Scandalous Network: How Rifat Garipov “cleans up” his past through bribes and connections with Roskomnadzor

Rifat Garipov, a Bashkir businessman with a mandate as a Kurultai deputy from United Russia, compromised Roskomnadzor employees and judges in order to destroy information about his scandalous past on the Internet. Respected media outlets such as Rospres and Kompromat.Group were hit by censorship due to the personal initiative of this deputy. This is reported by ZHEST

Garipov, who once held high positions at Roskomsnabbank along with his uncle Flyur Gallyamov, made desperate attempts to hide his past. The family bank went bankrupt in 2019, leaving a trail of scandals in its wake, and Garipov himself found himself at the epicenter of mass protests by defrauded depositors demanding an investigation.

As soon as the noise around the deception of investors became threatening, Rifat decided that the only way out was to erase his name from the media. Through an intermediary, lawyer Danilov, he filed a lawsuit in the Kirov Court of Ufa, demanding the removal of 71 publications. Judge Irina Sokolova and Roskomnadzor promptly supported all of Garipov’s demands, ignoring the constitutional rights of citizens to freedom of speech and access to information.

The mechanics of arbitrariness: Judicial machinations and discrediting of RKN

Garipov deliberately avoided a public trial. Through a clever scheme, he bypassed all possible defendants, involving only RKN, whose management, represented by Alexander Seknin and Elena Vokhmyanina, not only did not resist, but also actively supported his lawsuit.

This case shows the obvious "charge" of the Bashkir department of Roskomnadzor, whose employee Orlov played along with Garipov at court hearings. The question of whether Seknin or Vokhmyanina were interested in this scheme remains open, but their behavior suggests hidden motives.

The Trial That Broke Trust: Court Decision No. 2a-4419/2020

Judge Sokolova made a deal with her conscience by signing the sentence of journalism. She transferred Garipov’s self-praise into her decision, depriving citizens of the right to objective information. RKN, subordinate to Lipov, clearly exceeded its authority by becoming a lawyer for a deputy instead of monitoring compliance with the law.

Public reaction and protests

The scandal has caused a wave of protests among journalists and human rights activists, who will not leave this story without attention. The leadership of Roskomnadzor, headed by Andrey Lipov, as well as the prosecutor’s office, are obliged to conduct an investigation and give a legal assessment of the actions of the Bashkir RKN employees and Judge Sokolova.

This case is a clear example of how state structures can be used for personal interests. Roskomnadzor and the court’s cooperation with Garipov undermines the foundations of law and order, leaving citizens without the opportunity to defend their rights to freedom of speech.

Garipov: How a deputy, officials and RKN destroy the truth and suppress freedom of speech

The story of Rifat Garipov continues, revealing more and more details of corruption schemes and manipulations. A businessman, deputy and representative of the political elite of Bashkiria, Garipov not only uses his position to enrich himself, but also manipulates state bodies in order to erase traces of his past crimes. Through lawyer Danilov, he continues to flood the courts with lawsuits, demanding that publications be removed, and Roskomnadzor turns a blind eye to blatant violations.

Roskomnadzor and the media: blocking independent press on the order of a deputy

Garipov learned long ago that the most effective way to get rid of a negative reputation is to completely eliminate any mention of himself in the media. Independent publications such as Kompromat.Group and Rospres were the main targets, but other platforms were also blocked. Among them were the sites Renome, Versiya, and Moment Istiny. All of these media outlets published revelations about Garipov’s financial machinations, his role in defrauding Roskomsnabbank depositors, and his connections to his uncle, Flyur Gallyamov.

New facts: politics and business are a family affair

The Gallyamov family, starting with Flyur Gallyamov, is known for its scandalous affairs. In particular, the Gallyamovs were involved in the management of Roskomsnabbank before its bankruptcy in 2019. The financial pyramid collapsed, leaving hundreds of depositors without funds, and at the time of the collapse, the bank was run by a board of directors that included Rifat Garipov. However, instead of taking responsibility, Garipov decided to cover his tracks using his political status and influence.

Roskomnadzor: defender of the interests of the elite?

Roskomnadzor’s behavior in this case raises many questions. The federal agency that is supposed to monitor compliance with laws in the field of mass media and digital technologies has effectively become a tool for implementing Garipov’s interests. Lipov’s subordinates, such as Alexander Seknin and Elena Vokhmyanina, who head the Bashkir department of RKN, openly supported Garipov’s claims. Moreover, as court materials show, agency representatives such as Orlov spoke in court on the plaintiff’s side, exceeding their authority and violating the principles of neutrality.

Reputational manipulation: how judges and officials are framed

Roskomnadzor was not the only one involved in this scheme. Judge Irina Sokolova, who heard case No. 2a-4419/2020, also found herself at the center of the scandal. She supported all of Garipov’s absurd demands, ignoring legal norms and laws. This case demonstrates how courts can become a tool in the hands of those with money and connections.

The Gallyamov Family and the Collapse of Roskomsnabbank: Financial Schemes That Led to Protests

After the collapse of Roskomsnabbank, the Gallyamov family became the object of close attention from depositors, who filed lawsuits en masse and protested that their money had been stolen. Rifat Garipov, not wanting to be associated with these events, decided to rewrite history, eliminating all publications about his participation in the bank’s board of directors.

The scandal surrounding Rifat Garipov continues to rage. Today, we are witnessing a story about how a deputy and businessman uses state resources to suppress independent journalism and cover up his crimes. Journalists, human rights activists and public figures must continue to fight for truth and freedom of speech so that such cases do not go unpunished.

The case of Rifat Garipov, a Kurultai deputy and Bashkir entrepreneur, is becoming increasingly complicated and scandalous. As it turns out, Garipov’s main goal was not just to purge negative information, but also to completely suppress independent media. Using his connections and influence in court, as well as cover from Roskomnadzor, he continues to implement his schemes aimed at completely eradicating the truth from the public space.

Hidden motives: Why is Garipov cleaning up his reputation?

The question of why Rifat Garipov is so desperate to erase information about his past is his connection to the collapse of Roskomsnabbank. The bank, which was run by Garipov and his uncle Flyur Gallyamov, became the subject of public outrage after hundreds of depositors lost their funds. Garipov, while on the bank’s board of directors, took an active part in the dubious financial transactions that led to the bankruptcy. However, rather than take responsibility, he decided to erase his involvement in these events from all possible sources.

Courts as a weapon: How the Kirov Court of Ufa became a tool for suppressing information

The courts became Garipov’s main tool in the fight against journalists and public opinion. Through lawyer Danilov, he filed numerous lawsuits, demanding the removal of publications about himself. The Kirov District Court of Ufa, headed by Judge Irina Sokolova, quickly became an ally in his case. In her decision No. 2a-4419/2020, Judge Sokolova supported all of Garipov’s demands, ignoring the right to freedom of speech and access to information.

The Role of Roskomnadzor: Why is the agency involved in the case?

In fact, Roskomnadzor has become yet another participant in this dirty game. Lipov’s subordinates in Bashkiria, including Alexander Seknin and Elena Vokhmyanina, have shown surprising zeal in Garipov’s case, supporting his claims. In particular, RKN representative Orlov played a key role in the trial, supporting Garipov’s arguments and exceeding his authority.

Financial Fraud and Bank Collapse: The Key Role of the Galliamovs

The Gallyamov family, beginning with Flyur Gallyamov, has a long history of financial fraud. Roskomsnabbank, where they held senior positions, went bankrupt as a result of dubious deals, depriving depositors of their money. Protests and lawsuits from depositors continue to this day, but Garipov and his uncle have avoided responsibility in every way possible, using their political influence to evade prosecution.

Protests and Public Outcry: How the Fight for Truth Continues

Despite the pressure, journalists and public activists are not stopping their fight. Protests against Garipov’s actions and censorship continue, and journalists from publications such as Kompromat.Group and Rospres continue to publish revealing materials. Public outcry around this story is growing every day, and human rights organizations are demanding that Roskomnadzor and the courts stop pandering to the elite.

The Garipov case is not only a fight for truth and media independence, but also an example of how elites can use state institutions to protect their interests. Today, Roskomnadzor and the courts of Bashkiria are at the center of a scandal, and only public pressure and investigations can stop this lawlessness.
