Childhood and youth

His homeland is the village of Prigorodnoye, Grozny district of the republic. In open sources, there is evidence that the family of the future entrepreneur belongs to the influential Chechen teip Khacharoy.

The businessman's family was large and not very wealthy. For this reason, since childhood, he had to earn money on his own. Perhaps it was this circumstance that helped develop his talent for entrepreneurial activity. In his interviews, businessman Baisarov said that his first business was the sale of apples, which he purchased from watchmen in state orchards. The “case” was not very large, but marked the beginning of a long and very successful entrepreneurial journey.

Education

Having received a secondary education, a 16-year-old young man decided to continue his studies at a metropolitan university. Having left for Moscow in 1985, at the insistence of his older brother, Ruslan Baysarov became a student at the Moscow Institute of Strategic Studies. The first serious steps in business belong to the same period: Baysarov Ruslan was engaged in the sale of computer equipment, customized for users who speak Russian. Then it was a novelty and brought him a significant profit. In 1986-1988, a forced timeout followed due to conscription into the army. After a two-year service, he realized that he was not ready to engage in construction, and moved to the Oil Institute in Grozny. In 1996, he had a diploma in engineering and economics in his hands. In 2001, Baisarov Ruslan Sulimovich supplemented his achievements with a master's degree in sociology at Moscow State University, and in 2018 - a candidate of technical sciences at MISiS.

The first railway in Tuva

In 2013, Ruslan Baisarov's company TEPC acquired a license to develop Russia's largest Elegestskoye coal deposit in the Republic of Tyva.

More recently, in May last year, TEPK Kyzyl-Kuragino JSC (a subsidiary of TEPK) and the state Federal Agency for Railway Transport entered into a concession agreement for the financing, creation and operation of public railway infrastructure facilities on the Elegest - Kyzyl - Kuragino railway line. This will be the first railway in Tuva, which will connect the republic with the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

Just a few weeks ago, in April 2019, TEPK Kyzyl-Kuragino JSC signed a general contractor agreement with Russian Railways for the design and construction of the Elegest-Kyzyl-Kuragino railway line. The government expects that the implementation of such a powerful infrastructure project will improve the economic and transport situation in Eastern Siberia, as well as create new jobs.

Being engaged in the railway, Ruslan Baisarov does not forget about coal mining: as part of the integrated development of the Elegest coal deposit, a project is already being prepared to create a coal port terminal in the Khabarovsk Territory.

Infrastructure projects of the Most Group of Companies

The group of companies IC "Most" is also a sphere of serious business interests of Ruslan Baysarov. In 2015, the businessman acquired a 25% stake in the company, and a year later he increased his share to a controlling 56% and headed the board of directors.

Most is engaged in the most important Far Eastern infrastructure projects for the Russian Federation - the construction of the first Nizhneleninsk-Tongjiang railway bridge across the Amur River and the first Blagoveshchensk-Heihe road bridge, which should connect the Russian Far East with China.

SK Most implements projects in Moscow as well. At the end of 2018, the mayor of Moscow Sergei Sobyanin said that Ruslan Baisarov's construction corporation had completed the laying of the first double-track tunnel in the capital, built according to Spanish technology as part of the construction of the new Nekrasovskaya metro line. As noted by the deputy mayor of the capital for construction Marat Khusnullin, the tunnel project from the Okskaya station to the Stakhanovskaya station was commissioned on time, despite the difficult geological conditions and dense residential development in the area.

Charity

Ruslan Baysarov does not forget about the social role and responsibility of big business, he is actively involved in charity work. However, the businessman does not particularly talk about his charitable projects.

But something is leaking to the media: for example, in 2009 Ruslan Baysarov participated in a charity auction, during which he laid out 200 thousand euros for a small role for an aspiring actress in the film Fyodor Bondarchuk"Stalingrad". The money went to the treatment of children with cancer.

Father of six children

Ruslan Baysarov is married and the father of six children. The first wife of a businessman was a fashion model Tatyana Kovtunova, in 1993 the couple had a daughter Camila.

The second wife of Baisarov was the singer Christina Orbakaite, in 1998 their son Denis was born. The businessman also has a 16-year-old son, Ilman, and a 14-year-old daughter, Dali.

In 2009, Baisarov married his fellow villager Madina Gaitaeva, a graduate of the Faculty of Economics and Finance of the Chechen State University, the couple had two sons in marriage - Amir And Amine.

Owner and CEO of JSC "Tuva Energy Industrial Corporation" (TEPC).
Chairman of the Board of Directors of the SK Most group of companies.

Ruslan Baisarov was born on August 9, 1968 in the small village of Prigorodnoye in the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Socialist Soviet Republic. Their large family did not live well and hardly anyone could have imagined then that one of the sons of Sulim and Kasirat was a future well-known businessman with a worldwide reputation, the head of strategically important projects on a national scale, and a frequent participant in the prestigious Forbes ratings. True, he already showed his talent as a skilled businessman - from early childhood, an enterprising young man found a variety of ways to earn money - resold apples bought from employees of state orchards or, for example, collected kefir bottles. So, already in his school years, he had his own money, and also a big dream of becoming a successful person.

In October 2014, it became known that the eldest daughter of the Chechen millionaire Ruslan Baysarov got married.

For Deni Baysarov's sister, this marriage was the second.

Camilla hoped that he would be the last, but her dream did not come true.

Camilla's second wedding became known only thanks to Denis's Instagram

16-year-old Denis then wrote an incredibly touching congratulation for a relative.

“I love you more than life, my most beloved sister. Today you are especially beautiful, happy and in general today you are a wife! I am sure that you will be the happiest. Now you will create your own family, and you will be the best wife. I’m unrealistically happy for you and don’t even hope, but we will see you very often, it’s not easy to get rid of me. We are one big family and we are always together. CONGRATULATIONS and be happy,” Denis emphasized.

The young man did not say who became his new relative, but shared a picture of the bride.

Camilla, as befits a Muslim woman, was dressed in a completely closed snow-white dress, which, however, did not hide her luxurious figure. The bride's head was also covered with a dense white cloth. Denis himself looked quite informal in a shirt, jeans and sneakers.

The dress for the bride was then sewed by Igor Chapurin

Camilla's first husband was a certain Chechen "entrepreneur" Islam Isaev, whose wedding took place when the girl was 17 years old.

According to Chechen customs, a girl can only get married after her father's blessing. It is clear that Baysarov gave his daughter not for a simple guy. The groom's family presented the bride with a Cartier diamond set, complemented by a Chopard engagement ring and Mikimoto pearl beads.

A luxurious dress, embroidered with pearls, which took more than six meters of handmade lace, cost a fortune.

The young people played the wedding in one of the elite restaurants in Moscow, to which they were rushed with a breeze by a chic Rolls-Royce. Among the guests of the ceremony were the spouses Emin and Leyla Agalarov, Minister of Communications Igor Shchegolev, businesswoman Alla Verber, businessman Umar Dzhabrailov, singer Katya Lel and others.

However, the first marriage of the heiress of a millionth fortune did not last long - only a year and a half.

The couple did not name the official reasons for the breakup, but numerous acquaintances of the young people unanimously said that the marriage was calculated - Isaev, who was starting his career as a businessman, really needed an alliance with such a powerful person as Ruslan Baysarov.

Even before her first marriage, Camilla managed to meet the son of an Azerbaijani businessman and deputy Danil Adli, Ivan Yankovsky, Kirill Sheykhametov, who is currently raising two daughters from Miss Moscow`11 Daria Konovalova, as well as Fyodor Bondarchuk’s son Sergei, now father of two children from Tatyana Mamiashvilli.

On one of her pages on social networks (after the first divorce), Camilla claimed that they were not officially married to Islam Isaev - at the wedding there was only the rite of the mullah, traditional for Muslim weddings, and they did not go to the registry office.

24-year-old Kamilla Baysarova is one of the brightest representatives of the "golden youth", but not much is known about her life. The eldest daughter of businessman Ruslan Baisarov does not maintain social networks (or is registered there under an assumed name) and rarely goes out.

The last time we heard about her was three years ago, when it became known that the girl got married.

And yesterday, information appeared in the media that Baysarova again joined the ranks of enviable brides.

Camilla separated from her husband Rahman two years after the birth of the child. What caused the breakup is unknown.

And a little about Camilla's dad.

One of the richest Chechens, Russian businessman Ruslan Baysarov was married four times, and all his children from these marriages stayed with him. First Ruslan Baysarov's wife successful fashion model Tatyana Kovtunova married him in the early nineties, and four years later gave birth to his daughter Camilla.

However, Ruslan's romance with Russian singer Kristina Orbakaite put an end to their family life.

After the divorce, the first wife of a businessman remarried and went into business - she became the owner of a company organizing festive events. She went missing and nothing is known to this day.

Ruslan Baysarov met his second wife in 1997, and a year later Kristina Orbakaite gave birth to his son Denis.

Three years later, at the presentation of Christina's new album May, which took place in the capital's Kristall club, in a fit of jealousy, Baysarov hit his common-law wife so hard that he broke her nose, but the final break between them occurred later - in 2003, the businessman had an affair with young nineteen-year-old model from modus vivendis Alina Tsevina, and the result of this passion was the birth of another child, Ruslan, the son of Elman.

Alina became the third wife of Ruslan Baysarov and moved to his house near Moscow.

But their family life lasted only two years - the businessman had a new mistress - a model named Julia. Now Alina has experienced the role of a deceived wife and moved out from Baisarov, and Yulia, who gave birth to Dali's daughter, took her place.

According to the latest information, today the wife of Ruslan Baysarov is a Chechen girl from his ancestral village, which is only a year older than his daughter Camilla.

Despite the fact that Baysarov is an influential businessman, his name became known to many only after he became the husband of Kristina Orbakaite, and also thanks to the high-profile process associated with a lengthy trial over custody of their son Denis. Kristina claimed that her ex-husband stole their common son and did not want to return him, and it came to the point that Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov intervened in this conflict. As a result, the former spouses decided to go to the world and let Denis decide for himself who he wants to stay with. After breaking up with Christina, Baisarov gave his ex-mother-in-law, Alla Pugacheva, a luxurious apartment in an elite building in the center of Moscow overlooking the Cathedral of Christ the Savior.

It became known who is the second husband

Updated on 22/03/18 12:42:

Builder, oilman, industrialist, philanthropist, and besides, a handsome, intelligent and rich man in the prime of his life. Could Ruslan Baysarov, a boy from the Chechen-Ingush village of Prigorodnoye, who brought his first money to the family from the sale of orchard apples, imagine that he would be included in the Forbes list? Hardly.

But if you are a person with exorbitant ambitions, an entrepreneurial streak and a great desire to plow day and night, sooner or later you will definitely find yourself in the “gold rating”.

Today, 51-year-old Ruslan Sulimovich Baisarov (born August 9, 1968) is the general director of Tuva Energy Industrial Corporation JSC (TEPC) and the chairman of the board of directors of SK Most Group of Companies, and he began his career in the entertainment business. In 1997, together with Fyodor Bondarchuk and Nikita Mikhalkov's son Stepan, a descendant of an ancient Chechen family opened almost in the very center of Moscow

Beauty saloon,
- one of the first Japanese restaurants in the country,
- gambling establishment
- and a nightclub.

The novice businessman earned money for this project while still studying at the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute, where he entered immediately after school in 1985. Serious for those times, the first-year student made capital by selling computers adapted for Russian-speaking users.

Before implementing in the late 90s a salon and entertainment, as they would say now, a startup, the future businessman served two years in the army. After military service in the capital's university, Baysarov decided not to return - he transferred from it to the Grozny Oil Institute. Academician M.D. Millionshchikov. Five years later, a graduate engineer-economist became interested in the science of society and received a master's degree from the Department of Sociology of Moscow State University. And in 2018, Baisarov defended his thesis at the Moscow Institute of Steel and Alloys. Now the dollar millionaire is a candidate of technical sciences.

Since the beginning of the 2000s, Ruslan Baisarov has been trying his hand at the oil industry - first he created the Infant oil refinery, which annually processed about 1.5 million tons of oil, supplying gasoline to domestic gas stations and providing fuel to state-owned companies, and later, already having solid entrepreneurial background, actively involved in several projects in the fuel and oil and gas sectors.

Over the years, he has held senior positions at:
- Moscow Fuel Association,
- Moscow oil and gas company,
- Moscow Oil and Central Fuel Companies.

At the end of the 2000s, Ruslan Sulimovich buys part of the assets of Sibir Energu, and then sells them to Gazprom Neft for $740 million.

Family is the key to success

Before moving on to the details of what the entrepreneur is focused on today, it is worth saying that business for Ruslan Baysarov is an important part of his life, but he never forgets about his family and children.

Ruslan Sulimovich, 51, has six children. True, from different wives.

The first child in 1993 was the daughter of Camille. After a while, the young man meets Kristina Orbakaite, and in 1998 Denis, the eldest son of a businessman, was born. The couple later separated. The entrepreneur also has a son, Ilman (born in 2003). The boy, like daughter Kamila, is brought up in the Baisarov family. The second daughter, Dali, was born in 2005. In the current marriage, with his countrywoman Madina Gaitaeva, whom the businessman married in 2009, sons Amir and Amin are growing up.

Despite being busy, Baysarov, who himself grew up in a large family, takes care of all his children, tries to spend as much time with them as possible and pays special attention to their cultural education in the national spirit.

Coal perspective projects and not only

The main sphere of interests of the Russian businessman today is the development of the fuel and energy complex of Russia and the formation of modern infrastructure in the Far East and Western Siberia, without which, according to Ruslan Baysarov, it is impossible to establish economic ties between regions, increase foreign trade turnover and expand investment cooperation.

In 2011, the entrepreneur creates his own project in Tuva, establishes a company and becomes its head himself, and two years later TEPC acquires a license to develop Russia's largest Elegest coal deposit.

The huge prospects for the development of Elegest, as well as the entire Ulug-Khem coal basin, of which the deposit is a part, have been talked about for a long time. The construction of mining and processing enterprises here is, first of all, the rise of the economy of Tyva and the development of the coal industry in the republic. And the volume of industrial reserves of only one field of the entrepreneur is huge - almost 860 million tons. In addition, Ruslan Baysarov’s company is building not only a mining and processing plant, but also creating infrastructure as part of the project - this is a coal shipping terminal in one of the Russian ports, which is planned to be built by 2024, as well as the Elegest-Kyzyl-Kuragino railway line - between by the way, this is the first railway in the history of the region. In Soviet times, local residents could not even dream of this - it was not clear how such a project could be carried out in such difficult conditions. And now everyone realizes how laborious the work is. No joke: on the 400-kilometer highway, eight tunnels will be laid through the mountains and more than a hundred bridges will be built. But the main thing is that the resource-rich region will get access to the federal highway.

The prospects for the implementation of the entire coal project for the region are huge: as Ruslan Baisarov said, in addition to taxes, and they promise to be very impressive, the construction of the railway alone will help create about five thousand jobs. Twice as many more Russians (and this is at least) will be employed after the mining and processing plant is built and the enterprise reaches full capacity. Ties between regions will be strengthened with the advent of the road.

In order to speed up the implementation of the project, in the spring of 2018, the Russian government ordered the construction of the road under a concession agreement. Its participants are JSC TEPK Kyzyl-Kuragino, a subsidiary of Baysarov, who also heads the company, and the Federal Agency for Railway Transport, as a representative of the state. A year later, the structure of the entrepreneur signed an agreement with the Russian Railways, which acted as the general contractor for the construction of the branch. Economic Development Minister Maxim Oreshkin, who is also responsible for the development of the Tuvan region as a whole, was appointed to oversee the process. According to the investor, the appearance of a curator of this level and the involvement of Russian Railways in the project will speed up the pace of the project.

In August 2019, it became known that an expert opinion had already been received on part of the documentation, and Baysarov’s company could proceed with the direct implementation of the project. The main work is scheduled for 2020. At the same time, Russian Railways proposed to consider the possibility of increasing the capacity of the future railway to 27 million tons or more. In the original version of the project, this figure is about half as much. At the same time, the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov, said that the construction of the plant at Elegest, as well as the port terminal in Vanino, could receive guarantee support from the state in the future.

It is likely that as soon as the promising Elegest project begins to operate, Baisarov's financial assets will go up, and in the prestigious rating of an authoritative economic publication, he rises above the current 187th line. Recall, thanks to successful investments in various industries, for the past four years a successful entrepreneur has been a permanent member of the list of the two hundred richest businessmen in Russia according to Forbes magazine. The first time he got into the prestigious rating in 2014. Then, with a fortune of $ 900 million, one of the richest representatives of the Chechen diaspora in Russia ranked 116th.

Development of the Great Siberian Route

In the mid-2010s, Ruslan Sulimovich became a shareholder of SK Most Group of Companies. Then the businessman became the owner of a blocking stake in the company, and already in 2016 he brought the share to 56%, becoming the controlling owner of the enterprise. Specializing in the construction and reconstruction of bridges, tunnels and subways, the group of companies has put into operation more than two and a half thousand objects in 27 years. The leader in the construction industry has successfully implemented dozens of significant infrastructure projects for the country's economy. The Russian Bridge, which has already become famous, the tunnels in Sochi, laid for the Winter Olympics, are among the brightest.

Perhaps there is no region in the country where at least one bridge, road junction, tunnel or overpass was not built by Baisarov's company. You can list the rivers, whose banks are connected by the hands of specialists from the SK Most Group of Companies, railway and road tunnels on highways throughout the country, for an arbitrarily long time. With the help of the giant shield "Victoria", a new section of the Moscow metro was laid: "Okskaya" - "Stakhanovskaya", and today the company has completed tunneling work and entered the "Nizhegorodskaya" on the Nekrasovskaya metro line.

Ruslan Baysarov's companies have recently been active in the Arctic region. The businessman is sure that the implementation of large-scale "northern" projects will give impetus to the development of not only the border zones near the North Pole, but the entire country. So, at the end of 2018, his company, which has vast experience in building complex facilities in difficult natural conditions since the construction of BAM, commissioned one of its “Arctic” facilities - the seaport of Sabetta, through which shipments of liquefied gas produced in Yamal are already uninterrupted. A significant amount of cargo from the Northern Sea Route will also pass through the new terminals year-round.

Currently, a company headed by Baisarov, which unites more than a dozen bridge-building enterprises and three tunnel divisions, is building two cross-border bridge crossings with China across the Amur River in the Far East. A road bridge 1,080 meters long will connect the countries near Blagoveshchensk (Amur Region) in December 2019, and a railway bridge near the village of Nizhneleninskoye (Jewish Autonomous Region) also at the end of 2019. The length of the Russian part of the railway crossing itself is small, but together with the adjacent access roads, its length will be more than five kilometers. It was planned that the bridge would be opened for traffic in 2019. It will provide a throughput capacity of 21 million tons of cargo per year.

Ruslan Baysarov has repeatedly noted the importance of joint projects with China, which will help build bridges with a neighbor, both literally and figuratively. Because it will help to integrate the economy, first of all, of the Far East into the economy of the countries of the Asia-Pacific region. Trade and economic ties between the two countries participating in the project will further strengthen, and the path to consumers of Russian products in Southeast Asia will be reduced by more than 1,700 kilometers. Speaking about the peculiarities of the construction of crossings, the investor noted that, for example, the railway bridge provides for the passage of trains on tracks with different widths - 1520 mm for Russian and 1435 mm for Chinese trains.

These are not the only grandiose projects of SK Most Group of Companies. Since January 2018, Sakhalin has been upgrading the Far Eastern Railway from the 1067 mm gauge to the network-wide 1520 mm gauge. During this geographically unprecedented project, Baysarov's company will reconstruct 53 infrastructure facilities, including several dozen bridges. Experts note the severe deterioration of the island infrastructure, and therefore they have to build bridges, in fact, anew. The pace of modernization largely depends on the coordination of their actions, because the company's task is to prepare bridge crossings for the laying of a railway with a new gauge. However, delivery of objects just in time has always been a competitive advantage of SK Most Group of Companies. On the same Sakhalin, the company is simultaneously building three dozen bridges. Moreover, the structure of Ruslan Baysarov joined the project only in 2018 - two years before the completion of all work. At the same time, it was necessary to deliver machinery, equipment, materials to the island from the mainland (and this is in the absence of a bridge). And besides, they worked only during technological breaks, so as not to deprive local residents of their usual means of transportation.

In fact, the situation is similar with the project of laying the second Baikal tunnel, which is being carried out parallel to the first branch. Construction as part of the modernization of the BAM and the Trans-Siberian Railway to increase the capacity of both highways is also carried out by the structures of Ruslan Baisarov. After the entrepreneur became the main owner of the group of companies, the tunneling, which has already acquired the status of one of the largest artificial structures in the country, accelerated, which definitely speaks of the businessman as an effective strategic investor, able to quickly resolve financing issues. After all, the construction of a tunnel is still a laborious and therefore extremely costly process - you need to take into account a lot of nuances when passing through the rock. We have to work in complex mining and geological conditions, in seismic areas, take care of equipment that often needs repair, because constant friction against hard rock leads to wear.

Moreover, during the construction, Baisarov's specialists use a special tunnel-boring complex, which passed all the tests with a bang back in Sochi when preparing the infrastructure for the 2014 Olympics. He is affectionately referred to in the company as a "veteran", and he will give odds to many young people, especially in capable hands. According to the professionals of SK Most, they had to resort to a trick to reduce the time for repairs: the project provided for breakdowns between the tunnel and the adit every three hundred meters, which is why the complex did not have to be rolled back to replace the blades.

By the way, the construction of the second branch of the tunnel at BAM can already be considered history. The main work has been completed, according to the plan, by the end of 2019, the first trains should pass through it. Compared to the first Baikal tunnel, this is an example of modern infrastructure: the facility is equipped with all kinds of sensors that monitor uninterrupted power supply, security, and ventilation. A video surveillance system helps keep order. After the completion of all work, the capacity of new and reconstructed highways will increase significantly. When it became clear what important and necessary work had been done, we thought about reconstructing the first branch.

Good deeds of Ruslan Baisarov

In December 2009, Ruslan Baysarov transferred a significant amount for the treatment of children with cancer. It was two hundred thousand euros that the businessman paid for a lot exhibited at one of the charity events - the right to a three-minute appearance of an aspiring actress in Bondarchuk's film "Stalingrad". But this is only a small part of all the businessman's charitable projects that got into the media. The entrepreneur does not advertise activities in this direction.
