the Sayano-Shushenskaya hydroelectric power station (August 17, 2009), so Rustem Zakievich, under the leadership of Sergei Shoigu, personally participated in the hard work to eliminate the consequences of the accident for a month.

Rustem Khamitov as head of Bashkortostan

In July 2010, the ex-President of the Republic of Bashkortostan Murtaza Rakhimov resigned. President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev has appointed Khamitov Acting President of Bashkortostan. The State Assembly of Bashkiria supported Khamitov's candidacy, after which, on July 15, 2010, he officially assumed his new position.

In the elections to the State Duma of the 6th convocation, he headed the regional list of candidates from United Russia, and although more than 70% of the voters of Bashkortostan voted for the party, Khamitov refused the mandate, retaining the post of head of the republic.

Khamitov actively traveled around Bashkortostan, being interested in the affairs of various industries. He tried to popularize sports among young people, as he himself loves football, is a fan of the Ufa club and, if possible, communicates with the players.

The head of Bashkortostan attracted investments from other regions of Russia, in particular, in May 2016 he met with the general director of the Chelyabinsk holding "Sigma" Alexander Makhrov. They discussed the possibility of expanding the plant for the production of sunflower oil in Chishma and building new similar enterprises.

Rustem Khamitov today

On October 11, 2018, Rustem Khamitov resigned, as he himself stated, due to his advanced age (64 years). However, his departure was preceded by the resignations of a number of governors with the wording "of their own free will", including Natalya Zhdanova, Oleg Korolev, Alexander Mikhailov and others. Political experts attributed this to United Russia's collapsed ratings throughout the country and the victory of opposition candidates in a number of regions. Mayor of Krasnogorsk appointed by Putin as interim head of Bashkiria

Head of Bashkiria Rustem Khamitov collects 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 be Aigul Gareeva, who heads the Markhamat Charitable Foundation and is Khamitov's niece. The day before, Aigul Gareeva was registered as a participant in the primaries of United Russia in the Belsky constituency No. 45, located in the Karmaskala and Davlekanovsky districts of Bashkiria - these are industrial and agricultural territories 50 km from Ufa. Apparently, the competition in the regional center confused the former housewife - Gareeva had previously applied for the Belorechensky polling station No. 5 in Ufa, but withdrew her candidacy without explanation. Her place on the list was taken by Khamitov himself. Today, political scientists say that the chief republican official "began to strengthen the family contract," and following the housewife, they expect new attempts by representatives of the Khamitov family clan to get "worthy seats" in the bodies of the republican state power.

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

"Murtaza Gubaidullovich has a son Ural Rakhimov, against whom a criminal case has been opened in Russia. And Rustem Zakievich’s wife “manages” many issues, and now a new protégé has appeared - a niece," a source in the political elite of Ufa comments on the situation.

The Khamitov couple

Regional political scientists are sure that Gareeva will not be able to win without an administrative resource: voters do not know her, she took up public work quite recently - she headed the same Charity Fund "Markhamat", 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 controls the region.

Charitable Foundation "Markhamat" at the level of the 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 a lot of questions about the fund, whose name goes back to the Arabic word for "mercy".

“There may be an interest in probable money laundering: for example, he did not reflect on his accounts a profit of about 3 million rubles from the organization (but state employees could be forced to buy tickets worth from 2 to 8 thousand rubles). lotteries of Ural Lotto LLC, the money from whose activities were allegedly transferred by 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 Business disappeared, "- shares his personal impression of the scandal, the representative of Edra in the regional parliament.

Khamitova is also suspected of having common business interests with the fugitive ex-head of RusHydro Evgeny Dodom, accused of embezzlement of 73 million rubles. Rustem Khamitov also comes from RusHydro, so the suspicions may turn out to be groundless.

Recall that charity, unlike lotteries, is exempt from taxes. In addition, thanks to the family ties of the fund's managers and the head of the Republic of Belarus, the sponsors of the projects of the Charitable Foundation "Markhamat" actually have access to state resources, they may well "solve issues" directly. “It is clearly known in the region that most personnel decisions, especially in the field of social policy and healthcare, are made in tandem with the participation of Gulshat Khamitova,” says a source close to the Belarusian government.

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

However, the question still remains relevant: will the ex-housewife have enough experience to work as a deputy of the Kurultai. “Certainly, charitable projects, meetings for women's rights and other public events are work worthy of respect and recognition. Is it worth giving up this work for the sake of a deputy chair?”, the parliament itself asks. – But if Rustem Khamitov is up to something – and he obviously was up to having his own people in Kurultai – then he will definitely do it. He has family ties, budgets, and administrative resources at his disposal."

So, probably, Khamitov's positions in Bashkortostan and in the State Assembly of the Republic of Belarus in particular will be strengthened at the expense of one more relative.

“Remember the sensational scandal with the director of the Bakhetle grocery chain from Kazan? She said that homemade cakes interfere with her business and called on the head of Tatarstan to fight craftswomen who bake desserts for friends for a small fee. There was no Russia, - in the wake of the complaint, the bailiffs began to come to housewives and demand declarations of income from them. But what is there in Tatarstan, in Bashkiria, for example, the saying about the cook who runs 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.

Monitors the development of conflicts of interest

The family of the head of Bashkiria "pockets" 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 former Deputy Prime Minister of Bashkiria, Fidus Yamaltdinov, heads the firm. He has long been a figure close to the head of the republic, Rustem Khamitov.

Observers say that after the privatization of Medtekhnika, Gulshat Khamitova, the first businesswoman in the region, will be controlled by the wife of the head of the republic. Thus, the business clan of the Khamitovs will be multiplied by one more segment…

To your beloved?

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

Having headed the Republic of Bashkortostan, Khamitov immediately took care of the social security of himself and his family. On December 26, 2014, the members of the Kurultai (parliament) quickly adopted the law “On the Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan”, which establishes powers and guarantees for the first person in the region before and after his resignation, as well as for his family members. Interestingly, in the new law, the 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 communication. The wife of Mr. Khamitov also got the opportunity at public expense to accompany her husband to official ceremonies and receptions.

The head of the republic, for the duration of his work and after his resignation, is provided with a financial allowance, a state dacha, a state apartment, sanatorium treatment, security, as well as the right to free travel around 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 his salary and a staff of budget-paid assistants. 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 multi-million sums into the structure in 2012-2014 - these are Ural Lotto LLC and Promtransbank. Here is an excerpt from the Fund'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 expenses of the Child Development Center is made from targeted deductions from the Lotto 6 out of 40 and Joker lottery in accordance with the agreements with Ural Lotto LLC.

Insatiable fund?

According to available documents, millions of so-called “play money” passed through the Markhamat fund every year, received from the most massive and promoted through the media in Bashkiria, the lottery “Lotto 6 out of 40 and Joker”. To make the volumes clear, I’ll 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 play money (mainly played and lost by elderly people, poor families, teenagers) went to the Markhamat fund, 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 know, 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 initiated a criminal case against unidentified officials of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Republic of Bashkortostan in connection with causing damage to the state in the amount of 9.8 million rubles. As follows from the materials of the investigation, officials of the Ministry 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 safekeeping to PromTransBank LLC. Previously, the Fund placed its money in OJSC "Akibank" and OJSC "Bashkomsnabbank", where the interest was much higher than that of "PromTransBank".

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

As part of the investigation of the criminal case, searches were carried out in the office and in the apartment of Deputy Prime Minister of the Republic Yevgeny Mavrin (minister), as well as in the apartment of the ex-Minister of Economic Development of the Republic of Belarus Alexander Maryin. Recall that Maryin left the post of minister in November 2013, becoming ... 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 all regulatory documents, receives the accounts of a state structure in excess of half a billion rubles for management. 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 case of Promtransbank and asked how the transfer of accounts of the state structure was connected with the sponsorship of her charitable foundation. But, alas, the investigators somehow did not work out with the interrogation. It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which opened the case in 2014, was in the Republic of Bashkortostan, and Khamitova's husband is the head of the 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 scope of activity raise very big questions. The full namesake of Khamitov's wife owned a blocking stake in Ayvest (25%).

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

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

Coincidentally, 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 its “Italian” colleagues. Mini hydropower plants were an ideal area for non-transparent work - equipment was imported from abroad, the program could be co-financed, according to experts, according to the most non-transparent schemes, and most importantly, from regional or even municipal budgets.

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

In accordance with the agreement, the government of Bashkiria undertook 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 assistance of the parties in attracting industrial orders to Bashkortostan on a market basis in order to develop the production and, as a result, the energy potential of the republic and create new jobs in the region.

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

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

Whether Khamitov's wife actually had such a company, the investigation will show. But it is obvious that the arrest of Dod will not pass without a trace for the head of Bashkiria!
