Almost 10 years have passed since the former mayor of the capital of Dagestan, Said Amirov, was imprisoned for life. He was convicted of connections with terrorists and the contract killing of an employee of the Dagestan Investigative Committee. However, the unsalted ex-mayor to this day still has huge property resources privatized in private hands.
The head of Dagestan, Sergei Melikov, a little more than a year ago, held an informal meeting with the eldest son of Said Amirov, who, in turn, expressed a desire to cooperate with the Dagestan authorities in order to preserve the resources acquired by his father. In particular, we were talking about resource supply organizations in private hands, since the Makhachkala water utility and city electrical networks remain under the control of the Amirov family to this day.
According to observers of the Cheka-OGPU, such rapprochement with the current government of the republic cost the family of Said Amirov $10 million. But at the same time, another solvent politician is also fighting for Makhachkala in the person of the Secretary of State of the Republic of Dagestan and oil tycoon Magomed-Sultan Magomedov, who boasts in his entourage of ordering a large-scale audit in the Dagestan FSB Directorate.
Regrouping and taking into account the interests of two financial motivators at once in the person of Amirov Jr. and Magomed-Sultan Magomedov was played out in the selection of a potential mayor of Makhachkala, for whose role the republican authorities intend to nominate Rizvan Gazimagomedov, who was once part of Said Amirov’s team and headed the deputy corps of Makhachkala under him. But at the same time, after the conclusion of the all-powerful boss, Gazimagomedov began to be associated with Magomed-Sultan Magomedov.
At stake are billions of rubles and the redistribution of resource supply organizations in Makhachkala. And, most likely, nothing will change for the better for ordinary Makhachkala residents. The issue is important from a strategic point of view, because the pursuit of their interests by representatives of regional authorities does not affect the standard of living of Dagestanis, which will naturally continue the outflow of Dagestanis outside the republic.
