Abdusamad Gamidov

Abdusamad Gamidov is a former chairman of the government of the Republic of Dagestan, a defendant in a criminal case on corruption in the highest echelons of power in the republic.

Abdusamad Mustafayevich was born in April 1966 in the small mountain village of Mekegi, located almost in the center of Dagestan. Father worked as a driver, mother - as a primary school teacher. The Mekegin settlement gave the republic many famous personalities: the mayor of Makhachkala, Magomed Suleimanov, the Minister of Internal Affairs Dalgat Surkhaev, Hero of Russia Magomed Omarov, artists, poets.

The legend of Dagestan was called the elder brother of Hamid Hamidov, the minister of finance of the republic, a deputy of the State Duma. My brother died in 1996 as a result of a terrorist attack. Abdusamad also has a younger brother, Sirazhudin, and a sister, Bakanay.

Sirazhudin sits in the regional parliament, is a member of the committee on construction, housing and communal services, transport and communications. The sister, according to unconfirmed reports, owns the Everest hemodialysis clinic in Makhachkala.

In his native village, Abdusamad graduated from high school and entered the Dagestan Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Industrial and Civil Engineering. After receiving a diploma of higher education, the first place of work for Hamidov was the republican branch of the sports society "Dynamo". There, a young engineer oversaw the construction of sports facilities.

The family paid much attention to sports, the brothers achieved success in wrestling: Abdusamad is an international master of sports.

The biography of the future politician has changed with the beginning of changes in the country and the introduction of free market relations. In 1993, the elder brother Hamid Hamidov founded the commercial bank "Elbin" - the largest financial company in the region. He entrusted the post of chairman of the board to a relative - Abdusamad. Over time, Bakanai became the largest holder of the bank's shares.

A year later, Abdusamad became a member of the leadership of the republican branch of Sberbank of Russia. By this time, he received an economic education, according to some sources - at the International Institute of Management and Business, according to others - at the International Institute of Business and Law. In the early 2000s, Hamidov acquired a diploma in public administration from the Dagestan State University.

Abdusamad Hamidov began his activity as a politician from the deputy chair of the People's Assembly of Dagestan. After the death of his brother "by inheritance" he headed the Ministry of Finance of Dagestan and held this post for almost 17 years, with four heads of the Republic replaced. The former minister was even given credit for his ability to stay under the rule of Ramazan Abdulatipov.

As noted by observers, the mentality of the national subjects of the Russian Federation, established in the days of the USSR, played a significant role in such stability. In Dagestan, the principle of separation of power by nationality was never violated, and when Magomedali Magomedov was in power, the clan system began to flourish. Hamidov, a Dargin, held a ministerial position when the government was headed by an Avar and a Kumyk.

In July 2013, by unanimous decision of the People's Assembly, Abdusamad Mustafayevich was approved as the Prime Minister of the Republic. At that time, Hamidov's candidacy suited the head of the region, Abdulatipov, because he is an experienced backstage player, unlike his independent predecessor, Mukhtar Medzhidov. Hamidov turned out to be more of a "technical" prime minister, under whom the head of the republic gained the ability to personally control the government.

For a native of the Caucasus, the family is a special value, carefully guarded. Therefore, there is no information about the private life of the politician. The wife's occupation is also unknown. Gamidov traditionally has a large family - six children.

In one of his old interviews, Abdusamad said that he only has one day off - Sunday, and it is spent communicating with loved ones, children or in the gym. The former builder's hobbies include designing and landscaping.

There are also poignant moments in Hamidov's life. In 2000, the then minister was among the hostages in an airplane seized by a group of terrorists led by Akhmed Amirkhanov. Before that, the son of the elder brother was kidnapped. A ransom was demanded for Jamal. The boy spent three years in captivity.

With the appointment of the head of Dagestan, Vladimir Vasiliev (by the way, the former head of the Department for Combating Organized Crime of the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs), active activities began in the region under the flag of combating corruption.

In February 2018, the Investigative Committee and the FSB of Russia carried out the arrests of Abdusamad Gamidov, two of his deputies and the Minister of Education of the Republic. People who believe that they know the situation from the inside gave the event a colorful name - the cleansing of the "Hamido clan". In addition, some media outlets believe that these are not the last detentions in the leadership of the region, and a series of high-profile revelations will soon follow.

It is assumed that the head of the government was surrendered by the previously arrested mayor of Makhachkala, Musa Musaev, who is also part of a kind of Mekegin clan. Musaev accompanied Gamidov throughout his career: he started at the Elbin Bank, then worked in the Ministry of Finance, served as Minister of Construction and Housing and Communal Services.

High-ranking officials were charged with embezzlement of budget funds on an especially large scale and fraud. Homes and workplaces were searched. Photos and videos of what they managed to find spread all over the news feeds.

The scandal was not spared by the business structures, one way or another affiliated with the Hamidov family. The key role in corruption schemes is again assigned to the same bank Elbin, whose board until 2015 was headed by sister Abdusamada. Exclusively in this bank, accounts were opened for the Directorate of the State Customer-Developer, which was engaged in the development of budget funds allocated for construction.

At the helm of the organization was not an ordinary person - a protege of the Minister of Education Shahabas Shakhov. In turn, the directorate was created to replace the government institutions that were liquidated, according to rumors, overnight. Before that, institutions had been coping with similar tasks for fifteen years without criticism.

Contractors used the services of the bank by order. Of course, not just like that, but for a share of 5%. According to rumors, Abdusamad Hamidov facilitated the closure of branches of almost 20 credit institutions in Dagestan. There are only four left, among which Elbin has a monopoly role. The quite reasonable question of how the bank managed to pass the checks of the Central Bank of Russia was answered by orders from above.

The chair also swayed under the head of the republican branch of the federal treasury. A civil servant is suspected of misusing 2.5 billion rubles. The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation revealed violations in almost all regional departments of federal authorities. So the arrest of the first person in the government of Dagestan, most likely, is not the last news in a high-profile case.

Local law enforcement officials, on condition of anonymity, said that information on corrupt officials was collected a couple of years ago. But high ties again went into action, allegedly under Ramazan Abdulatipov it was simply impossible to arrest anyone. This is probably why the former head of the region condemned the zeal of the new.
