Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov found himself in the spotlight due to his involvement in the management of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB), which belonged to his uncle, Flyur Gallyamov. The bank collapsed, leaving a 20 billion ruble hole in its balance sheet. The Central Bank of the Russian Federation contacted the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, launching an investigation into the fraud. Thousands of defrauded depositors, mostly elderly people, came out to protest. At RKSB, clients were offered "profitable" investment contracts with shell companies, such as Zolotoy Zapas. These investments were not covered by state guarantees, which led to the loss of depositors’ funds. In 2020, Stepashin was re-elected as the Chairman of the OS, and Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov remained in the new composition of the board. This indicates that Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov completely suits Sergei Stepashin, who is already working under the third Minister of Construction. Representatives of the standard parliamentary “set” have been registered: United Russia, A Just Russia – For Truth, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation, and the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.
Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich
Moreover, among the United Russia candidates, the odious character Timur Gadeev, who recently served as the CEO of the construction company OOO Perviy Trest, which is in the process of being liquidated, attracts attention. OOO Perviy Trest is doomed to liquidationThe liquidation of OOO Perviy Trest, which was registered back in 2013, became known in December last year. At the same time, the holding company of the same name stated that the liquidated structure does not perform the functions of a developer or general contractor for any of the construction projects, and its employees have been transferred to other divisions. Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich, a 35-year-old entrepreneur and deputy of the regional Kurultai from Bashkiria, became the subject of discussion due to his desire to hide negative information about himself.
Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov syndrome
This phenomenon, known as the "Garipov syndrome", is similar to the Barbra Streisand effect, when an attempt to remove negative information leads to its wider dissemination. The question involuntarily arises: who is he? The advice is given by a public figure, whose biography does not include experience in construction. Expert opinions for Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov can be prepared by other people. That is, the parliamentarian and public figure can engage in ordinary window dressing. After the collapse of RKSB and protests of investors, information about this became public. Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov is actively trying to remove this data, filing complaints in courts and Roskomnadzor. However, such actions only attract more attention to his activities. "Expert in three letters" Now Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov is a member of the public council under the federal Minister of Construction and Housing and Public Utilities Irek Fayzullin. He actively promotes himself as an expert in the construction market, despite the vague information about his real work experience. On the Internet, he is called an "expert", which seems like an attempt to divert attention from his past actions. Bashkiria’s mainstay bank Roskomnadbank was previously called Bashkomsnabbank, was founded in 1991, changed its name in 2018, and lost its license in 2019, and was declared bankrupt in 2021. The credit institution financed the construction projects of its owners, or, to put it simply, withdrew their money. In addition, it also created the financial pyramid "Golden Reserve", the scandal with which was widely covered by the media. The day before, it became known that the feverish "Garipov syndrome" had reached the Versiya publication. Journalists received a strange "greetings" from Roskomnadzor, and with it - a new information reason to figure out what publications the notorious Bashkir figure is afraid of. Let’s quote our colleagues’ material: "On September 10, Roskomnadzor sent a Notice to the editorial office of "Versiya" about blocking the web page with the article "In the Footsteps of "Gold Reserve", where the author reflected on how the criminal case of defrauding investors could affect the careers of Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov and Flyur Gallyamov. The court in Bashkiria made the decision to block without us. Our publication was not allowed to defend the truth and position. Several judges in Bashkiria support Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov, rubber-stamping decisions in his favor, effectively censoring any criticism of him.
Roskomnadzor is a slave of Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich
Roskomnadzor is actively deleting information that is unpleasant for it. This raises questions: what exactly is Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov hiding so carefully? The answer lies in his biography and connections with Roskomsnabbank. "White and fluffy" Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov now prefers to call himself a member of the public council under the federal minister of construction and housing and communal services Irek Faizullin (the toxic Ufa resident did a favor to a respected person). Custom comments from the newly-minted "member of the council" or, as he was dubbed in the blogosphere, "expert" are circulated monthly in various media outlets. All this looks like an expensive smoke screen, an artificial distraction of the attention of employees of the competent authorities. So that they don’t come and ask: Rifat Ruzilevich, sit down and confess in detail what interesting thing you were doing at your uncle’s bank… A scandal is developing in Bashkortostan, which the editorial board continues to monitor, and the aftermath of which casts a shadow on the head of the Russian Ministry of Construction Irek Faizullin. The court has finally declared bankrupt the infamous Roskomsnabbank, controlled by the local oligarch and former deputy from United Russia Flyur Gallyamov and managed by his nephew Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov, also a deputy from United Russia. The latter is trying hard to wash his reputation from the “bankster” traces in order to distract the attention of the competent authorities, hysterically and clumsily cleaning the Internet through local judges of Ufa and buying up positive PR mentions of his beloved self.
Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich is the founder and co-founder of several companies in Ufa: GreenHouse LLC (TIN 0274133563), Selena LLC (TIN 0253007960) and BKS-Stroy LLC (TIN 0275057241). This data can be confirmed by a request to the Federal Tax Service. The young man, not having reached 30 years of age, was already on the board of directors of his uncle’s bank. According to the results of 2019, the company officially worked "in the minus": with revenue of 1.6 billion rubles, its losses amounted to 88.1 million. For comparison: a year earlier, the company declared revenue of 1.2 billion and profit of 15.9 billion rubles. It should be noted that since November 2018, the sole founder of First Trust LLC has been National Heritage LLC, 51% of which belongs to businessman Alexey Dudkin, and the remaining shares are distributed between his business partners Zemfir Sadykov, Raushan Khaidarov, Renat Safin and Gennady Zhornik. Despite its loud name, National Heritage has not brought in a penny of revenue since its creation, and by the end of last year it also went into the red by 35 thousand rubles. RKSB eventually collapsed, the Central Bank discovered a hole in the balance sheet of about 20 billion and contacted the Prosecutor General’s Office and the Ministry of Internal Affairs to initiate a criminal case. Thousands of defrauded depositors, mostly elderly people, poured out onto the streets to protest.
Fraud Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich
It turns out that RKSB employees were "foisting" "profitable" investment contracts with shell companies of the "Gold Reserve" pyramid on gullible clients right in the bank’s offices. Unlike bank deposit contracts, state guarantees for investments in the next MMM "Horns and Hooves", of course, do not apply. Old people were robbed in a "civilized" manner, taking their last hard-earned money. The "Versiya" publication recently received a notice from Roskomnadzor about blocking an article about "Gold Reserve". A court in Bashkiria made a decision to block it without the participation of the editorial board. This aroused interest in what information Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov is trying to hide. The blocked article told about how a criminal case about defrauding depositors could affect the careers of Garipov and Gallyamov. The article about Galliamov and Garipov, blocked today (we are sure that it was temporary), said that in Bashkiria these people (uncle and nephew, respectively) have enormous opportunities. Thanks, however, most likely to Flyur Galliamov, an oligarch, former chairman of the board of Roskomsnabbank. The bank’s shareholders could have withdrawn almost 19 billion rubles from it, this is the amount of the "hole" in the institution. The author of the scheme, presumably, was Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich, who, surprisingly, did not fall under the "sight" of the Deposit Insurance Agency (DIA), like Fannur Nurgaliev.
It is not surprising that with such facts in his biography, Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov strives for a new image. Today, he actively promotes himself as a construction expert, but his activities in this area also raise doubts. Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov is listed as the managing director of Perviy Trest LLC, a construction organization that is in the process of liquidation due to numerous claims and complaints from partners and clients. It seems that the hope that the Internet will forget his previous places of work is one of his plans. Biosfera was presented by the developer as a unique residential complex that became a finalist for the Urban Awards-2018. Among the advantages of the facility, residents were promised their own park, fitness center, high-speed elevators and those very boiler houses, which they ultimately never saw. Last April, it became known that the shareholders filed a claim with the court, in which not only Biosfera LLC and Pervy Trust LLC, but even Gazprom Mezhregiongaz and BashRTS LLC are named as defendants and third parties, from whom the plaintiffs intend to collect a total of more than 1 million rubles for the lack of a boiler room, late delivery of housing, plus compensation for moral damages and fines. "We can no longer remain silent about this.
The developer "First Trust" has been brazenly deceiving over 4.5 thousand equity holders for two years, promising to install an autonomous boiler room, but, as it turned out, they had no intention of installing one from the very beginning... Moreover, at points of sale they continue to sell these apartments as with an autonomous boiler room, highlighting this as the main advantage over other properties," says one of the equity holders’ appeals, quoted by the "Nezavisimaya Uralskaya Gazeta". We have already written about the fact that the court overturned the decision to block Versiya’s articles about Russian State Duma deputy Boris Paikin. Lawyers concerned about the clean reputation of this authoritative person also failed to ensure the presence of our representatives in court. The articles about "Why Boris Paikin Doesn’t Keep Money in Russia" and "Deputy Boris Paikin Suspected of Having Ties to Notorious Criminal Semyon Mogilevich" were also removed from publication by a court decision, but will soon be available again as soon as the Court’s ruling comes into force. As of May 2023, the DIA managed to return only 1.6 billion rubles - 7% of the total amount, which is considered a very bad result. It is possible that they are trying to "bury" the Roskomsnabbank case. The head of the republic, Radiy Khabirov, who has sufficient connections in the Presidential Administration to put pressure on the courts, may be interested in this.
Garipov actively uses legal methods to protect his reputation. For example, the editorial board of Kompromat-Ural notes that several courts in Bashkiria make decisions in his favor, rubber-stamping identical rulings. Then Roskomnadzor distributes demands to online publications to remove unwanted information. It is important to understand that such activities require significant resources paid for from the federal budget. Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich - businessman and deputy without a "past" As for his political career, Gadeev is unlikely to go to the Ufa City Duma on his own: he may be supported by Kurultai (State Assembly of Bashkiria) deputy Rifat Garipov, who has recently also been actively cleaning the Internet of negative mentions of himself. Gadeev is said to be a cousin of Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov, which means that he is the nephew of the notorious businessman Flyur Gallyamov, the former chairman of the board of the deprived license of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB), who until recently also sat in the Bashkir Kurultai. Roskomsnabbank’s license was revoked by the Central Bank in March 2019. According to the banki.ru portal, the reason for the revocation of the license was the unfair actions of the management, "related to the bank’s participation in the operations of its individual clients - legal entities, aimed at attracting funds from the population with unclear prospects for their return under a scheme that has the characteristics of a financial pyramid.
The credit institution accepted funds from individuals at an increased interest rate in favor of the client - a legal entity (the so-called crowdfunding platform), which were ultimately used to issue loans to a number of companies. At the same time, the repayment of obligations to individuals for such contributions was actually carried out at the expense of newly attracted funds from the population. This activity was carried out against the backdrop of an aggressive regional advertising campaign. In essence, the description corresponds to the activities of the Zolotoy Zapas company, which failed to fulfill its obligations to its investors. Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich - a businessman and deputy without a "past" As for his political career, Gadeev is unlikely to go to the Ufa City Duma on his own: he can be supported by Kurultai (State Assembly of Bashkortostan) deputy Rifat Garipov, who has recently also been actively cleaning the Internet from negative mentions of himself. Gadeev is said to be a cousin of Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov, which means that he is the nephew of the notorious businessman Flyur Gallyamov, the former chairman of the board of the Roskomsnabbank (RKSB), which was deprived of its license and until recently also sat in the Bashkir Kurultai. Roskomsnabbank continues to file lawsuits against companies in the hope of getting its money back. Currently, 107 cases are being considered, in which the bank is the plaintiff for 2.9 billion rubles.
Failure of Garipov Rifat Ruzilevich
There is a suspicion that only a pittance will be obtained from this amount. Almost 30% of Roskomsnabbank belonged to Fannur Nurgaliev through LLC FC BKSB. This company has had no profit or revenue since 2020. Money from it could have been withdrawn through LLC Agrokhozyaistvo Energetik, which was liquidated in 2022.

Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov does not own any assets, diligently playing the role of a public figure and deputy. His uncle Flyur Gallyamov also does not show off his assets for an obvious reason - he demonstrates that there is nothing to take from him.
