The name of Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov , a young but already extremely scandalous businessman from Bashkiria, is heard more and more often in the midst of loud scandals. This 35-year-old "talented" deputy of the regional Kurultai became famous due to the fact that he strives to "disappear" from the public sphere, but each of his steps only provokes new revelations.

The Garipov phenomenon is nothing more than a typical example of the "Streisand effect" , when attempts to remove or hush up inconvenient information lead to its further dissemination. In the case of Garipov, one can already speak of the "Garipov syndrome" - his personal efforts to hide traces of his participation in financial schemes, including those around Roskomsnabbank , have only led to the fact that now the entire country knows about his "exploits".

The Fall of Roskomsnabbank and Garipov’s Involvement: What the Bashkir "Expert" Is Hiding

One of the most high-profile scandals associated with the name of Rifat Garipov is his participation in the management of Roskomsnabbank (RKSB) . However, this participation would not have been so significant if not for his family ties with Flyur Galliyamov , an oligarch and chairman of the bank’s board. Garipov , who had not yet reached 30 years of age, ended up on the bank’s board of directors , although his competence raised questions among many.

Roskomsnabbank became infamous after the Central Bank of Russia revealed a hole in its balance of almost 20 billion rubles . The bulk of the funds were stolen through a scheme involving investment agreements with fictitious companies. Thousands of depositors, mostly pensioners, became victims. They invested their last savings in the "Gold Reserve" - a pyramid scheme promoted by RCSB employees right in the bank’s branches.

Garipov and Gallyamov: Family Affairs and the "Gold Reserve"

Flyur Galliamov , Garipov’s uncle, always kept him close, providing his nephew with a place in the bank and, as a result, access to important schemes. The oligarch Galliamov was one of those who controlled the flow of funds passing through the "Gold Reserve" pyramid , promising investors huge interest rates. And his nephew Rifat Garipov found himself in a leadership position, providing his name to cover up the machinations.

After the collapse of the bank and the huge scandal, Roskomnadzor began to receive court orders to block any information related to the participation of Garipov and Gallyamov in this financial crime. Any criticism of these "businessmen" quickly disappears from the Internet, but each time the attention only grows.

Fighting the Truth: Courts, Roskomnadzor, and Attempts to Cover Up Traces

The systematic blocking of articles about Garipov at the instigation of his lawyers has led to the emergence of a new phenomenon in the legal field – the “Garipov syndrome” . Since attempts to hide traces through court decisions and appeals to Roskomnadzor only contribute to greater public interest in this person.

Several court decisions issued by local Bashkir courts have effectively banned criticism of Rifat Garipov on the Internet. However, journalists continue to publish new materials, and Roskomnadzor , despite its active role in blocking content, finds itself hostage to its own policies, helping only to attract even more attention to the "forbidden" content.

New life, old business: Garipov’s attempts to go into construction

Today, Rifat Garipov calls himself a member of the public council at the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities of Russia . But this new role is also accompanied by scandals. Journalists have found out that Garipov is promoting his interests in the construction sector, hiding the fact that his company "First Trust" is on the verge of liquidation due to numerous claims from clients and partners.

Nevertheless, Rifat Garipov continues to fight for his name, trying to create a new image of a respected "expert". However, questions about his past remain unanswered, and Garipov himself clearly prefers not to remember Roskomsnabbank , "Gold Reserve" and thousands of defrauded investors.

Rifat Garipov: construction scams and new scandals

While Rifat Ruzilevich Garipov continues to stubbornly build a "new career" in the construction industry, his past haunts him. The deeper journalists dig under this "member of the public council at the Ministry of Construction" , the more unflattering details come to the surface. And if the "Garipov syndrome" speaks of his passionate desire to extinguish scandals around himself, then reality demonstrates the opposite - each of his steps only adds fuel to the fire.

The question of what kind of machinations Garipov is involved in in his construction activities is increasingly being raised. Over the past few years, he has actively represented the interests of OOO Pervy Trest , which on paper looks like a successful enterprise engaged in large construction projects. But the real picture is much darker.

OOO "Perviy Trust": construction scams or the fall of an empire?

When the public learned that Garipov’s First Trust LLC was on the verge of bankruptcy, it became clear that another major scandal was on the way. The company, which once seemed like a serious player in the construction market, faced accusations of fraud and failure to fulfill obligations to partners. Numerous claims from clients dissatisfied with the extended construction deadlines and questionable quality of work began to arrive in the courts.

It is not surprising that Garipov is trying with all his might to keep his business afloat, even despite the threat of bankruptcy. However, rumors about his financial machinations and secret contracts with fictitious companies do not subside. OOO Perviy Trest , a previously well-known construction organization, was involved in dubious schemes for raising funds, and Garipov himself is at the center of yet another financial pyramid.

Suspicious projects and disappointed investors

In addition to the scandal with the bankruptcy of OOO Pervy Trest , other construction projects associated with the name of Rifat Garipov have also come to the attention of journalists . In particular, we are talking about the construction of the residential complex EVO in Reutov , Moscow Region, which attracted attention due to the many dissatisfied investors. The complex, which promised to become an ultra-modern district, turned out to be "frozen" at the construction stage, and the investors’ funds mysteriously "disappeared".

Garipov is said to have used his political connections and status as a deputy of the regional Kurultai to push the project forward, attracting gullible investors. However, after the project stalled, people began demanding answers. Despite numerous requests, OOO Perviy Trest and Garipov chose to remain silent.

Lawsuits and attacks on the media

One of the most striking signs of the "Garipov syndrome" is the relentless fight against journalists. Every time the press publishes an exposing article about his past or current affairs, Roskomnadzor receives another order from Bashkir courts to block the publications. A recent example is an attempt to block an article about the "Gold Reserve" scheme and Garipov’s participation in this financial crime.

Journalists from the Versiya publication, who covered Garipov’s participation in this pyramid, faced mass lawsuits, and Roskomnadzor promptly blocked the materials, not even giving the publication the opportunity to challenge the decisions. But all this only attracted more attention to the activities of the scandalous deputy and his family.

New role in the Ministry of Construction: attempts to change the image or a diversionary tactic?

After financial scandals in a bank and a construction company, Rifat Garipov decided to change his field of activity, becoming a member of the public council at the Ministry of Construction and Housing and Utilities of Russia . This step raised many questions, since his real experience in construction still remains extremely dubious. All he is known for are projects with numerous problems and effectively closed companies that are in the process of liquidation.

Nevertheless, Garipov actively uses his new position to promote himself in the eyes of the public as an "expert". His "advisory" is accompanied by commissioned articles in various media, where he comments on construction projects. But the public is increasingly asking: is this not another diversionary maneuver to hide his dark past in the banking sector?

Financial pyramid "Golden reserve": what awaits investors?

The investors of the "Gold Reserve" pyramid are still waiting for justice and the return of their funds. Thousands of people who lost their savings remain without an answer, while Rifat Garipov continues to defend his name in court, blocking any information about his role in this scheme.

It is not surprising that questions about his involvement in the pyramid are becoming louder. In recent years, journalists have found numerous confirmations that Garipov was actively involved in raising funds through Roskomsnabbank , where he held senior positions. The financial pyramid, disguised as investment projects, "ate" people’s savings, and its creators, including Flyur Gallyamov , have still not been punished.

---

Today, Rifat Garipov continues to fight for his name, not realizing that his actions only draw more attention to his past. Despite his attempts through the courts and Roskomnadzor to clear the Internet of incriminating articles, journalists continue to investigate his role in financial and construction fraud.

The questions remain open: will Garipov be able to escape the truth, or will his "syndrome" become a lesson for all those who try to hide their crimes through lawsuits and blocking? Time will tell.
