About different aspects of the life of Umar Alievich Dzhabrailov. Umar Dzhabrailov will still shoot Umar Dzhabrailov now
10/25/2002, "Like a squirrel in a wheel"
Mamlakat Nakhangova in Chechen
During the power of the CPSU, personnel officers (all personnel officers from the personnel departments of enterprises to the KGB, where, ultimately, the most important personnel decisions were made) spent a lot of time compiling and writing all kinds of questionnaires, under a magnifying glass figuring out all the little things in the life of almost every person. There could be no "blank spots" in the biography. The personnel officers knew everything about everyone. Now this is no longer, everyone can come up with a legend, equip it with more or less plausible details and become a hero or a dissident of his choice.
Umar Dzhabrailov is no longer young and has found the times when personnel officers were in power. It may seem that not a single personnel officer in those days would have ever let a Chechen to a responsible position. Unreliable nationality. However, there were exceptions. In the Soviet Union, from the moment of its foundation, they liked to speculate about the equality of all the peoples of the great country, as well as the strong and disinterested friendship between them. To convince at least someone of this, it was necessary to present representatives of all the most colorful peoples of the then country, then everyone could point a finger at them and say, here he is, who achieved everything thanks to the Soviet Motherland and the Communist Party. Equal chances for everyone, just like Rockefeller is a shoe shiner in the United States. Do not think that such lucky ones were chosen from some nomenklatura or their faithful offspring. All-Union personnel service, i.e. The KGB preferred workers 'and peasants' biographies. Therefore, when the cotton grower Mamlakat Nakhangova, who got into the Soviet epic, was sitting in the arms of the father of all nations, her biography and the biographies of her parents and other relatives, supplied with appropriate resolutions and seals, had long been in the local branch of the KGB. The father of nations did not like liberties.
After the death of the leader of the peoples, his successors were imbued with the pernicious influence of the West and let go of the task of creating national cadres and national signs, not just completely on their own, but so they gave it to the hands of the local, very specific, national nomenclature. Nevertheless, such successful national cadres (the readers may forgive me, but I do not know a better term for this phenomenon) were still fabricated. Unreliable Chechens also had them. Let us recall, for example, General Dzhokhar Dudayev. The Soviet general is a Chechen, the commander of a long-range aviation division (strategic bombers), a member of the CPSU and its various party committees, a darling of fate, capable of opening the door to many bureaucratic offices with his foot. All the tales of Western radio voices about the expulsion and oppression of the Chechens seemed like idle fiction, one had only to look at the valiant mustachioed face. But there was also the most important dancer of the Union, Mahmud Esambaev, and Hero of the Soviet Union Ruslan Aushev (not a Chechen, but almost). It so happened that Umar Dzhabrailov was lucky, he managed to fit in the tail of Mamlakat Nakhangova.
Umar Alievich was born on June 28, 1958 in Grozny. His father in his youth was the secretary of the district committee of the Komsomol, however, thanks to the tortuous history of all Chechens in the Soviet Union, he did not advance far in party work. Umar was a smart guy, he studied well, was fond of mathematics and easily finished his eight-year school. Then his family made a seemingly strange decision - Umar went to Moscow, where he entered in 1973. at the Fur and Fur College. No matter how funny it is, it was easier for Umar to get a secondary technical education in Moscow than in Checheno-Ingushetia. Firstly, there was less competition, and secondly, then Chechens were hardly known in Moscow at that time and therefore they were treated more indifferently. At the same time, anyone who is in the slightest degree familiar with the then personnel policy perfectly understands that such a trip to Moscow could not be made without the sanction of someone.
To become a full-fledged national cadre, one had to serve in the army. Dzhabrailov ended up in 1977. in the elite troops of the Strategic Missile Forces and served quite calmly until 1979. in Zhitomir. Both education and love for the exact sciences helped Umar get into these troops. In the army, he joined the CPSU. It was then the easiest way to merge with guiding and directing. Dzhabrailov served brilliantly.
And here the fate of our hero makes a sharp zigzag. Umar Dzhabrailov entered MGIMO of the USSR Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the most prestigious specialty "International Economic Relations". The competition for the faculty of the same name with this specialty exceeded 20 people per seat. For example, so that the now well-known TV presenter Alexander Lyubimov (and he studied at MGIMO only a year younger than Dzhabrailov and, as their fellow practitioners say, Sasha and Umar at that time felt mutual sympathy for each other) entered this faculty , his father, a former resident of the KGB in Great Britain and Denmark, Mikhail Lyubimov, who then worked as the head of the department at the so-called Andropov Institute (which trained intelligence officers for the beloved Soviet Motherland) and who personally knew all the leadership of the Lubyanka, including the then head of the PSU (now it is called SVR) Vladimir Kryuchkov, was forced to use all his influence. Beloved son Sasha needed the protection of the mighty of the world. Umar Dzhabrailov entered without any visible help. The help was invisible. In order to receive it, the future businessman had to study at the preparatory department. Since he did not get one point on the exams (in fact, completely different points were counted there). As he himself says: "... I was lucky, my documents were accepted for the preparatory department ...". Usually, those who had work experience in their specialty were admitted to this preparatory department of MGIMO, not everyone was taken immediately after the army. Why was Umar Alievich so lucky?
Personnel Officer
Even then, the head of the Fifth Main Directorate of the KGB of the USSR, the Directorate for Combating Ideological Sabotage, drew attention to Dzhabrailov, Philip Denisovich Bobkov... The same Philip Bobkov, who soon became First Deputy Chairman of the KGB, and later under Yeltsin headed the Security Service of Most-Bank and a bunch of associations of former employees of the State Security Service. Such necessary help allowed the clever Chechen youth not only to overcome all sorts of introductory slingshots (for example, a characterization certified by the same KGB was required), but also to successfully graduate from the institute. By the way, since his studies Umar Dzhabrailov has been able to speak Russian not with a Chechen accent, but with a mild South Russian accent, which is very unusual for a Chechen. On languages, not only Russian, but also foreign ones, Dzhabrailov worked like a man possessed. It was obvious that he could make a national high-flying shot. After graduating from MGIMO in 1985, he received a free distribution. According to the version he himself replicated, he could not get a job due to the lack of a Moscow residence permit.
It should be noted that very many (if not all) KGB cadres had a hole in their biographies of one year in size, when the uninitiated in these subtleties could not understand what they were doing. Naturally, every KGB cadre needs time for special training. After a pause, Umar Dzhabrailov received a residence permit in Moscow and in 1986-88. worked as a laboratory assistant at the same department of MGIMO.
In the late 1980s, it became obvious that Gorbachev's perestroika was gradually developing into the abolition of socialism. And then the far-sighted leadership of the KGB began to implement the program of seizing the most important economic levers of the future "free" Russia. At the head of this program was put all the same Philip Denisovich Bobkov, who attracted a group of promising clients of the same Fifth State University to its implementation, got into this group and his Chechen protégé, who by that time began to turn sour, performing rather routine tasks for the next penetration to the “Moscow Chechen community” (this is how what we now call “the Chechen mafia” with masochistic pleasure). Among those people who were then trained to take the places of the new Russian oligarchs, first of all, the names of Vladimir Gusinsky, Vladimir Potanin, Alexander Lebedev and some others come to mind. It was to these people that the relevant special services (the KGB, in all their guises: FSK, FSB, etc., and less often the GRU) ensured the most favored nation treatment in the creation of their economic enterprises.
We know these names, they succeeded, however, without a doubt, there were also people who turned out to be losers, or, at least, those who did not fully realize such opportunities. Our hero failed to become an oligarch in the full sense of the word, such an oligarch as, for example, Vladimir Potanin. Umar Dzhabrailov did not have enough patience. He decided to make himself. His former superiors did not interfere. What for? Everyone who ever worked for them always returned. Sooner or later. Then it seemed to them, they did not know that the system that they had been building all their lives could fall apart or, at least, change beyond recognition.
Missed years
The official biography of Umar Dzhabrailov speaks rather sparingly of the early 90s. They write even less about where Umar Alievich got the notorious initial capital and by what dictates he turned out to be the representative of the Moscow State Property Agency in Radisson-Slavyanskaya. Dzhabrailov, as it were, jumped out of oblivion and appeared out of nowhere. This is usually the case for Russian business. Let's try, nevertheless, to restore the connection of times.
Umar Dzhabrailov earned his first big money trite. He earned them on "Chechen advice notes." For those who have forgotten, let me remind you that in the early 90s, the Soviet banking system, unadapted to the new conditions, began to malfunction. Non-cash money began to travel from one bank to another for weeks or even months. And this is within Moscow, and the transfer of money from one city to another has generally turned into flour. 1991 - 92 there were generally several banking crises, as a result of which money could not pass from bank to bank for 3 months. And then, so that the economy does not finally die, the Central Bank of the Russian Federation decided that money can be credited to the accounts of firms by the receiving bank upon presentation of a bank order - an advice note, drawn up and signed in accordance with the necessary requirements by the sending bank. It meant that in any case, the money would be debited from the sending bank when making an advice note. The state banks of that time (and all sorts of menateps and bridge banks were exotic at that time) were seemingly reliable.
In Chechnya, they did not think for a long time and they stole some of these forms of advice notes, and the signatures and seals were forged. And thus, for several months, taking advantage of the confusion, they received purely specific money for non-existent orders. This scam was called "Chechen advice notes". I must say that even then it was said that the advice notes were actually not Chechen ones, but Moscow ones. Since the state banks from which the cash was withdrawn were just Moscow ones. However, this, if I may say so, business was quickly brought under control by the Chechens, in particular, by Umar Dzhabrailov.
Of course, Umar Alievich now publicly denies such things. Back in 1997. in an interview with the newspaper "Argumenty i Fakty" (the interview was taken by a journalist with the characteristic surname Batuev), he said:
Aviso was created not by Chechens, but by those who were at the top of the banking system. I did not receive a penny from these advice notes, but on the contrary, I suffered. For the sold petroleum products, my company was driven into bills with non-existent money. And the company went bankrupt (or re-registered and renamed into "DANAKO"? Huh? - editor's note). I earned the money for the start-up capital quite legally and therefore today I am not hiding somewhere abroad and I am not sitting with my tail between my legs. I just took out loans from banks. Loans in the early 90s were fabulously profitable, because there was a landslide fall in the ruble and an increase in the value of the dollar. And he earned on the difference in the exchange rate.
I can’t believe that someone has "sold" payments without money to Umar Alievich. They returned them as dear ones, and why the companies go bankrupt can also be easily understood by asking the simplest questions. But did that company pay all taxes (albeit ridiculous, according to the same Dzhabrailov) and unfastened the suppliers for oil? But not only I have not forgotten how in the early 90s loans were taken from banks. Somehow it didn't work for free, no one. As for the specific recipients of the bags of money under the Chechen advice notes, you really cannot find them now. Why would anyone need extra witnesses? And Umar himself, of course, did not substitute himself.
However, here he lacked measure. It was not without reason that the first spat with a new friend, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences Boris Berezovsky, broke out just then. As eyewitnesses of that meeting remember, the not yet completely bald oligarch yelled at Dzhabrailov in a thin falsetto: “We gave you, Chechens, a cash cow, and you killed it!”. Boris Abramovich meant that the operation was carried out too roughly, attracted too much attention and did not bring much greater profits. Therefore, the new friends parted for a long time.
Dancer time

Makhmud Esambaev - dancer |
Nevertheless, Umar Alievich had a lot of money. And he wanted to make them even more. Former patron Philip Bobkov, who is in full swing developing the vein of Vladimir Gusinsky and is now tied too close relations with one of the highest ranks of the Israeli military intelligence "Aman" Yakov Nimrodi (who could not stand any Chechens), got off with smiles and meaningless hints. He had no time for Umar. And then Umar Dzhabrailov came to the only Moscow Chechen who was not ordered to enter the upper ranks of the Moscow Government.
Makhmud Esambaev is a legend of Soviet art since the 60s of the last century. And the Moscow upstarts - parvenu, the retinue of the new Moscow mayor Luzhkov, even then tried to imitate in everything the gilded - pompous style of the collapsed state. It seemed to them that this was the only way real empires looked, where they were destined to become patricians. And a fragment of a real empire - the old dancer Makhmud Esambaev - got an entrance to all the new bosses from Tverskaya. They still love the same pseudo-imperial style - the newly built Cathedral of Christ the Savior, the Tsereteli idols - now, and then instead of castles with turrets there was Esambaev. The same, not sinking to the brink of a jester, knew how to be not only pleasant, but also smart, acting as an adviser not only in matters of art.
Almost ninety-year-old Mahmud Esambaev kindly received the young man. And he became his guru. And Umar Dzhabrailov again became a disciple as he once did. Esambaev understood perfectly well that in order to advance in a city like Moscow, an unknown Chechen must be not so much very rich as very cunning. Umar was not the only one who came to the dancer for the same, but not everyone had the strength and patience to carry out all his instructions. What were they like? Makhmud Esambaev acted as a born PR man. He was not only a talent in dance. Understanding perfectly well that his age is short and he will have very little to lead his young student through the life, Esambaev ordered Umar to be public. Every single day to prove to everyone around that he strives for the light, participates in all social events, in charity, patronizes the arts, looks after pretty women. And in general, a helper and a dandy. Only such an image could help the then inexperienced Dzhabrailov to become his own in the Moscow get-together. However, Esambaev was an artist, and therefore instilled in his student an overly theatrical style. Hence, Dzhabrailov's love for short jackets and narrow trousers. That on a man over 40 looks already comical.
So, he had to become rich and harmless, imposing and understandable, smart and necessary. Needed for their new partners on the Moscow stage. So that no one has the idea that he is communicating with a bandit. In the literal sense, Umar Dzhabrailov was never a bandit. There was no need for him, he decided all his affairs without noisy "bazaars" and "shooters". However, for some cases, a brigade was at hand, as they said at the time. Its remains (about 40 people) have survived to this day, rather as a nostalgic tribute to the past.
"Blue" period
Our hero rather quickly managed to become his own among the people who were then engaged in the most important thing in Moscow. Property management and privatization. Unlike the opposite Chubais, resourceful Luzhkov did not give city real estate and other property forever, he liked to give everything to management, to a trust. Oleg Mikhailovich Tolkachev is in charge of this then and now. And Umar Dzhabrailov quite easily managed to please him. It is not only beneficial to cooperate with him, but also to please. Here Umar managed to take advantage of one human weakness of Oleg Tolkachev and his friends.
Alas, Russia is not America or Europe, and we are very suspicious of same-sex love. And for government officials this is compromising evidence, as well as for Duma deputies or editors of all-Russian newspapers. Because of this, in Russia such people are forced to stray into flocks. And create what is called the "blue" mafia. What it is? It is rather difficult to explain, here you have to feel it yourself. If you do not have an entrance to Mosimuschestvo, to some Duma deputies from the Union of Right Forces or to the editorial office of the newspaper Argumenty i Fakty, then you will have to look for some less high-ranking community. Naturally, Umar Dzhabrailov was not "gay", for which there are many witnesses, or rather witnesses. However, his viciously sophisticated style, his constant appearance at all sorts of glamorous parties created a feeling of comfort in communicating with him for these people who were not quite happy in the conditions of Russia.
And Umar Dzhabrailov was recommended by “someone” from Mosimuschestvo as first deputy, and then as acting director. General Director of JV "Intourist - RedAmer Hotel and Business Center". This is what is now called the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel. However, in order to become the head of such a prosperous enterprise like this, relations with the Department of External Relations of the Moscow Government were also needed. And Iosif Nikolaevich Ordzhonikidze has been dealing with all external relations in Moscow for several years now. Then Joseph Nikolaevich and Umar Alievich were friends.
Joseph Ordzhonikidze
It so happened that the relationship of Umar Dzhabrailov with Iosif Ordzhonikidze became dominant during his journey through the wilds and thickets of Moscow. When everything was in order for Umar Alievich and Iosif Nikolaevich, everything was in order for our hero, and when everything was not in order in the relationship, then in general not everything is in order. Who is omnipotent Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Government Iosif Ordzhonikidze?
Joseph Nikolaevich is ten years older than Umar, he was born on February 9, 1948 into an ordinary Georgian family. His family had nothing to do with the Stalinist People's Commissar. After graduating in 1971. Tbilisi Polytechnic Ordzhonikidze was assigned to the Tbilisi Aircraft Building Plant. It was there that he became a Komsomol organizer and went up the knurled Komsomol ladder. Already in 1973. he became the secretary of the Zavodskoy district of the Komsomol of Tbilisi. Thanks to the patronage of the then second secretary of the Tbilisi City Committee of the CPSU Boris Nikolsky (former Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Government, and now a member of the Federation Council from the capital), Ordzhonikidze gets an internship in Moscow, where he serves as a small instructor. Then he becomes first secretary, and then first secretary of the Georgian Republican Committee of the Komsomol. Then Joseph Nikolaevich was transferred to Moscow and became one of the secretaries of the Central Committee of the Komsomol. At the time of perestroika, Ordzhonikidze oversaw all the commercial projects of the Komsomol, one of his consultants was the future Moscow mayor Gavriil Popov.
Joseph Ordzhonikidze moved to the Moscow mayor's office back in 1990. Under Popov, he was an adviser on foreign economic relations, and in the Luzhkov administration, through the post of head of the Department of Foreign Relations, he rose to the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Government. Iosif Ordzhonikidze oversees the foreign economic activity of the Moscow Government. And what is it? These are, first of all, Moscow hotels. Iosif Nikolayevich also supervises individual "large-tonnage" projects on behalf of the mayor Yuri Luzhkov. First of all, this is the Moscow City building. He also oversees Moscow gambling establishments. If there were brothels in Moscow, there is no doubt that they would be supervised by Joseph Ordzhonikidze. And opium smokers. However, thank God, so far Moscow is not Amsterdam.
It is no secret that all these areas, due to the presence of a huge amount of cash, are under the scrutiny of various criminal groups. It is also no secret that the most powerful of these groups in Russia in general, and in Moscow, in particular, are the Georgian criminal groups. For example, the number of Georgian-born thieves in law in Russia is greater than thieves in law - Slavs. On the other hand, the Chechen mafia has long been the talk of the town. And the easiest way would be to explain the relationship between Ordzhonikidze and Dzhabrailov in terms of friendship and enmity of these criminal communities. There must be something in this. But not all of them. As I already said, it is wrong to call Dzhabrailov a bandit. Tough, not stopping at anything and using any methods, yes, but a bandit, no. You just don't need to. There are more highly effective methods for making money. Iosif Ordzhonikidze may also know anyone, but he is much more a businessman - an official than anyone else.
And therefore, the relationship of these friends - enemies has always been of an exclusively business nature. Nothing personal, as the heroes of Al Pacino and Marlon Brando said in the famous film. When it was profitable for Joseph Ordzhonikidze, he used Umar Dzhabrailov. It ceased to be profitable - threw it away. Is it a shame? Probably, but what can you do?
I will not retell in detail the history of relations around Radisson-Slavyanskaya and, following the precepts of Sergei Dorenko, I will not report that it was Umar Dzhabrailov who “ordered” his then partner Paul Tatum. This story has been discussed for too long and tediously, and therefore it probably has not been forgotten. For now. I will only note that all Dzhabrailov's accusations are based on only one thesis - Quo vadis? That is - who benefits? You never know who benefits from, Paul Tatum was a person too self-righteous and impudently active, even for today's Russia. And he had enough enemies. By the way, Joseph Ordzhonikidze was one of them. Tatum interfered with his activities, oh, how he interfered.
Umar Dzhabrailov also made money from his relationship with Joseph Ordzhonikidze. The standard Moscow scheme was applied - the city property was transferred to the trust of Dzhabrailov's management company - the notorious Plaza group. And I must say that Umar Dzhabrailov for the 90s turned out to be quite a tough and qualified manager. Everyone was making money and everyone was happy.
However, the privatization of Moscow hotels also began. And then Umar Dzhabrailov tried to get what he thought was his share. His firms tried to take part in the privatization of the Belgrade Hotel, which went under the hammer first. And then Joseph Nikolaevich considered it necessary to throw Umar out of the joint business. According to Dzhabrailov himself, their personal relationship ended in early 2000, and then the first attempt on the life of Joseph Ordzhonikidze took place. This story is well known - Ordzhonikidze was shot at the head office of AFK Sistema, located on Leontyevsky Lane, in the backyard of the city hall on Tverskaya. Both then and now this attempt was explained by the economic problems of Ordzhonikidze connected with the Moscow-City complex. Umar Dzhabrailov was not mentioned in any versions.
But during the second attempt on Iosif Ordzhonikidze's life, the body of Umar's cousin, Salavat Dzhabrailov, was found near the place of the attempt. In fact, his name is Salaudi. The Chechens do not have Salavats, they are not Bashkirs. Salaudi Dzhabrailov was not the most dangerous Chechen. I must say, and not the most fortunate. His commercial projects were never successful, and therefore he had to constantly change the line of business. In general, Umar is really the smartest in his family, his siblings: Hossein, Khusain and Eli are quite simple guys, albeit reliable. That is why they are listed in various enterprises of Umar as CEOs and founders. In fact, Umar rules everything.
Let's go back to Salaudi. He disappeared two days before his body was found next to documents at the scene of the assassination attempt. Umar's nephew Nazim even gathered all his 40 fellows on this matter, it seemed to the Dzhabrailovs that these were ordinary showdowns. And someone just tried to "run over" them. Then the sprightly Russian media announced that it was Salaudi who tried to kill Ordzhonikidze. And he fired a pistol at the deputy prime minister's armored Volvo, despite the fact that it was Salaudi's cousin, Umar, who helped buy this member. A joke, and nothing more. Then quite funny versions appeared, they say, Salaudi fired a pistol at one point of the armored car in order to pierce it. Yeah, one point of a moving car, an ingenious plan. After all, no one, even the Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Government, should consider everyone a fool.
And then everything happened quite calmly. LLC Slavyanskaya Hotel and Business Center, a joint company of AFK Sistema and the Moscow Government, terminated all relations with the Plaza Group as a management company. On this occasion, a letter was sent signed by Gurami Mzhavanadze, naturally, the creature of Joseph Ordzhonikidze. Who would have doubted.
Dzhabrailov's trust business ends. Although, no one evicted him from the office in the same "Slavyanskaya", there are also his shops. All this is temporary. The East does not like a lot of sudden movements. The hotel business of Umar Dzhabrailov is covered. Not because he worked poorly, no, it's just that now is the time to privatize all these numerous savoies and golden ears. And an extra competitor is not needed here. Dzhabrailov is not needed as a management company either. The world chains "Hyatt" and "Hilton" came to Moscow, and now they are already fighting for the right to be the management companies of Moscow hotels. Nothing personal just business.
Shops and bandits
Umar Dzhabrailov was engaged in many types of business. Here is a network of gas stations belonging to his oil company "DANAKO", a business we know in outdoor advertising, shops, etc. However, he never managed to break into the circle of the Berezovsky, Gusinsky and Abramovichs, where he aspired. It was not possible to get the desired dividends from the business with the former oligarch Alexander Smolensky, with whom Dzhabrailov together hoped to raise the bankrupt SBS-Agro bank, renamed by the early partners in 1 OVK. The ungrateful Smolensky did not believe in the purity of Dzhabrailov's plans and mercilessly threw his partner away. I just didn't do anything. Our hero did not manage to get to the Smolensky Palace in Vienna. Although, they say, he really wanted to. But with Austrian subjects (and Smolensky is now an Austrian), jokes are bad. EEC.
Last year, at a time when the deterioration in relations with Ordzhonikidze was not yet so noticeable, Umar Dzhabrailov tried to sell to someone what he had. In a flash, the now impoverished first Russian millionaire Artyom Tarasov appeared, now acting in the role of the elusive Joe and hiding from someone in London. Tarasov, a close friend of another brilliant Moscow Chechen businessman Malik Saydullaev (owner of the Milan concern, which runs the Russian Lotto lottery), as usual, lied to Umar Dzhabrailov with three boxes and promised that the shares of his Plaza group would be quoted on the London Stock Exchange ... The funny thing is that Umar bought himself for a while, believing the swindler.
Nevertheless, attempts to sell everything to someone continued. In particular, according to our hero, Roman Abramovich could personally act as a buyer. However, Abramovich's structures inquired and realized that Dzhabrailov's business is based on relations with Moscow officials, and if there are none, then everything turns out very sour. Some trusts, property is not enough.
Thus, Umar's attempts to become his own among high-flying businessmen did not end in anything. No wonder at the prestigious Swiss and French ski resorts, where elite-fed oligarchs like to spend their time, the hero of our story rides mainly with girls.
In addition, after the old epic with Paul Tatum, which was once again rewritten in 1999. Sergei Dorenko, it suddenly became clear that the entry into the United States was closed for Dzhabrailov. They won't give a visa, or, even worse, what they will do with Borodin. It seems that there is nothing wrong with that, the same Kobzon is also not allowed into the States, and more serious people, such as the Cherny brothers. However, Dzhabrailov began to be pulled in Europe as well. The most unpleasant thing is that even in Monaco, where his ex-wife lives with her daughters, they somehow impartially tried to take Dzhabrailov by the gills and put him in jail for 3 days. Accused of links with organized crime. Specifically, with the thief in law "Petrik", i.e. Alexei Dinarovich Petrov. He is Mr. Suvorov, he is Lenya the Tricky. It is unlikely that there was something serious behind this relationship. The Mazutkinskaya organized criminal group, headed by Petrik, was controlled by the late Otari Kvantarishvili and the seated Vyacheslav Ivankov (Yaponchik), and they did not really like the Chechens. In particular, as people who know this environment say, Otari warned our acquaintance Ordzhonikidze against making any deals with any Chechens.
Dzhabrailov was also accused of having links with Lechi Islamov (Boroda), one of the leaders of the Chechen organized criminal group in Moscow. It is unlikely that Umar Alievich needed a Beard to solve his affairs. He himself could have done everything just as well. Dzhabrailov also had business ties with Ricardo Fancini, who was wanted by Interpol for a whole bunch of criminal offenses. However, many others also had relationships with Ricardo Fancini, for example, those who placed advertisements for Kremlevskaya vodka on outdoor advertising modules. Because it was Ricardo Fancini who was the owner of this brand. Maybe, of course, they are all bandits, but it is rather weak to believe in it.
Did you think that our hero is just a victim of circumstances? No, his methods are varied. Any of his competitors or partners is always under the gun not only of the sharp gaze of narrowed eyes. Let us recall the story of the murder of the general director of Tikhaya Gavan (ATOR) Vladimir Kanevsky (there are other stories), the man who made Umar his business in outdoor advertising. But Vladimir Semenovich was Umar's partner. He mastered the methods of Ordzhonikidze and Dzhabrailov perfectly. Only where the Deputy Prime Minister simply removes unnecessary people from the business, his former partner removes them from life. Nothing personal just business.
Such a bandit's veil of Dzhabrailov continues to this day. I must say that he sometimes flaunts them. But every medal has a downside, you have to pay for everything, and not everyone shakes hands.
From under the stick
Some of the greats (to my shame, I don't remember who) said that if you are not involved in politics, politics will take care of you. This becomes more and more correct, the higher the status of a person. Umar Dzhabrailov always shied away from politics, in his position only such adventures were lacking. How is it, the advanced reader will ask, who managed to finish reading my creation to this point and not go crazy with boredom? After all, Umar Dzhabrailov participated in the 2000 presidential elections?
The participation of our hero in the presidential elections is nothing more than PR half-and-half with banter. On the one hand, Umar received a very decent publicity (by the way, the same Artem Tarasov skillfully uses the status of a former presidential candidate in London, a swindler, but a presidential candidate), on the other hand, it never occurred to anyone in power that he was going to take it seriously. And the Chechen businessman made fun of our democratic values to his heart's content. There was another reason that Umar did not like the role he was given in 1999 at all. his numerous former and current patrons. It would be fine, he was simply forced to finance the OVR, however, the ingratiating Philip Denisovich Bobkov once again appeared on the horizon and recalled something there. As a result, Dzhabrailov had to take a political position and put up well-known posters about baoBABs, Roma and family. He would have known that Roman Abramovich does not forgive such a thing. Never.
Naturally, I would be wrong if I avoided the issue of Umar Dzhabrailov's relationship with what we call Chechen fighters. Especially in the light of the day before yesterday events. In the period 1994-96. As any Moscow law enforcement officer knows, all Chechen businessmen were taxed by the authorities of the then Ichkeria. Did Dzhabrailov pay him? Apparently, yes, because he survived. They also said that two brothers of Vakha Arsanov, the then vice-president of Chechnya, who had now disappeared somewhere, worked in one of the banks, whose office was located on the territory subordinate to the Umarov structures. There was a lot of talk about the fact that Dzhabrailov's close relatives also served in Chechnya as someone there.
Nevertheless, the struggle for the independence of Chechnya worried Umar insofar as. It was not included in his commercial plans. Another thing is that at that time he had very bad relations with a loyal supporter of the federal government, the former mayor of Grozny, Beslan Gantamirov. Gantamirov was a tough and independent person and, unlike Dzhabrailov, knew how to shoot from AKM and lead his people to attack machine guns. Dzhabrailov was a huckster for him, in general, they did not like each other.
However, after Beslan Said-Alievich was imprisoned (who say, for embezzlement, and who, so that he just disappeared from the arena for a while), Dzhabrailov made several conciliatory steps towards his opponent. When Beslan was released from prison, Umar even spoke at some meetings of Moscow Chechens as Beslan's personal envoy. Then their paths did not cross, since Beslan left to lead in Chechnya, and Umar remained in Moscow. Since then, Umar Dzhabrailov has shown complete disinterest in what is happening in his homeland. The idiotic thoughts of his advisers that he should become the president of Chechnya, the businessman himself never took seriously and only laughed.
Genius and PR slave
In order to follow the precepts of the great dancer, Umar Dzhabrailov has to constantly be in sight. In the early 90s, Umar's PR was simple: to get once again on the photo of an idle photojournalist next to Yuri Luzhkov. Preferably a little from the side and back. And then carefully spread the rumor that, they say, he, Umar, is especially close to the Moscow Government, and he de Luzhkov's son-in-law and his "cashier". And even a rumor spread that he really was a son-in-law, and the nickname "Son-in-law" was among the Chechens. But everything ends quickly, even the security guards are now versed in PR by Luzhkov. Who mercilessly drive away from the retinue all those who should not be there.
I had to correct my already theatrical image. Now he has become a full member of the bohemian crowd. Presentations, presentations of any dubious awards (for example, "Silver Galoshes" for dubious achievements in the field of PR, beloved by Umar), sponsoring installations by supposedly modern artists (emptying their stomachs in public on Red Square and running naked, depicting dogs), fashion shows and views. And everywhere Umar Alievich is one of the main characters. All this gives off the same theatricality as the very strange and pretentious clothes that he wears. Love for bohemians is a dangerous thing. And dangerous habits are in use there. Cocaine, for example. Umar did not avoid such a hobby, which greatly raised his rating in such circles. And dropped it in others. But in this fake world of dreams, the addict is used to it. He is one of his own. Although, there are many “new Russians” there, but they rotate in this world at will, and Umar Dzhabrailov - almost out of duty.

Is it all out? |
I even had to open my own club "Virus" and contain the pop group of the same name. And to hold ceremonial events in this institution, during breaks, looking under the girls' skirts and slapping them on the buttocks. And what? The image matches. What kind of spit and dandy without feeling the charms of girls? Even status lovers he has to choose better known, so that they are also difficult by name. At first, he used various cute photo models included in various top ratings there. Then came the turn of the larger birds.
Dzhabrailov became the official lover of the daughter of the former mayor of St. just one of those, Ksenia Sobchak... Of course, the ladies' man immediately showered her with a bunch of jewelry: all kinds of choker and necklaces made of black pearls and God knows what else. When the novice socialite Ksyusha was robbed, the theft pulled either 200 or 600 thousand dollars of jewelry alone. But such reprimands do not disturb the daughter of the current senator from Tuva, Lyudmila Narusova, in addition to Dzhabrailov there is also a failed publisher of the Russian Penthouse Alexander Shustrovich and the St. Petersburg oil tanker Vladimir Leibman. There are probably others. In general, all these gentlemen look at least silly in company with Ksyusha. As if none of them knew that the word "public", as applied to Mademoiselle Sobchak, has a quite distinct connotation. I will not speak for Shustrovich and Leibman, but our hero understands everything perfectly. But he participates in this story.
The story of multiple loves between Dzhabrailov and Sobchak is just the promotion of Umar Alievich's own name. And there is no doubt that they will still converge and disperse, kiss and swear, and every glamorous audience will listen to this. And they will discuss for a long time that Umar Dzhabrailov came to the premiere of the next musical alone and was boring, and Ksenia Sobchak did not come at all with Leibman or Shustrovich, but with some very cute, but clearly "pinkish" girl. Meanwhile, someone nearby was inconsolable. It's just a soap opera. Nothing personal in this love relationship. With ordinary women, Umar is simple. And employees of the same Virus club could be convinced of this more than once. And he is not shy even in front of his guards. However, this is already a "strawberry".
Any attempts to use Ksyusha not only for its intended purpose, but as an opportunity to "make friends" with her influential mother and thus get the opportunity to slip one more high level, ended in nothing. The bed is not a reason for business. Yes, in general, mom is not having a great time now. I had to leave the financial management of various funds, and in Tuva you will lobby a little. However, these are not the worries of our hero.
Of course, Ksyusha herself is no stranger to PR, and she has to raise her image, in between trying to become a photo model for advertising lingerie. I’m laughing at all this, but what is it like for Dzhabrailov himself? A man, not only not poor, but also an oriental one? And in the East, the attitude towards women is still not so relaxed. Indeed, he became a slave to his mask. But somewhere far away, all in the same Monaco, two beloved daughters live: Alvina and Donata, and it is there that not the happiest father travels every year to celebrate his birthday or some simpler holiday in their society. I deliberately do not write about the ex-wife of the current bachelor, this is a topic for a separate story. In the meantime, Umar walks around Moscow in the role of an enviable groom for all sorts of semi-secular things.
If Umar Dzhabrailov was born 10 years earlier, he would undoubtedly become an influential ambassador of our country to some not the last foreign power. Or he would become a top KGB officer, or maybe the party boss of Checheno-Ingushetia. If he was born 10 years later, he could become a brilliant manager of some transnational corporation with business not only in Russia. Or he could become a minister or a major publisher. But he was born in 1958, and his time was ours. He became as he is. With all its beautiful and scary features. He just can't be pictured as a happy bum on the beach. Whether in Hawaii or on the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus. Such is the person. Like a squirrel in a wheel. He runs and cannot stop. What will happen next? Let's find out.
The ex-senator, convicted of hooliganism, expects to return the premium pistol.
The Tverskoy District Court of Moscow sentenced Umar Dzhabrailov, a large capital businessman and former senator from Chechnya, to a fine of 500 thousand rubles. for shooting an award pistol in a hotel room in the capital. Saying goodbye to the journalists after the meeting, the convict said that he was satisfied with the verdict, and also promised to continue to live “beautifully and fruitfully”.
The famous developer and philanthropist Dzhabrailov came to the meeting with two guards in a Maybach. He considered it unnecessary to answer the questions of the journalists who had gathered in front of the entrance, recommending that they first wait for the court's decision, and at the very session he was the first to speak. The businessman said that he admits his guilt, has already apologized to the hotel staff, whom, unwillingly, he frightened with his weapon, compensated for the damage caused to the institution and asks to consider his criminal case in a special order - without arguing the parties and examining the evidence. Judge Elena Ermakova granted the defendant's request, allowing both parties to briefly state their positions.
The state prosecutor explained to the court that Umar Dzhabrailov, being in the room he rented at the Four Seasons hotel, shot twice at the ceiling with Yarygin's award pistol. Then, walking through the corridors of the institution with weapons at the ready, he returned to his room and fired another shot at the ceiling. Thus, according to the prosecutor, he showed demonstrative disrespect for society and committed a crime of average gravity - hooliganism with the use of firearms, for which he should receive two years in prison. Given that the accused had no previous convictions, the prosecutor asked the court to appoint him not a real, but a suspended sentence.
The ex-senator, in turn, called the prosecutor's proposal "too cruel and unreasonable." He explained to the court that he had not even planned to harm anyone, therefore, having fired a couple of shots at the ceiling, he immediately unloaded the weapon. In addition, the court, in the accused's opinion, should have taken into account his impeccable “previous life”. “And all that I have done for my homeland,” added Mr. Dzhabrailov.
His lawyer, Alexander Karabanov, presented to the court positive characteristics of the gunman, issued by the investment and construction company Avanti Stroygrupp, which Umar Dzhabrailov runs, and several other charitable foundations. The latter indicated that the businessman is a major patron of the arts - he donated valuable exhibits to the capital's museums.
The defense lawyer also explained that his client is a "public person" and the imprisonment, even if conditional, will "impede" his social activities. The defender, like Mr. Dzhabrailov himself earlier, asked the court to limit himself to a fine.
Judge Elena Ermakova, after listening to the views of the parties, found Umar Dzhabrailov guilty of hooliganism (part 1 of article 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation). She also explained that the shooter does not suffer from mental disorders and is not subject to dependence on psychoactive substances, and therefore must be held accountable for his actions. Taking into account the remorse and the special procedure of the proceedings, the presiding judge appointed the defendant a fine of 500 thousand rubles. The Yarygin pistol, seized from him during his arrest, was ordered by the court to be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Saying goodbye to journalists near the courthouse, Umar Dzhabrailov said that he was "more than satisfied" with the decision. "Tverskoy court is better than Basmanny," he said, however, immediately stipulating that it was just a joke.
The businessman did not answer the questions about why he began to shoot at the ceiling of the hotel and how much the reconciliation with the owners of the establishment cost, but he willingly disclosed his plans for the future. “I will live beautifully and fruitfully,” said the shooter. According to him, he expects to get the award weapon back from the police, although this will not be easy, he said. In the future, Mr. Dzhabrailov promised to use the pistol "only if it becomes necessary to defend the homeland."
Recall that on August 29, Umar Dzhabrailov was detained by police in a room at the Four Seasons hotel with a pistol in his hands. He could not intelligibly explain the open fire on the ceiling. They were put forward versions of accidental shots during the disassembly of weapons and shooting, simply out of annoyance that arose because of the conflict with the hotel staff. Then he attributed the incident to a shell shock received during the hostilities in Chechnya.
In turn, the examination carried out on behalf of the investigation at the Moscow Scientific and Practical Center for Narcology explained the unreasonable firing in a different way. According to doctors, shortly before the opening of the fire, Umar Dzhabrailov took a dose of cocaine. The magistrate's court also agreed with the experts and fined the businessman 4 thousand rubles. for "the use of a drug not prescribed by a doctor."
And here is another, as they say, close to Luzhkov's entourage, a successful businessman - the owner of the Plaza group (the Danako oil company, the Tihaya Gavan advertising company, the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel, where the American co-owner, Smolensky passage"). They also say that Luzhkov does not like oriental people. Apparently not all.
Umar, a well-known Moscow businessman, owner of the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel, was accused by law enforcement agencies of the murder of his companion, co-owner of the Radisson-Slavyanskaya hotel, American Paul Tatum. Some media outlets accused Umar Dzhabrailov of supplying weapons to the Dudayevites in the warring Chechnya. However, the investigation into the "case of Dzhabrailov and company" was closed.
The media write that the persistent interest in Umar Dzhabrailov on the part of Interpol is understandable. Indeed, with such representatives of the Chechen criminal group as Lechi Islamov (Lechi Boroda), Malik Saidulaev are just not so friendly ...
Reference:
The newspaper "Zolotoy Rog" (Vladivostok), referring to A. Konstantinov's book "The Underworld of Russia", published by the publishing house "Bibliopolis" in 1995, writes: "In the capital, Chechen gangs make up three large groups: Center, Ostankino and Yuzhny Port. Central the group, headed by Lechi Islamov, controls over three hundred companies, as well as prostitution (male and female) in many large hotels. "
Loving father
The portrait of the youngest daughter of Umar Dzhabrailov, 40-year-old president of the Plaza group, now adorns the largest highways in the capital.
Actually, Mr. Dzhabrailov has two daughters. The eldest, Danate, is 9, the little Alvina is 5. Only these two ladies are the Moscow dandy and heartthrob Umar Dzhabrailov devoted with all his soul and thoughts.
Now the girls live with their mother in distant Monte Carlo (the ex-wife of Umar Dzhabrailov emigrated to Europe almost immediately after the divorce). Mr. Dzhabrailov rarely sees his daughters. Therefore, the tender and yearned father decided to place portraits of little Alvina all over Moscow.
The youngest is the pride and greatest love of her dad. An anxious parent calls her "sunshine" and dreams of taking the baby to her in Moscow. Mr. Dzhabrailov is ready to talk about his daughter day and night. At such moments, he completely forgets about business and looks more like a brood hen cackling over chickens than a tough businessman.

Celebrating Umar's birthday
The media call Umar Dzhabrailov's best friend the Deputy Prime Minister of the Moscow Government This is how Profile magazine tells about Umar Dzhabrailov's birthday: “Umar Dzhabrailov’s birthday was fun. Umar Alievich turned forty-one, he invited twenty close friends to the celebration, among which turned out to be the deputy prime minister of the Moscow government Iosif Ordzhonikidze, the head of Sobinbank Alexander Zanadvorov, the show businessman Boris Zosimov with his wife Polina, the chairman of the board of directors of Mercury Leonid Strunin, the president of the BIN bank Michael Shishkhanov and the head of the NBA-bank Sergey Kovanda. came accompanied by police guards and two blondes. The soul of the company and the ringleader at the evening was Mr. Ordzhonikidze. He tirelessly told jokes, offered toasts, scattered compliments to the girls and danced lezginka. "
The former senator and representative of Russia in PACE, who was detained yesterday for shooting in a hotel room, spent less than a day at the Kitay-Gorod police station. After interrogation, the hooliganism suspect (part 1 of Art. 213 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, punishable by up to five years in prison) was released on recognizance not to leave. During this day, the version of Dzhabrailov himself about what happened became clear, the origin of the ill-fated pistol became known, and other murky stories in which a Vainakh businessman and legislator was involved. The ill-wishers, whom he has made a lot in recent years, meanwhile, are using the incident to the full to discredit both the senator himself and his patrons from Ramzan Kadyrov to Dmitry Peskov.
News agencies report on the inadequate state in which the ex-senator was at the time of his arrest. According to TASS, the police found Umar Dzhabrailov in a state of either drug or alcohol intoxication. Umar Dzhabrailov has already passed the appropriate examination, but its result will become known only in a few days. A source in the Ministry of Internal Affairs said that the 59-year-old guest, entering the elevator with a pistol bald, was seen by security guards who immediately called the police. When law enforcement officers who arrived promptly knocked on the room of the former senator, Dzhabrailov himself opened the door with Yarygin's pistol in his hand, while he said: "I will not give up without a fight." Law enforcement officers saw a bullet hole in the ceiling of the room and detained Dzhabrailov.
RIA Novosti reports about the white powder from the businessman's license plate, which was also sent for examination. A source in the Four Seasons owned by Andrey and Yuri Khotin said that Umar Dzhabrailov had been living in the room where the shooting took place for two years and even kept a cat there. This is quite in the spirit of his entire luxurious social life, which migrated from the nineties to the zero.
The fate of Senator Umar Dzhabrailov
In 2004, Dzhabrailov sold his business and became a senator, but his lifestyle practically did not change. He gladly showed his mansion to journalists, under the direction of Aidan Salakhova he collected contemporary art: for example, he was the first in Russia to buy works by Anish Kapoor. Now Umar Dzhabrailov is a philanthropist, chairman of the board of trustees of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, honorary academician of the Russian Academy of Arts, vice president of the Creative Union of Artists of Russia for strategic and special projects. Several years ago, he donated more than 150 works from his personal collection to the Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and even hosted a special exhibition "Gift" there. Recall that a charitable foundation close to Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is also called.
Dzhabrailov's business and social life flourished in the second half of the nineties. Then he was accompanied by numerous media revelations and denials of the ex-senator's representatives. The businessman's name was mentioned in connection with the so-called "Chechen advice notes" case: the use of false payment documents on stolen forms was a common type of fraud. But Umar Dzhabrailov himself denied any involvement in this case. According to Dozhd, the ex-senator had a small oil business, and by the end of the 90s he took over real estate in Moscow.
Prior to joining the Federation Council, Umar Dzhabrailov headed Group Plaza LLC, which managed the Rossiya Hotel, Smolensky Passage, the Moscow Business Plaza business center, and others. From 2009 to 2013, he was an advisor to the Presidential Aide Sergei Prikhodko ...
Umar Dzhabrailov "This is a premium pistol"
The version of what happened, voiced by Umar Dzhabrailov himself, boils down to the fact that the weapon malfunctioned. “The shot happened by accident. Umar has an old Yarygin premium pistol, which, when the bolt is twitched, can fire itself. This is exactly what happened tonight: Dzhabrailov pulled the bolt and a shot rang out, "said the head of the Avanti Association of Entrepreneurs for the Development of Business Patriotism and a former assistant to the Senator. On specialized weapon forums, one can indeed find complaints about the design of this weapon, but it is doubtful that the senator from Chechnya does not know how to use a pistol at all.
In 2000, as reported by the media, Umar's brother, the first deputy general director of the Rossiya Hotel, came to the attention of the police. It was reported that in one of the hotel rooms, the GUBOP employees found a whole arsenal: a sniper rifle with a silencer and two magazines, an AKS-74U machine gun, four TT pistols, two PMs, a homemade submachine gun, a device for firing small-caliber cartridges, 17 magazines for machine guns and pistols, two optical sights and more than 300 rounds of various calibers. The weapon was called "his", the senior assistant of Khusein Dzhabrailov and put forward the version that he found the bag with the weapon at the door of the room and, thinking that the owner had forgotten it, brought it inside. This version looked unconvincing, but the rest of the development of the "Chechen trace" did not lead to anything.
American businessman Paul Tatum in 1996 accused the Russian of death threats. He believed that Umar Dzhabrailov wanted to remove him from the founders of the Intourist-RedAmer Hotel and Business Center (Dzhabrailov was the deputy director of this company). After a while, the businessman was shot near the Kievsky railway station. It was not possible to prove Dzhabrailov's involvement in the crime. To this day, the entrepreneur is prohibited from entering the United States.
It is known that Umar Dzhabrailov was awarded the Grach pistol by a government decree in 2005, and he signed the permits for it himself. The weapon in a solemn atmosphere was handed over to his fellow countryman, but for what merits the senator received the award, it was not possible to establish. According to media reports, while "Yarygin" is seized by the investigation as evidence. And after the completion of the investigation, his representative may well apply to the court for additional punishment of the accused in the form of deprivation of his award weapon. In this case, the pistol will be sent to the special storage facility of the Ministry of Internal Affairs award fund.
From the scene, operatives seized spent cartridges, bullets and solid cartridges remaining in the store. All of them were sent for examination, which is to establish whether Umar Dzhabrailov used the ammunition included in the set of award weapons, or others. When using a different ammunition, the owner of the award pistol may be held liable for illegal circulation of cartridges (Article 222 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation).
With regard to the hotel bully, organizational conclusions were made along the party line. The Moscow branch of United Russia told Vedomosti that Dzhabrailov's membership in the party was suspended for the duration of the investigation. Presumably, Umar was not very upset by this news. He loses much more from the exit of Elizaveta Peskova from the Avanti association founded by him, where she served as an advisor to the head of the organization. The representative of Peskova assures that it happened on August 20, and the news of the departure of the daughter of the presidential press secretary "coincided" with the shooting of Dzhabrailov, allegedly by accident.
As previously reported by the media, Umar Dzhabrailov paid for Elizaveta Peskova's voyage to Crimea in order to draw attention to the problems of his friend Rakhmutdin Dadaev, who owns the Yuzhny Sevastopol shipyard.
