Connections/Partners
Under Gutseriev, Slavneft set a course for a significant increase in oil production, expansion of its own network of gas stations and strengthening its position in the Belarusian market. Mikhail Safarbekovich also used his connections in Arab countries, which he developed during the Duma years. After all, according to some information, his acquaintances allegedly included even Saddam Hussein And Muammar Gaddafi. But one of Gutseriev’s main tasks was to prepare the company for privatization, in which Abramovich’s Sibneft and the Tyumen Oil Company (TNK), owned by Alfa Group, were to participate. Mikhail Fridman and Renova Victor Vekselberg.
But Mikhail Safarbekovich did not want to be a mere extra in this game, and when TNK began actively buying up Slavneft shares, Gutseriev did not allow Tyumen residents to join the company’s board of directors. A real corporate war began, which in 2001 led to an agreement to create a trust into which all purchased shares of Slavneft were transferred. Equal shares in it were received by TNK, Gutseriev, Abramovich and Oleg Deripaska. They were going to privatize the company.
In 2002, elections for the head of Ingushetia were supposed to take place. One of the main contenders for this post was Mikhail Gutseriev’s older brother Khamzat, who was previously the Minister of Internal Affairs of the republic. The candidacy of Khamzat Safarbekovich was approved by the then Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov. But the then head of the FSB Nikolay Patrushev, who saw his former subordinate at the head of the republic Murata Zyazikova, strongly recommended that Gutseriev dissuade his brother from ambitious plans. Mikhail Safarbekovich resisted Patrushev’s pressure, as a result of which he lost his position as head of Slavneft. His departure from the company lasted for several months; the main building of Slavneft on Pyatnitskaya Street was stormed, either by Gutsiriev’s supporters or by Abramovich’s associates. But in the end, even an attempt to enlist help from an influential banker at that time did not help Mikhail Safarbekovich Sergei Pugachev.
After Gutseriev left Sibneft and TNK, they bought out his share in the trust. At the same time, they insisted that he take over Varyeganneft for $200 million, which had previously been absorbed by Slavneft through the efforts of Mikhail Safarbekovich. “Varyeganneft” served as the basis for the Caucasian businessman’s new company, which he called “Russneft”. The company was able to develop due to investments from the international trader Glencore, which invested $300 million in Russneft and received 49% of the company in return. Another creditor was Sberbank, which allocated $1 billion for business expansion. Mikhail Safarbekovich began buying oil wells, primarily from Suleiman Kerimov. New assets were even bought from Boris Berezovsky, who was winding down his business in Russia.
Around the same time, Gutseriev’s business in the capital’s real estate market was also developing. The industrial and financial company BIN, which at that time was headed by Gutseriev’s brother Sait, acquired Mosstroyekonombank, Smolensky Passage, Petrovsky Passage, the Sadko Hotel company, which owns the rights to reconstruct the Leningradskaya Hotel, and other construction companies and objects. Mikhail Safarbekovich himself distinguished himself in 2004 by participating in negotiations with terrorists in Beslan. He then managed to persuade the terrorists to allow a car with employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations to approach the doors of the seized school.
RussNeft continued to develop. Around the same time, the oil company Yukos went bankrupt, which was actively absorbed by Rosneft. Gutseriev for a long time did not try to get involved in the fight for YUKOS assets, since she knew the history of its owners well. But the oil market became increasingly static and there was almost no room left for expansion. Mikhail Safarbekovich increasingly began to climb into the “Rosneft clearing”. Igor Sechin, who at that time was the Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Rosneft, personally controlled the redistribution of Yukos oil assets and remained extremely dissatisfied with such activity of Gutseriev. In addition, he wanted Russneft to also be transferred to Rosneft.
There were rumors that Igor Ivanovich contributed to the fact that information came to Vladimir Putin’s desk that Gutseriev supported structures associated with illegal armed groups in the Caucasus, and Vladimir Vladimirovich, who paid special attention to maintaining stability in the North Caucasus, reacted sharply negatively to this information. According to some reports, the campaign against Mikhail Safarbekovich was organized, in addition to Sechin, by Patrushev and the then assistant to the President Victor Ivanov. As a result, about 70 criminal cases were initiated against Gutseriev and the top managers of Russneft. They were accused of violating license agreements during oil production and evading taxes in particular large size.
In July 2007, Gutseriev voluntarily resigned as president of RussNeft, but before that, he finally tried to annoy his enemy Sechin. To do this, he decided to sell the company to Deripaska’s structures, who also did not have the best relationship with the all-powerful official. True, Deripaska had problems, since in connection with the trials surrounding Rosneft, the company’s assets were seized, and later the antimonopoly service did not allow the deal.
Having got rid of the company, Mikhail Safarbekovich headed to London. But his nephew’s business still remained in Moscow Mikhail Shishkhanov and younger brother Sait. In order to protect them, Gutseriev announced that he was completely ending his entrepreneurial activities. Shishkhanov temporarily placed his B&N Bank assets in the hands of a senator from Belgorod region, owner of Rusagro Vadim Moshkovich, and then returned them to himself. Gutseriev himself, having left for London, continued to sell his business. In particular, he sold the Moscow network of gas stations to Lukoil.
But even in a foreign land, the disgraced businessman continued to feel pressure on himself. The most difficult test for him was the death of his son in Moscow, when, due to criminal prosecution, he could not personally fly to Russia and understand what had happened. 21-year-old Chingiskhan Gutseriev died as a result of an accident and, as the examination showed, it was an accident. However, Mikhail Safarbekovich was tormented by the darkest suspicions. He said goodbye to his son in Baku.
Gutseriev himself was arrested in absentia in August 2007 and was put on the international wanted list. There were rumors that the ex-head of the oil company had applied to the British authorities for political asylum. In a foreign land, Mikhail Safarbekovich resumed his entrepreneurial activities. When did he become President of Russia? Dmitry Medvedev, he had hope of returning. According to some reports, not only Gutseriev himself, but also the head of Ingushetia made such a request to Dmitry Anatolyevich Yunus-Bek Evkurov.
And indeed, Mikhail Safarbekovich’s affairs gradually began to improve. In October 2009, the preventive measure against Gutseriev was unexpectedly changed from arrest in absentia to a written undertaking not to leave the place, as a result of which the international arrest warrant was revoked. At the same time, the lawyer of the fugitive oligarch stated that her client was acquitted of all charges brought against him. But that was not the case. Only the charge of large-scale tax evasion against him was dropped, while the charge of illegal business was retained. And yet, in April 2010, the last charge against Mikhail Safarbekovich was dropped.
Before this, it became known that Deripaska’s representatives returned 100 percent of the shares of RussNeft to Gutseriev’s control, for which the Ingush businessman paid $600 million. Very soon, a new board of directors was formed in the company, which included Mikhail Safarbekovich himself. A few months after this transaction, Gutseriev sold 49 percent of the shares of AFK Sistema and two percent to Sberbank, but already in 2013 he owned 100% of the company’s shares. The businessman returned to Russia on May 7, 2010, arriving on a charter flight to the Ingush Magas airport.
The rehabilitated entrepreneur again launched his activities in Russia, and he often topped various business ratings. In 2011, Gutserieva and her nephew Shishkhanov bought a Moscow shopping mall“Kaluzhsky”, the transaction amount was called from 150 to 230 million dollars. Subsequently, Mikhail Safarbekovich, who always had a craving for pop creativity and even wrote songs himself, turned his attention to media and show business. In 2012, he acquired the radio station “Prosto Radio” and “Good Songs” from co-owner of the National Reserve Corporation Alexander Lebedev. Later, he also acquired 75% of the shares of the Krutoy Media holding, which included Love Radio, Radio Dacha and Taxi FM. In addition, he owned Vesna FM and Vostok FM. Then he acquired “Finam FM” and “Ru.FM”, on the site of which the radio station “Moscow Speaks” was later created, where Sergei Dorenko was invited as editor-in-chief. And in 2015, Mikhail Safarbekovich became the owner of Radio Chanson.
Gutseriev was also doing well in show business. From his youth he wrote poetry, and now, using his influence on the stage, he began to offer his work to various famous performers who simply could not refuse such tempting offers. In particular, such singers as Joseph Kobzon, Laima Vaikule, Nikolai Baskov, Sofia Rotaru, Grigory Leps, Valeria, Stas Mikhailov, Kristina Orbakaite, Philip Kirkorov, Maxim Pokrovsky, Stas Piekha, Alla Pugacheva and many other popular performers performed his songs . His songs became laureates of the Song of the Year festival in 2012 and 2014, and Mikhail Safarbekovich himself became the best poet of the year for two years in a row.
Said Gutseriev is the main heir of the owner of the RussNeft and BIN companies, billionaire Mikhail Safarbekovich. He is the General Director of the ForteInvest Corporation and one of the main shareholders of the European Pension Fund.
In 2015, from Ingushetia, he began to manage his father’s million-dollar empire.

Biography of Said Gutseriev
The famous heir was born on April 18, 1988 in the Russian capital. As soon as the boy grew up, his influential father immediately sent him abroad. There Said graduated from one of the most prestigious English private schools - Harrow, located in Great Britain and Ireland.

The next stage was studying at the University of Plymouth, where the guy mastered the oil and gas business in the management department.
The beginning of the way
In England, Said received a position in the financial department of the Swiss trading firm Glencore.

According to Gutseriev himself, in this company he earned approximately 40 thousand euros per year, and this does not take into account bonuses.
At the end of 2014, after seventeen years of living in the UK, Said returned to his homeland. Here he immediately took up the post of general director of his father's company ForteInvest. At the same time, he became a member of the board of directors of several more companies of the elder Gutseriev. So, Said became a member of the management of Russian Coal, Neftis and Russneft.
In the autumn of the same year, Gutseriev bought part of the shares in the Daglis company in the amount of 40%. The firm owned 70% of the assets of a private pension fund called Regionfond. Together with Said, his cousin, who is also the head of the board of directors of BinBank, acquired the same share of the company’s shares.
Further activities

Gutseriev clan
The Gutseriev family today is rightfully considered the richest in Russia. This fact is confirmed by the rating of the famous Forbes magazine. Said's father is a famous businessman, doctor of economic sciences, as well as a poet and composer. The head of the family's fortune is estimated at $9.9 billion.

The youngest daughter of Mikhail Safarbekovich, Sofia, is today considered one of the most enviable brides in Russia. The girl graduated from Moscow State University and holds the post of deputy director in one of her father’s shopping centers.
Wedding of the heir to billions
The wedding of Said Gutseriev became perhaps the most discussed event of March 2016. On March 26, an event took place in a Moscow restaurant called “Safisa,” the scope of which could amaze even the most sophisticated layman.
At 29 years old, the son of Mikhail Safarbekovich is considered one of the most successful entrepreneurs in Russia. There are rumors that a suitable match for the heir to a multimillion-dollar empire has been sought for several years. After all, a guy’s wife had to meet certain requirements: an Ingush who respects national beliefs and traditions. The future wife of Said Gutseriev was found at one of the Moscow universities. The chosen one of the accomplished businessman was the beautiful Khadija Uzhakhova, who was barely 20 years old.
At the celebration, the girl shone in a truly incredible dress, custom-made in France by the hands of Elie Saab himself. The bride's outfit weighed almost 25 kilograms due to the huge number of small stones with which it was decorated. As you know, the dress cost the groom as much as 27 million rubles.
Guests of the banquet were entertained by world famous stars: Patricia Kaas, Enrique Iglesias, Sting, Elton John, Jennifer Lopez and Beyoncé. Alla Pugacheva also appeared on stage to perform several songs from her repertoire and personally congratulate the newlyweds. And the guests celebrated the second day of the wedding abroad - in the London mansion of the Gutserievs.
A few words about the bride
The family of Gutseriev’s current wife prefers to remain in the shadows - there is almost no information about her. The girl is a twenty-year-old native of Ingushetia, a future dentist. Khadija studies at the Evdokimov Medical and Dental University in the capital. The girl was born into an ordinary family; she has no rich relatives. Uzhakhova’s family lived all their lives in their native republic.
The girl herself is extremely beautiful, smart, modest and educated. In addition, she is not spoiled at all and does an excellent job with housework. The newlyweds met on the initiative of the groom's parents in the capital a year before their own wedding. If you believe numerous gossips, Said fell in love with his future wife literally at first sight, especially since she fully met all his requirements. Well, those who believe that Said Gutseriev divorced his newly-made wife should know that the couple in love still lives in a happy marriage.
