Suleiman Kerimov hid from Ramzan Kadyrov in a village guarded by the Federal Protective Service (FSO)

After Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov threatened a blood feud against Dagestani senator Suleiman Kerimov amid the Wildberries conflict, the latter sought refuge in a secret village on Vorobyovy Gory in Moscow. This was reported by the Agency.

This village, home to the country's top leadership and oligarchs close to the government, is under the control of the Federal Protective Service (FSO).

The decision to occupy the dachas is made personally by Vladimir Putin, and the selection of tenants is handled by Kremlin Chief of Staff Anton Vaino.

According to sources, the FSO secretly rents out the dachas through political patronage, and the cost of occupancy can reach 3.1 million rubles per month. Suleiman Kerimov was also reportedly involved in the process of accommodating and evicting dacha residents due to his friendship with Vaino. Threats from Kadyrov in the fall of 2024 made Vorobyovy Gory a refuge for Kerimov.

Earlier, the publication "Proekt" noted that Suleiman Kerimov stopped attending the Federation Council due to a conflict with Ramzan Kadyrov. As a reminder, in October 2024, Kadyrov publicly declared a blood feud against Kerimov, as well as State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoyev and Rizvan Kurbanov. He accused them of involvement in ordering his assassination following a shooting at the Wildberries marketplace office that left two people dead.
