Radiy Khabirov: biography, personal life, career

Recently, the media reported that the deputy head of the presidential office, in charge of domestic policy, Radiy Faritovich Khabirov, announced his resignation. According to some reports, it is planned to transfer to the executive authorities.

In "Media Corps" they suggested that the next job could be the legal department headed by the former Bashkir prosecutor Alexander Konovalov.

Career steps

Some political observers noted that each stage of Khabirov corresponds to a dramatic event in the political history of Bashkortostan.

The post of the head of administration of the Bashkir "White House" Radiy Faritovich Khabirov took in the period when the republic was shaken by a deep political crisis. Under the regime of M. Rakhimov, serious strikes were struck by political opponents Sergei Veremeenko and Ralif Safin. During the 2003 election race, there were many different accusations against the incumbent president.

Real Affairs Officer

In 2005 Radiy Khabirov went out to give explanations to a crowd of protesters who gathered in the square near the House of the Republic to make demands for the abolition of monetization of benefits and discontent with the current political regime.

At the same time, Khabirov managed to prevent the parliamentary putsch, which the supporters of the Rakhimov Urals tried to implement. They did not manage to seize power in the republican state assembly.

Later R. Khabirov reflected several attempts on the part of BashTEK's top managers to control the actions of the Ufa city council, depriving it of the influence of the senior Rakhimov.

Radiy Khabirov, President's Administration

In mid-2008, President Rakhimov agreed to transfer Khabirov to the staff of the Russian President's Administration. This circumstance served as an excuse for intensifying the persecution of him by the security forces, which were under the control of regional authorities.

A signal to discredit Khabirov was given by the article "Successor of Murtaza", which was published by "Gazeta.Ru" on July 16, 2008, which was very negative and painfully received by the environment of the Bashkir president.

To break the new appointment to the office of the Russian president (an invitation was made by Vladislav Surkov) certain opposition forces took a number of steps. In particular, they contributed to the direction of the local control and accounting chamber and security forces to search for compromising information about Khabirov.

Attempts to discredit an official

He was charged with not paying the tax for the use of the garden plot.

The local unit of the party "United Russia" was an attempt to deprive him of his party membership card, while the occasion was clearly far-fetched.

A corresponding discrediting campaign was launched in local media. The most striking article of a negative nature was published in the "Ufimskie Vedomosti". Later, accusations of libel were brought against this publication, which were recognized in the court session. As a result, the "Ufimskiye Vedomosti" had to publish a refutation.

Opinion of Khabirov

Radiy Khabirov, whose biography is notable for such extreme events, commented on 22.07.2008 in one of the interviews this roll on the part of the Bashkir authorities as follows.

In his opinion, this was a purely political order, but "the chances of the supporters of Rakhimov Ural for holding the presidential seat in Bashkortostan are zero."

From his words, the family gave him a lot of support in difficult times. Radiy Khabirov is married, he has two daughters.

The position of Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration for Internal Affairs Khabirov took in January 2009.

Its functions included overseeing the interaction of the presidential apparatus with representatives of parliamentary factions and various parties.

Biographical information

Radiy Khabirov, whose biography is inextricably linked with Bashkiria, was born on March 20, 1964 in the Ishimbay district of this republic. His small homeland is the village of Sayranovo.

After graduating from high school in 1981, he settled himself as a pupil of a milling machine at the Ishimbai Transport Engineering Plant.

In 1982 he was called up for military service in the Armed Forces of the USSR.
After demobilization in 1984, he continued his education at the Bashkir State University at the Faculty of Law.

After graduation, he remained at the department of state law as an assistant.

From 1992 to 1994 he was in Turkey, where he was a graduate student at the University of Bilkent in Ankara.

From 1994 to 1998 he worked as a senior teacher at the Law Faculty of BashSU.

In the period from 1998 to 2002 he defended his thesis, became an assistant professor and received the post of deputy dean of the law faculty of the Bashkir State University.
In 2002, he first served as director, and then headed the Institute of Law at the same university.

In September 2003 Radiy Khabirov was invited to the post of head of the Administration of the Bashkir President.

From August 27, 2008 to December 2008, he was appointed to a director position in the Department of Cooperation with the Russian Federal Assembly, which is structurally part of the Russian President's Office.

From January 2009 until September 19, 2016, the post of deputy head in the Office of the President of Russia, whose tasks included domestic politics, was occupied by Radiy Khabirov. His resignation occurred with the motivation "own desire." This, of course, caused a lot of questions. Judgments on this issue sounded very different.

Publications in the media

Any public figure has to be constantly under the sights of the media. Radium Khabirov, whose personal life was always of interest to correspondents, did not escape this fate either.

During his work in the Kremlin, the press reported on his funding of the Bashkir cell of "Fair Russia". He is considered one of the founders of the Ufa branch of this party, headed by his classmate Shagimuratov.

Khabirov is also credited with funding the Ufa branch of the "Right Cause" and some provocative websites.

From the media, information was received that Khabirov was given instructions on the need to allocate living space to some people, while providing for the possibility of receiving state subsidies.

Khabirov approved the prices for commercial real estate significantly below market rates.

Despite the opinion expressed in the press by the journalist Elina Bilevskaya that at the end of the first decade of this century Radiy Khabirov could change Murtaza Rakhimov, from him any statements of this kind never sounded. He chose to serve the country instead of realizing personal ambitions and starting political intrigues.

This approach allowed him to remain in his post, even when his patron V. Surkov left the presidential administration.

Article by Ivan Pereverzev

In 2008, there was a sensational article by Ivan Pereverzev, where Khabirov was alleged to have traded some posts. It was about the posts of city and district heads, a magistrate, a notary.

The author of the publication suggested that the reason for the dismissal of the head of his administration by the president of Bashkortostan was information about the machinations of this high-ranking official in selling housing and commercial real estate. In addition, when completing the declaration, he allegedly concealed some of his property.

The article said that the mechanism of trade posts was so sharp that the republican leadership did not suspect anything, since there were no direct calls from Khabirov on the part of Khabirov.

He managed to adjust so that the intractable candidates lost all chances for a successful conclusion of the case. For example, on the eve of registration, it was found that the documentation was "lost." As soon as the registration was finished, the documents were found.

Assumptions of correspondent

The author of the article suggested that as the main argument pushing for cooperation with Khabirov, it was the advertising of "some persons entering the presidential administration of Russia".

Such "support" allowed not to be afraid of negative reaction from higher authorities.

The unspoken pricelist for obtaining posts "with the help of Khabirov," according to Pereverzev, was the following.

The position of the deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation cost up to thirty million rubles, the deputy to the local parliament - the Kurultai of Bashkortostan - about six million, the head of the presidential administration department - 5 million, and the specialist in it - one and a half million.

Often, such a "purchase" was imposed, and in case of disagreement of the candidate, he could forget about his career.

It should be noted that all allegations made in the press about the official did not find any confirmation and he continued to work in the civil service.
