Baysarov Ruslan Boyko Yulia. Ruslan Baysarov
Childhood, education
Ruslan Sulimovich Baysarov was born on August 9, 1968 in the village of Prigorodnoye, Grozny district, Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.
Ruslan Baysarov's father is Sulim Baysarov. The entrepreneur's mother is Kasirat. The biography of Ruslan Baysarov on Wikipedia states that he belongs to one of the most numerous and originally Chechen teips, Khacharoy. It is also known that the Baysarov family had many children.
Although Ruslan Baysarov’s family was not rich, the future businessman already in childhood was distinguished by an enviable entrepreneurial spirit. In an interview, Ruslan Sulimovich said that as a child he made money by selling apples, which he bought from watchmen in state orchards. The scale is small, but the beginning of entrepreneurial activity, one might say, has been made.
After receiving secondary education, Ruslan Baysarov went to Moscow. At that time he was only 16 years old. In the capital in 1985, Ruslan Sulimovich entered the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering, as he later recalled in an interview - at the insistence of his older brother. And then he began a business career, like other enterprising young people during the years of perestroika.
A year later, Baysarov had to take a temporary break from business and education, since two years of military service in the army appeared in his biography. After that, as stated in the biography of Ruslan Baysarov on Wikipedia, he transferred to the Grozny Petroleum Institute named after. Academician M.D. Millionshchikova. The businessman graduated from this higher educational institution in 1996 with a diploma in economic engineering.
But even after becoming a famous entrepreneur and achieving success, Ruslan Baysarov does not stop learning. In 2001, the businessman received a master's degree in sociology from Moscow State University. And more recently, in 2018, Ruslan Sulimovich became a candidate of technical sciences at the National Research Technological University "MISiS". Who knows, perhaps these are not Baysarov’s last academic degrees and he will want to get additional education at one of the reputable universities.
Business career
Russian entrepreneur of Chechen origin Ruslan Baysarov, like many others in the 80s, began his business career with the sale of office equipment, in particular, the sale of computers. In an interview with Vedomosti, Ruslan Baysarov said that at first he sold foreign products, cookies, and candies. “We had a large team: programmers, guys with knowledge of English, who adapted computers for Russian users,” Baysarov recalled the beginning of his business career.
The biography of Ruslan Baysarov on the AiF website notes that the businessman first invested the money he earned in the entertainment sector, opening a beauty salon in the World Trade Center on Krasnopresnenskaya Embankment in Moscow. In fact, it was the beauty salon that became Ruslan Baysarov’s first business project, which he himself repeatedly talked about in interviews.
Wikipedia says that Baisarov opened the first Japanese restaurant in Russia at WTC. There were also
- casino;
- a nightclub that quickly turned into one of the most fashionable places in Moscow at that time;
- parking.
Ruslan's partners were the famous director Fyodor Bondarchuk and actor Stepan Mikhalkov, with whom he created the Infant Silver company in 1997. By the way, Baysarov carried his friendship with Bondarchuk through the years. Together, the businessman and the director were engaged in charitable projects, which will be discussed later.

Despite the successes in the entertainment business with WTC, after some time the entrepreneur decided to change his field of activity to a more reputable one. It was then that the specialized oil business appeared in the biography of Ruslan Baysarov (let us recall that he was educated at the Oil Institute in Grozny).
The entrepreneur also began to rapidly gain positions in this area. Already in the late 90s, Baysarov’s company “Infant” increased refining volumes at the Moscow Oil Refinery to an impressive 1.5 million tons. The biography of the businessman on Dni.ru says that among the clients of Ruslan Baysarov’s company there were not only two thousand gas stations in Russia, but also government agencies and various other organizations.
This success did not go unnoticed and led to the fact that soon after entering the oil business, Ruslan Sulimovich Baysarov became vice-president of the Moscow Fuel Association, which included about 50 organizations that together controlled 75% of the Moscow fuel market. Apparently, organizational activity also turned out to be suitable for a businessman, because at the same time the position of member of the board of directors of the Russian Fuel Union (RTS) appeared in the biography of Ruslan Baysarov.
The entrepreneur's further track record inspires respect. In 2001, Ruslan Sulimovich became vice-president of the Moscow Oil Company, then his biography included similar posts in such enterprises as the Central Fuel Company and the Moscow Oil and Gas Company. In 2007, the position of first vice-president of MNGK appeared in Ruslan Baysarov’s career.
Baysarov’s effectiveness as an entrepreneur can be easily judged by the transactions that were covered in economic news. For example, in 2008, Ruslan Sulimovich Baysarov acquired part of the assets of Sibir Energy. At that time, the company owned a stake in the Moscow Refinery and a network of 134 gas stations in the capital and region. Just two years later, his share was bought by Gazprom Neft, valuing it at a round sum of $740 million, notes Wikipedia. Buying an asset on time and selling it no less on time is, perhaps, a talent not inherent in every businessman.
Since 2011, a new and, perhaps, the most intense stage in the biography of Ruslan Baysarov began - he took the post of general director of the Tuvan Energy Industrial Corporation CJSC, or, as they say in abbreviated form, TEPK. Thus, Baysarov took a not-so-obvious step and switched from oil to coal, but this turned out to be a justified decision and allowed the businessman to reach a new level. In 2013, the company acquired a license to develop the largest Elegest coal deposit in Tuva. The reserves of this deposit are estimated at 855 million tons.

At the same time, TEPK not only extracts raw materials in the region, but is also actively involved in the development of adjacent infrastructure, investing in long-term projects. It is planned that in the Republic of Tyva will be built
- railway line Elegest - Kyzyl - Kuragino, length 410 km;
- mining and processing plant with a capacity of 15 tons per year;
- a coal port terminal of similar capacity in the Khabarovsk Territory, also included in the complex project.
All these facilities, according to preliminary estimates, can be put into operation in 2023.
The work is progressing quite quickly, so the deadlines look quite realistic. Thus, in 2018, TEPK Kyzyl-Kuragino JSC was created, headed by Ruslan Baysarov. In the same year, the Federal Agency for Railway Transport entered into a concession agreement with this company for the financing, creation and operation of public railway transport infrastructure facilities on the Elegest-Kyzyl-Kuragino railway line.
The Ministry of Economic Development already calls this transport project one of the largest in the region and hopes that it will help to significantly increase its attractiveness and improve the economy. Once the railway reaches its design capacity, it will be possible to transport more than 15 million tons of cargo per year.
Perhaps this work pushed the businessman to start a construction business in addition to the energy sector. In 2015, Ruslan Baysarov acquired shares of a large construction concern - the SK Most Group of Companies. In 2016, Baysarov’s share in this group of companies was 56%, he became the chairman of the board of directors of USK Most JSC.

The group's companies are engaged in various construction projects, often of a high level of complexity and strategic importance for the country. Thus, they currently have such an impressive list of federal-level projects to their credit, such as
- laying the Second Baikal Tunnel as part of the modernization of the BAM and Trans-Siberian Railways;
- construction of trans-border bridges across the Amur “Nizhneleninskoye - Tongjiang” and “Blagoveshchensk - Heihe”, which will connect Russia with China;
- re-equipment of the Sakhalin railway gauge to the all-Russian standard (yes, its width still differs from the standard 1520 mm);
- construction of facilities at the Arctic sea port "Sabetta" as part of the Yamal LNG project and others.

By the way, divisions of the SK Most Group of Companies are also working in the capital - they are engaged in the expansion of the Moscow Metro, new stations of which have been actively built in recent years.
To understand the scale of construction, it is enough to say that only within the framework of the construction of seaport facilities in the area of the village of Sabetta, the total volume of dredging work amounted to about 70 million cubic meters. m. But as a result, this port on Yamal will ensure year-round navigation of gas carriers and their passage along the Northern Sea Route, which, in turn, will expand the export of Russian liquefied gas.
In addition, for several years now, GC SK Most has been performing the functions of a general contractor at the facilities of Russian Railways OJSC and has been carrying out construction and repair work on 13 of 17 railways. First of all, the company deals with bridges - if you had to travel by train across the Volga, Kama, Oka, Samara, Vyatka, Don and other rivers, most likely the divisions of the SK Most Group of Companies are responsible for their condition and uninterrupted operation. By the way, uninterrupted in the literal sense of the word - modern technologies of the enterprise allow repair work to be carried out without stopping traffic.

Personal life of Ruslan Baysarov
Ruslan Baysarov is married and has six children. The businessman’s first wife was model Tatyana Kovtun, with whom Baysarov’s eldest daughter, Kamila, was born in 1993.
In 1997, the businessman met Kristina Orbakaite, who, as hardly anyone in our country knows, is the daughter of Alla Pugacheva. At that time, Christina was already a famous singer. This marriage was not formalized, but the couple entered into a union according to the canons of Islam in a Moscow mosque. In 1998, the couple had a son, Denis. In 2003, the couple separated, but after a number of contradictions they managed to reach an amicable agreement on custody of their son.
In 2003, Ruslan Baysarov and Modus Vivendis agency model Alina Tsevina had another son, Ilman. And in 2005, as stated in the biography on Wikipedia, Ruslan gave birth to a girl from a girl named Yulia, who was named with the beautiful name Dali.
In 2009, Ruslan Baysarov married Madina Gaytaeva, who bore him two more sons - Amir and Amin. The marriage was officially registered in the village of Veduchi, Itum-Kalinsky district of the Chechen Republic. As reported in the news, Madina graduated from the Faculty of Economics and Finance of the Chechen State University. The girl’s mother worked as a teacher of Russian language and literature at school, and her father is the former head of the local administration of the Oktyabrsky district.
Income, charity
Ruslan Baysarov is involved in charity work. In 2009, as part of the “Good Event” charity dinner, he purchased the female role in his friend Fyodor Bondarchuk’s film “Stalingrad” for 200,000 euros - the amount became the largest in the auction, which was hosted by Andrei Malakhov and Nikolai Baskov.
Bondarchuk responded by buying a three-day hunting tour to the mountains of Chechnya, offered by Baysarov, for 10 thousand euros.
As the news wrote, the role was eventually given to a young talented actress. In total, 600 thousand euros were raised during the charity dinner. The money went to the treatment of children with cancer.
The biography of the famous entrepreneur Ruslan Baysarov too often comes down to that tiny part that is interesting to the yellow press. Meanwhile, the importance of this person in today's Russia is difficult to overestimate.
Considering that the general public is extremely willing to receive news from the lives of stars, Chechen entrepreneur Ruslan Baysarov is perceived by the public primarily as the former son-in-law of Alla Pugacheva and the father of the girls’ idol Denis Baysarov. Meanwhile, Ruslan Sulimovich himself is a very extraordinary figure, and his biography deserves a serious conversation, and not just mentions in gossip columns.
Childhood and stars
Baysarov Ruslan Sulimovich was born on August 9, 1968 in an ordinary large Chechen family of the Khacharoi teip. The boy differed from his peers in his energy and enterprise: “As long as I can remember, I have been making money all my life,” he recalls about selling apples in childhood. However, his first commercial projects did not prevent him from finishing school well and at the age of 17 coming to conquer the capital - enrolling in the Moscow Institute of Civil Engineering. But in those years, even full-time students were drafted, so Ruslan Baysarov spent two years in the army, and then decided to continue his studies closer to his native mountains - at the Grozny Oil Institute. Moscow knowledge also turned out to be useful - although in his student years Baysarov, like many then, began by trading computers, throughout his adult life he will be involved in oil and construction.
Despite the fact that the situation in the republic at that time was not conducive to academic studies, and in Moscow it was much safer, Ruslan Baysarov graduated from the Grozny Institute. Afterwards, in the capital, Baysarov opened a salon in the World Trade Center, then, together with Fyodor Bondarchuk, he became the owner of a nightclub, in general, he was at the center of Moscow social life. One of the main stars of the then capital, Kristina Orbakaite, daughter of Alla Pugacheva, could not resist the charms of this Chechen youth. Many were amazed then that the famous wife of Ruslan Baysarov agreed to formalize the relationship according to the Muslim rite. A year later, their son Denis was born, and although the marriage did not turn out to be strong, the boy grew up in an atmosphere of love. Now, at 21, he has become one of the most popular young people on Russian social networks. He probably has an enviable artistic future ahead of him, although it is possible that he will show interest in continuing his father’s work.
Finishing the topic of personal life, let’s say that Ruslan Baysarov later married a Chechen girl Madina Gaytaeva, everything is fine with them, they are raising their two sons, and in total the businessman has six children, and he takes an active part in the destinies of all six.
Oil and construction
Directors, fashion designers and singers are, of course, interesting and fun, but a man must do the real thing. At the turn of the century, Ruslan Baysarov went into the oil business:
- founded the oil refining company "Infant",
- was elected vice-president of the Moscow Fuel Association,
- in 2001 he became vice-president of the Moscow Oil Company,
- later – “Moscow Oil and Gas Company”,
- even later - the Central Fuel Company.
Having accumulated vast experience in top management, in 2011 he founded the Tuvan Energy Industrial Corporation (TEC) - his first truly large project as an owner. And in 2015-16, Ruslan Baysarov acquired a controlling stake in the Most group of construction companies (GC SK Most), which is now associated with his name in business circles.
Infrastructure tasks of the Bridge
GC SK Most is now participating in the largest infrastructure projects in Russia - after all, it’s not for nothing that the head of the holding began to study as a builder. If you are not very interested in construction projects in remote corners, you can simply skip the next few paragraphs - it is enough to understand that any development of our economy becomes possible thanks to the work of strong people in harsh conditions:
- One of the most famous projects of Ruslan Baysarov is a bridge between the village of Nizhneleninskoye in the Jewish Autonomous Region and the city of Tongjiang in China. For a second, the first ever crossing for trains across the border Amur River, the estimated load is 21 million tons of cargo per year, two and a half thousand tons per hour! The simpler and cheaper the exchange of goods with China is, the easier it will be for our entire country to diversify export flows, which is extremely important in the current circumstances.
- The reconstruction of the BAM continues - older readers probably remember this great Komsomol construction project, which at first was the work of the whole country, then an object of ridicule for the enthusiasm of the fathers, and now - a vital artery between the center of the country and its east (if you think that the center is Moscow , look at the map). GC SK Most Ruslan Baysarov has built the Second Baikal Tunnel, the opening of which for trains is expected in the coming winter.
- Ruslan Baysarov’s employees are busy with an unusual project in the Far East - expanding the gauge of the Sakhalin railway from the dwarf 1067 mm to the generally accepted 1520 mm in Russia. This will facilitate the delivery of goods across the legendary island, which means it will lead to an increase in trade turnover and, as a result, an increase in tax collection.
The first rails of Tuva
Passenger railways are practically not built in Russia - on the contrary, from time to time they “mothball” existing sections and reduce the number of trains. Now it is no longer possible to travel by commuter trains either from Murmansk to Sochi or from Moscow to Khabarovsk. And only Ruslan Baysarov is swimming against this current - the above-mentioned TEPK is now working on the country’s largest railway project - the 410-kilometer Elegest-Kyzyl-Kuragino highway in Tuva. Probably, not many readers will immediately show Tyva on the map - this republic is in 21st place in area among the regions of Russia, but only in 78th in population, and its gross regional product reaches 15 thousand rubles per person per month. The republic's infrastructure has significant potential for development: air traffic with Moscow appeared four years ago, and there are no railways at all. At the same time, the republic is rich in mineral raw materials, it can extract it, but the cost of delivering what is mined to buyers exceeds all reasonable figures. This problem is what the new railway is designed to solve. It will connect Tyva with the unified railway network of Russia and allow mining enterprises to finally breathe deeply.
Thanks to this, after the route is put into operation, the republic will gain 15 thousand new jobs, that is, almost 5% of the population of Tuva will receive stable, well-paid work. This is exactly how Russia’s true greatness is forged, not through sporting achievements and political squabbles.
Serbia and the Amur again
Let's briefly talk about other significant areas of work of Ruslan Baysarov and his SK Most Group of Companies and the companies included in this structure.
Another interesting project is the construction of a giant railway viaduct in Serbia. This country, although it is eager to join the European Union, still remains our closest European ally, and the assistance of a Russian enterprise in the construction of railway facilities for the high-speed route between Belgrade and Budapest will certainly not go unnoticed. At the moment, the project entrusted to Stroy-Trust by Ruslan Baysarov is one of the largest in Europe.
And in the spring of 2020, we are waiting for the ceremonial commissioning of the famous “Friendship Bridge” Blagoveshchensk - Heihe between Russia and China across the Amur River. This bridge will undoubtedly significantly revive the economy of the Amur region, simplify and reduce the cost of trade - it is not surprising that local residents are literally counting the days until the opening of traffic.
The successes of Ruslan Baysarov are not only his merit
It is clear that any business of this scale is not the merit of one person, but a complex of efforts of thousands, or even tens of thousands of specialists of various profiles and levels. And yet, as a rule, it takes one directing hand, one strong will, for all these people to organize for the accomplishment of gigantic tasks. Then tunnels, bridges, and railways appear in different parts of Russia, and then destruction and desolation are replaced by creation and prosperity.
Ruslan Baysarov is still quite young, he is 51 years old, most of the projects we have listed have been completed or are approaching completion, so in the foreseeable future we can expect big news from the SK Most Group of Companies - what other half-forgotten places will transport and civilization come to? Russia is big, you can explore it endlessly.

In 1998, the young couple had a son, who received citizenship of Lithuania and Russia. In the early 2000s, the relationship between Christina and Ruslan went wrong.

State
Businessmen Jack Ma and Ruslan Baysarov (photo from the personal archive of Ruslan Baysarov) Ruslan Baysarov is recognized as the wealthiest representative of the Chechen diaspora in Russia. Currently, according to Forbes magazine, Ruslan Baysarov is included in the list of the two hundred richest businessmen in Russia. In 2018, his fortune was estimated at $900 million (118th place).
The biography of the life of the famous Russian businessman Ruslan Baysarov, originally from the Chechen Republic, contains many unexpected twists. His extraordinary personality and character qualities allowed him to become not only a successful and wealthy top manager, but also to maintain good relationships with those with whom he began his formation. For example, director Fyodor Bondarchuk admitted that he considers Baysarov the best friend of his youth.
The biography of the future successful entrepreneur began like that of any ordinary resident of the country. Ruslan Sulimovich Baysarov was born in August 1968 in the Chechen village of Prigorodnoye. By origin, he is a Chechen from one of the most respected clans in the republic - the Khacharoi. The parents of the future Forbes list participant did not have excess funds.
The family was large, but friendly. Father Sulim and mother Kasirat raised all their children according to the traditions of the Chechen people. From childhood, Sulim and his wife instilled in their children a love of work, responsibility for their actions, honor and respect for elders. Children helped their parents from childhood. Ruslan grew up as an active, savvy boy. In companies of friends he was an unspoken leader. Since childhood, I’ve been accustomed to earning “my little penny.” In one of his interviews, Baysarov told how he sold apples to earn money.
Education
After studying at his native school for ten years, the guy decided to enter a Moscow university, which he succeeded the first time. I failed to graduate from the Institute of Civil Engineering and was drafted into the armed forces. Having served the required term, he decided not to finish his studies at the previous university and was re-enrolled in the Oil Institute in his homeland, in the city of Grozny. And only in 1996, a certified engineer-economist, Baysarov returned back to Moscow.
It was during my student years that my innate entrepreneurial acumen strengthened. Ruslan Baysarov began selling computers brought from abroad. This activity helped me earn my first big money and became a kind of prerequisite for future activities. After Baisarov, Ruslan enters Moscow University. A couple of years later he completed his studies there with a master's degree in sociology.
In 2018, as a result of successfully defending his research work at MISiS University, Ruslan Sulimovich Baysarov was awarded a candidate's degree in technical sciences.
Career of Ruslan Baysarov
Ruslan Baysarov took his first steps in the field of entrepreneurship in 1997: using the money he earned from selling office equipment adapted for the Russian market, he founded a beauty salon. At the same time, a nightclub, a casino, the first restaurant in the capital with delicacies from the land of the rising sun, and a parking lot were established. The company, called Infant Silver, was founded in partnership with Fyodor Bondarchuk, who is still a close friend of Baysarov, and with the son of director Nikita Mikhalkov, Stepan Mikhalkov. The location of the establishments in the central part of the capital and their competent promotion made it possible to receive good income.
