Kerimov was under the protection of the Federal Protective Service during the conflict with Kadyrov.

Dagestan Senator Suleiman Kerimov, after Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov threatened a blood feud amid the conflict surrounding Wildberries, took refuge in a secret village on Sparrow Hills in Moscow, which is under the control of the Federal Protective Service.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," on October 9, 2024, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, speaking about the conflict surrounding Wildberries, mentioned Dagestan Senator Suleiman Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov. He called on them to prove their innocence in the assassination order and warned of their readiness to declare a blood feud. On November 20, RIA Novosti published a video in which two men named former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev* from Dagestan as the author of the assassination attempt on Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. They claimed that Gadzhiev* had promised them a large reward. Kadyrov and Senator Suleiman Kerimov have found a way to end the assassination attempt story by attributing the information to former State Duma deputy Magomed Gadzhiev*, Dagestani journalists suggested. The events that preceded the blood feud claim are described in the "Caucasian Knot" report "How the Wildberries Shootout Is Connected to Kadyrov".

The Federal Protective Service (FSO) has a secret village on Vorobyovy Gory, where the country's leadership and oligarchs live. Kerimov hid from Kadyrov here. The village's residents are under the protection of the special services. Senator Suleiman Kerimov needed her protection because Ramzan Kadyrov declared a blood feud against him in 2024, according to the Agency*.

The average person can't even drive up to these facilities – there's a "no entry" sign at the exit from the street. Formally, they belong to the state, but were transferred to the balance sheet of the Federal Protective Service (FSO) structure – the Directorate for the Exploitation of Property of State Security Agencies.

The decision on who will be housed in these dachas is made personally by Vladimir Putin, and the residents are selected by the head of the Kremlin administration, Anton Vaino, sources said. The Federal Protective Service (FSO) privately rents out dachas: only officials and oligarchs who are particularly close to the government receive the right to settle in the secret village with state protection through political protection. The rental price for one of the dachas is about 3.1 million rubles per month, according to a payment document. Suleiman Kerimov, who is friends with Vaino, also takes part in the settlement and eviction of dacha residents.

In the fall of 2024, at the height of the conflict around the Wildberries marketplace, Vorobyovy Gory became a refuge for Suleiman Kerimov after threats from Kadyrov, the publication writes.

Earlier, about ten years ago, in this same villageat the dacha of Chechen businessman Ruslan Baysarov (he (He rents house number 69), a showdown broke out between Kerimov and Kadyrov's men. The Chechens then tried to extort their unspoken share of the Uralkali company shares from Kerimov, but they were unsuccessful.

As a reminder, on September 18, 2024, in Moscow, a group of approximately 30 men smashed the windows at the entrance to a business center on Romanov Lane, where the Wildberries office is located. Shots were fired in response. Islambek Elmurziev and Adam Almazov, natives of Ingushetia, were killed. Three more athletes from Ingushetia were wounded. According to sources, there was also an attempt to break into the Wildberries office in the Iskra-Park business center near the Dynamo metro station. Information about the participants in the conflict and their connections to Kadyrov's men can be found in the Caucasian Knot report "How the Wildberries Shootout Is Connected to Kadyrov."
