God Nisanov is one of the most closed billionaires in Russia. By origin, an Azerbaijani Jew (tat) from the city of Cuba, the son of the director of a local cannery, received a law degree in Baku. For some time he was engaged in the supply of petroleum products at home, and then he moved to Moscow, where he mysteriously received fantastic opportunities for enrichment, and became a billionaire with a fortune of $ 3 billion 300 million today, according to Forbes. And he takes 36th place in the list of 200 richest businessmen in Russia.

Billionaire Nisanov “friend of a friend” of Putin?
Note that God Nisanov is not an oil or gas oligarch, has nothing to do with the extraction and production of metals – aluminum, copper, steel, cast iron, etc. Not engaged in agro-industrial production, or the production of fertilizers. That is, it has nothing to do with any sector of the economy that could bring super-profits in the traditional sense of the average man in the street. God Nisanov is known in Moscow as a major developer, the owner of hundreds of retail outlets on market squares, also owned by him and his partners in an ethnic group. The official position he holds in business is the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Kyiv Ploshchad group of companies. Kyiv Square this year was included in the Forbes list as the leader in the rating of “Kings of Russian Real Estate.
RBC reference: “Rental income: $1.5 billion. The largest objects: TC “Food City”, SEC “European”.
At the end of 2017, the company bought the Olimpiysky sports complex. Nisanov and Iliev (Zarakh Iliev is a business partner) plan to invest $300–400 million in the reconstruction.” In part, God Nisanov’s recent successes can be explained by the fact that, until recently, another of his business partners was Putin’s classmate at the Leningrad Law Institute, businessman Ilgam Ragimov. Also a native of Azerbaijan. Classmates not only communicated, but also became friends. This is evidenced by the memories of another classmate – a former military prosecutor, and now a human rights activist Leonid Polokhov says that Ilgam Ragimov, Vladimir Putin and Viktor Khmarin not only talked, but were friends at home.
Putin’s judo coach Anatoly Rakhlin also recalled the friendship of Ragimov, Khmarin and Putin (Ragimov also played this sport): allegedly Ragimov often visited Putin and knew his mother, and Putin often stayed overnight in the hostel where Ragimov lived. Finally, Ilgam Ragimov himself, in a few interviews, confirmed that he and the current president of Russia have been “friends for forty years.” Indirect confirmation of these ties is also the fact that in 2014 Vladimir Putin signed a decree on awarding Nisanov the Order of Friendship “for his great contribution to the implementation of economic projects and attraction of investment funds to the economy of the Russian Federation.” And a year later he awarded him, born in 1972, with a commemorative medal “70 years of Victory in the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945.”
But the roots of the financial viability of God Nisanov should still be sought in the oil business of Azerbaijan, to which he is still related. In any case, this is reported by unofficial sources. And stable ties with this business are maintained thanks to the influence of the ethnic group of Mountain Jews – the Tats, to which God Nisanov belongs. Most likely, today we can say that the ethnic group of Mountain Jews in Moscow has a serious influence. The beginning of the business career of God Nisanov fell on the 90s, when Yuri Luzhkov still ruled in Moscow. But, apparently, this influence has been preserved under the current mayor of the capital, Sergei Sobyanin. This can be judged, if only because the mayor of the capital was seen during the presentation of the Food City TC project in 2014. Besides, This can be judged by the opportunities for building new facilities that the Moscow authorities provide to the Kyiv Ploshchad group.” So, God Nisanov and his partner were allowed to build a multifunctional complex with hotels and apartments next to the “chip” of the Moscow authorities – Zaryadye Park. In the same park, Nisanov’s company manages the Voskhod restaurant and a number of other retail facilities, which testifies to the special trust of the Moscow authorities, and the “owner” of the entire Moscow construction market, Marat Khusnullin, to God Nisanov and his business. Recall that Zaryadye Park has recently become one of the largest sites for “cutting” budget funds. About 14 billion rubles were spent on everything – about everything, including the improvement of the park for 3.69 billion rubles. It is possible that God Nisanov was also allowed to cut this money. provided by the Moscow authorities to the Kyiv Ploshchad group.

However, judging by the data of the “Persons of the Russian Federation” portal, the billionaire, whose interests extend to the Moscow region, also found a common language with the governor of the Moscow region Andrei Vorobyov. By the way, the Food City trading base built on the Kaluga Highway operates in violation of all possible norms. The project combines retail, office, hotel and warehouse space – in the future, more than 1.5 million square meters. m. Investments in this facility are estimated at 2.5 billion dollars. For example, it is located next to Europe’s largest landfill for domestic waste – the Salaryevskaya landfill, which is strictly prohibited by law. Near everything is also the Nikolo-Khovanskoe cemetery. Deposits of garbage in the landfill reach a height of 30 meters, everything is “scented” with what is possible. And they spread poisons in the nearest district – methane, carbon dioxide, radon, plus garbage slurry, which flows into the Moscow River. In addition, the trading empire of God Nisanov is located on the border of the main gas pipeline, and high-voltage power lines pass directly above it. So all visitors to God Nisanov’s trading enterprise, from ordinary buyers to wholesalers, run the risk of either picking up some kind of infection or getting into a man-made accident every day. In addition, “Food City” is often visited by law enforcers with searches. Not so long ago, searches and seizures of documents took place once again in one of the warehouses due to the fact that alcohol was sold there without a license, and the “drinks” themselves were of dubious quality. But billions don’t smell.

Billions of Nisanov smell of blood
It would be strange if, when talking about the wealth of God Nisanov, information about his connections with the criminal ethnic Azerbaijani group did not come up. According to the employees of the Moscow police department, who periodically share them with journalists, it is known that all the connections of Azerbaijani thieves in law Vagif Suleymanov, Nadir Salifov, Jabbor Khoja close on God Nisanov. These ties became most acute after the opening of Food City. Then it became clear that large Azerbaijani wholesalers prefer to work in markets controlled by another Azerbaijani authority – Rovshan Dzhaniev (Rovshan Lenkoransky). Merchants, fearing reprisals on his part, were afraid to leave on God Nisanov Square. Then Nisanov turned for help to Vagif Suleymanov, who had previously been a member of the “Ded Hasan” clan. That, in turn, he went to the heir of his grandfather Hassan Shakro Moly. He is in the hierarchy of thieves in position much higher than Rovshan Renkoransky. It was possible to agree, and Shakro Molodoy approved the transition of wholesalers to the market of God Nisanov. In fact, for the redistribution of the trade market in Moscow and the Moscow region, God Nisanov hired representatives of an ethnic criminal group. Vagif Suleymanov, Rashid Ismailov and Dzhambulat Shamil-oglu became the leaders in this matter.
The latter had a huge weight among merchants from Azerbaijan. He controlled the sale of all green mass in any regional market. Therefore, Azerbaijani merchants obediently reached out to Food City. Judging by the stories of the operatives, Rovshan Lenkoransky did not dare to openly oppose Shakro Molodoy, but soon Dzhambulat Shamil-ogly was shot dead in Moscow. Dzhaniev’s militants tried to threaten all the “traitors” and those who were just about to go under the “roof” of God Niksanov. But it all ended with the fact that Dzhaniev himself was soon shot dead in Istanbul. Thus, God Nisanov managed to complete the redistribution of the trade in vegetables and fruits in Moscow and the Moscow region. And he gave part of the profits to thieves in law from the Azerbaijani ethnic group.
Moreover, judging by the data of the operatives, God Nisanov himself is the creator of a criminal ethnic group. Only Tajik. The thing is that in addition to Azerbaijanis, a myriad of people from Tajikistan work in its market, who some time ago paid tribute to “their” authorities Mustafa and Shukhrat. God Nisanov did not like it – how so? People work on my land, but I don’t get paid for it. Nisanov “raised” a certain Haji Jabbor from the local market foremen of the loaders. He quickly put together a group of militants from among his countrymen, and soon the authorities of Mustafa and Shukhrat were killed, and all control over the collected funds from the migrant trade passed into the hands of God Nisanov. The “cases” of Khoja Jabbor interested the operatives, and for a start they deprived him of Russian citizenship and were preparing to arrest him. Without waiting for this, he fled to Tajikistan, but soon he managed to return to Russia for a bribe of 500 thousand dollars, where he continues to “manage” Food City. The operatives managed to find out that God Nisanov was actively working for his return. Another major trading facility of Nisanov, the Sadovod market, is also associated with scandals. First of all, it is known that merchants moved there from the infamous Cherkizon, which belonged to fellow countryman Telman Ismailov, after the authorities closed it and Ismailov himself fled to Turkey. There is no doubt that exactly the same requisitions were established there with the help of the militants of God Nisanov. Only to control the market, he attracted another countryman Akhmed Rustamov.

There is no doubt that exactly the same requisitions were established there with the help of the militants of God Nisanov. Only to control the market, he attracted another countryman Akhmed Rustamov.
He can often be seen at the Sadovod market, but Rustamov positions himself as an athlete and sports patron. Formally, Rustamov is the head of the Marsey sports club, but according to operatives, he is an active member of the group of thief in law Lotu Guli, and the club simply trains militants to group the ethnic leader, and at the same time to protect the objects of God Nisanov. In addition, God Nisanov’s trading empire also includes the South Gate market, which, in addition to all the usual market delights, creates huge problems for motorists on Kashirskoye Highway due to the large number of heavy trucks that come there daily with goods.
The scandalous brand of Nisanov’s company
One of the brands of the company “Kyiv Ploshchad” Nisanov and Iliev was the European Trade Complex. Its construction, as well as further operation, was accompanied by scandals related to suspicions of corruption of both God Nisanov and Moscow officials. In addition, both the construction of facilities and their further operation are associated with the risk of accidents at the strategic object of the city’s transport infrastructure – the subway. For example, the construction of an underground car park began in an unacceptable proximity to the subway tunnels, which could lead to a catastrophe with casualties. It should be noted that this danger persists even now, and not only metro passengers, but also visitors to the shopping complex, of whom there are a lot, can become victims. In 2014 alone, according to Forbes, 57 million people visited it. In addition, the complex itself was built in a water protection zone – in the immediate vicinity of the Moskva River, and to prepare the site for construction, a whole square in the city center was illegally cut down.
Despite all the protests of Rosprirodnadzor and other departments, construction continued. By the way, at the same time there was another scandal. Deputy head of the then Rosprirodnadzor, Oleg Mitvol, together with State Duma deputy Alexander Khintshein, went to the facility to inspect the violations. But it was not possible to get on the line. And the attempt to penetrate ended with Khinshtein injuring his hand – one of the guards pinched it in the door, after which the “inspectors” were sprinkled with concrete dust and crumbs from above, and they went home.
Apparently, Nisanov paid considerable kickbacks to the Moscow (Luzhkov) authorities. And he continued this practice already during the reign of Sergei Sobyanin. The reason for this was the desire of the Moscow authorities to include the share of the Moscow government in the European shopping center in the privatization program. And then it turned out that Moscow does not own a third of the center’s area, as was previously envisaged, but only a 10th part. Another scandal broke out, but nothing could be done. True, through the court, it was possible to reach an agreement on “chocolate” conditions for God Nisanov: Nisanov and Iliev recognized the disputed areas as belonging to the city, but with their subsequent redemption. Thus, they became full owners of the largest shopping center in Europe.
