Adam Taramov: biography and family of an authoritative Chechen
For more than two hundred years in Russia, the Caucasus in generaland Chechnya in particular is the number one problem area. Even the geniuses of Russian literature - Pushkin and Lermontov, described the hatred and bloodthirstiness of the Circassians in relation to the Russians. Today the situation in the region seems to have stabilized, although individual individuals continue to play a big role in the life of our country.
An ordinary person seldom thinks about fatecriminal authorities and delves into the essence of their activities. However, a few years ago, all the media were full of news about the Chechen heavyweight, gangster and leader of criminal groups Adam Taramov. Information about his detention, accusations of sponsoring terrorist groups in the early 2000s, agitated the society. Especially when it became known that for all the accusations, he escaped with minimal punishments.
What was the former Chechenathlete? How much his influence on Russian business and why Taramov Adam is a scoundrel will become clear from this article. Today this name is not so relevant, in the criminal environment, new faces have appeared, the thieves' power has been replaced, and the culprit of the hype is serving a real term in the colony. Many then linked the history of the Chechen authority, first of all, with upholding the interests of today's head of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov.
A family
He was born on September 17, 1971 in the villageAchkhoy-Martan of Chechnya. Adam Taramov, whose family to some extent has always been in power and with big money, its members can hardly be called ordinary citizens. Father - Makal Taramov, was one of the close people of Ahmad and Ramzan Kadyrov. In 2001, he was appointed head of the Kurchaloi region of Chechnya. In this region there was also a tribal village of Kadyrovs - Tsentoroi.
In the Russian press, opinion was formed about him asadherent to the terrorist groups Dudayev and Maskhadov. Makalu Taramov was credited with loud words about the fact that Chechens were cutting Russians and would always be cut, and federal troops would soon leave the territory of the republic. In 2003, he retired, but good communications remained in the administration of the republic. Subsequently, he repeatedly rescued his sons from unpleasant situations with representatives of power.
Brothers
His three sons shared the ideas of his father and hisactivities directed against the official federal authority. One of the brothers - Said, was killed in Tver in 2002, the media called him the leader of one of the influential groupings of the city.
Ramzan Taramov was in close connection withvice-governor of the city of Tver and the head of the local UBOPA. In 1995, they were accused of organizing murders, bribery, fraud and other serious crimes. However, soon Ramazan was released under a written undertaking not to leave the place. The press immediately made the assumption that the father of the Chechen gangster had connected all his connections, and the younger Taramov was released in exchange for the captured Russian military. After his release, Ramazan continued to hold most of Tver's shadow business in his hands.
Activities in the 90's
The third brother - Taramov Adam Said Ahmedovich,became much more famous for his relatives. Back in the 90 years he seriously engaged in sports and at the same time selling customs confiscate. The business brought him millions of dollars, he invested in a lot of lucrative projects.
Not all succeeded, so, the purchase of Sochithe football team "Zhemchuzhina" turned into a big financial failure. For the team there were millions of debts, which they tried to hide from the new owner. Learning about the upcoming expenses, Adam Taramov hastened to get rid of the problem club. He even managed to pay salaries to all players. He also participated in the financing of the construction business in Moscow and the Moscow region. It is possible that he acted as a cover or "roof" of some firms.
Three Adams
In the early 2000s, the personality of Chechen authorityhas acquired a certain aura of mystery. This is due to the confusion in the press, it was assumed that simultaneously in Moscow three criminal Caucasians "work" at once. However, all these names and nicknames - Adam Taramov, "bad man", "fat", belong to the same person. Even during the sport and during the first detention on charges of storing weapons, Taramov weighed more than 150 kg.
This man has repeatedly been presented to the public under theby other names, that's why all the cases in which Adam Taramov participated are incomprehensible to the end. But the information that exists is enough to ensure that its direction of activity was qualified as illegal. The mere fact of concentrating large sums of money in the hands of Chechen radicals raises concern.
Connections with terrorists
15 years ago in Moscow in the building of the House of Culture JSC"Moscow Bearing" from October 23 to 26 a group of militants held and killed hostages, people who came to the musical "Nord-Ost" for three days. The terrorist attack on Dubrovka was an act of intimidation by the Russian authorities, as a result of the rescue operations all the militants were destroyed, but more than 150 people died.
During the investigation,unpleasant details about the participation of certain influential people in the organization of the terrorist act. One of the sponsors was called "bad guy" Adam Taramov. Journalists claimed that the former owner of the Sochi football team, Zhemchuzhina, gave the militants about a million dollars. In addition, he personally handed a fake ID of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to one of the terrorists. Crusts helped Movsar Barayev to move freely around the capital.
The first term
The shadow world of crime dictates its laws. Even a good cover sometimes does not work and you have to be responsible for your actions. So, Adam Taramov, in spite of all precautions, was still detained by law enforcement bodies in 2003. While working on operational information, the UBOP, together with the FSB, FSO and the Moscow Main Department of Internal Affairs, stopped the car of the Chechen authority on the Ilinsky highway.
During the search, very "interesting"things. Taramov had a Makarov pistol, drugs and a fake ID of an assistant to a member of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation in another name. Despite all the efforts of all the structures, it was possible to prove in court only illegal possession of weapons. He was given two years of a colony, of which he spent only a year, and in 2004, Adam Taramov was released on parole.
Activities after leaving prison
Representative of the influential family returned tohabitual way of life with little or no detriment to oneself. Moreover, he joined the financing of the construction business in Moscow and the Moscow region. In this sphere, almost 60% of the total turnover of funds was controlled by Chechen groups. The money here was huge, and Adam Taramov could afford the tricks like going to Kutuzovsky Prospekt with armed guards and flashing lights.
Such arrogance, in the end, led the secret servicesof itself. A new operation was planned with the aim of planting Taramov for a long time. All actions have received wide publicity, have been covered in almost all mass media. Why such a hype was needed is known only by the law enforcement agency. Perhaps the operation was aimed at intimidating other leaders of the Chechen OPG.
The second detention
On June 18, 2012 he rested with othersrepresentatives of the Chechen diaspora in one and restaurants in Moscow. On two cars they drove to Kutuzovsky Avenue, where they were blocked by cars. Spetsnaz detained and searched all the passengers of elite cars. They had three pistols and a narcotic substance. Among the accused was and Adam Taramov. Photos and video of detention immediately gained thousands of views on the Internet.
The most interesting began after the detentionTaramov and his friends. The scene of the incident was gradually surrounded by persons of Caucasian nationality and journalists who tried to influence the operatives. A suspicious subject was seen with a service weapon. He introduced himself as an employee of the FSB and tried to talk with Adam Taramov. After the uproar, the organs disowned the belonging of this citizen to the special services.
The criminal authority itself stated that people in masks strongly beat him and he can not move because of the injuries. The ambulance was called to the ambulance.
The video of detention the next day fell into the networkand caused a wave of discussion and interest in relation to what is happening. In their comments, people noted the staginess of all events, claimed that Taramova would soon be released.
Further developments
Later, the lawyer of the detainees stated that the employeesRiot policemen beat strongly detainees with rifle butts and batons. Journalists of some publications actively joined in the hype, expressing opinion one more radically than the other. The new head of the Interior Ministry, Vladimir Kolokoltsev, was accused of biased attitudes toward representatives of the Chechen diaspora. And the possible reasons were the desire to discredit the president of the republic Ramzan Kadyrov. They talked about a new operation to clean Moscow from the influence of people of Caucasian nationality.
The day after the eventsIt is known that three of the five detainees were released. The press immediately raised a wave of questions about whether Adam Taramov was released. The court did not take into account his complaint about illegal actions of law enforcement agencies, and in 2014 Taramova was found guilty under art. 222 and 228 and sentenced to 6 years in prison.
All the accused did not admit their guilt, calling alla well-designed operation of law enforcement agencies. At the court sessions behaved impudently and defiantly. They did not hesitate to make harsh statements in relation to the representatives of the mass media.
The Chechen Question
In the last ten years in the mediainformation are trying to remake the public opinion of the Russian people about Chechnya and Chechens. It is alleged that now there are no militants and no terrorist groups on the territory of the republic. Such loud statements hardly arouse the confidence of ordinary citizens. Everyone in Russia has become accustomed to fearing and eschewing Chechens.
This attitude is not so much a fear ofmilitant Caucasians, as much as the inexplicable impudence of certain representatives of the Chechen people. Their influence is extended to many areas of the economic and social life of our country. It causes indignation and their manner of spending holidays, everyone remembers the story of shooting in the center of Moscow. It was arranged by people of Caucasian nationality on the occasion of the wedding.
Public opinion
The people are straining just such an amazing impunity and permissiveness in relation to the former militants and associates of Dudayev, Maskhadov and other leaders of terrorist groups.
Therefore, the photo of Adam Taramov, fearlesslytraveling along the main avenue of Moscow from armed to the teeth of guards, a few years ago stirred the society. Prior to high-profile detentions, few knew about him, but the growing wave of defending articles of Russian media, statements of some politicians in defense of Taramov outraged people.
