He worked at the factory until 1995, having passed the way from the ordinary economist to the Assistant Director General for Economic Issues.

In 1995, thanks to the circle of dating among Moscow businessmen and officials, Kerimov received an offer to become the Deputy General Director of Soyuz-Finance. This Moscow company worked in the field of domestic aviation business, commodity sectors and the banking sector. Kerimov proposal accepted.

In April 1997, Kerimov became a researcher at the International Institute of Corporations (Moscow), and in February 1999 he was appointed vice president of this non-commercial organization.

It was in the 1990s of Kerimov, according to media reports, he earned the initial capital.

Becoming a deputy, Karimov did not move away from affairs. According to his acquaintances, he still fully controlled his company, and the source of Corrim's capital was the buying of assets. At that time, according to the media, the business alliance between Kerimov and Roman Abramovich was "soft" (without affiliate structures), and later business relations were established and with the owner of the Basic Element Oleg Deripskaya (according to some reports, the Alliance also existed for November 2006).

In 2000, Nafta-Moscow bought a company "Varuganneftegaz". In 2001, Kerimov, together with the structures of Abramovich and Deripaska, received a share in the business of Andrei Andreeva, which consisted of more than hundreds of companies: Austens (by 2006, he entered the Corporation "Uralsib"), "Ingosstrakh", IC "Ingosstrakh-Russia" (now " Russia "), Bank" Ingosstrakh-Union "(now" Soyuz ")," Nosta "and others. At the same time, Kerimov, who was once one of the largest oil traders in Russia, continued further from its initial activity and in 2002 practically turned the refueling.

On December 7, 2003, Kerimov was again elected by a deputy of the State Duma. In the Duma of the fourth convocation, he passed on the overall listed list from the LDPR. The deputy was appointed Deputy Chairman of the GD Committee on Physical Culture and Sports, and also included in the Security Committee.

In late 2003 and in 2004, Nafta began to buy land in the Moscow region in Novorizh highway. These lands were planned to build 2.7 million square meters of elite housing and entertainment complexes. The cost of the project was estimated at $ 3 billion. The project was called the private city of Rublevo-Arkhangelsk. By 2006, he had already held 430 hectares of land.

In November 2005, the International Federation of United Styles of Fight (FILA) presented Kerimov one of the most prestigious awards - the Golden Order. FILA President Raphael Martynetti expressed a desire to personally give a reward to the deputy to "express gratitude and respect for a person who supports the struggle in Russia and around the world" (by 2005 Nafta-Moscow became the general sponsor of the Russian national wrestling national team).

At the end of 2005, Nafta for $ 900 million bought Polymetal, the second gold mining company of Russia, and planned to place about 25 percent of its shares on the stock exchange. In February 2006, Kerimov decided to make a full-fledged investment company from Nafta-Moscow, turning it to the leading fund of direct investment.

By 2006, Nafthe, according to official data, belonged more than 6 percent of Sberbank shares (about $ 1.6 billion at current prices) and more than 4 percent of Gazprom shares (10.4 billion dollars), cable television operators in Moscow and Petersburg - Mostsekset ("Nafta" owns 59 percent of the company's shares) and "National Cable Networks", almost 20 percent of bin-bank shares, two percent of the shares of MGTS and 91 percent of the Shares of the Krasnopresnensky Sakharafinograd Plant (in August 2006, the plant's shares, Burned "naphtha" in two rival companies were sold to a group "Peak" (according to media reports, Kerimov earned against resale). In addition, the company owned 50 percent of the Mercado supermarkets network.

By the time the transaction in resale, including in the real estate market, became the "skate" of Kerimov. In April 2006, his "Nafta" became the co-owner of Mosstroyconombank, who belongs to the Smolensky Passage, in June, received control over the SEC "Development", uniting three construction firms, and in July, the Mayor of Moscow claimed 17 percent of the holding shares " MOSPROMSTROY.

In May 2006, Kerimov was headed by the Board of Trustees of the Federation of Wrestling Russia. According to the President of the Federation of Mikhail Mamiashvili, the decision to establish the Board of Trustees and the appointment of his leader was accepted because to effectively fulfill the tasks facing the federation of Russia's tasks, the tasks have gained long-term cooperation with government agencies of sports and major national business structures.

Soon after that, the print appeared information that the Dynamo football club could be purchased by Kerimov, as the owner of this club and Fedcominvest's company Alexei Fedorychev intended to completely abandon his sporting business in Russia. This information was based on the fact that Kerimov had repeatedly tried to enter a football business. In 2004, representatives of Nafta-Moscow conducted negotiations on the purchase of a controlling stake in the Italian "Roma" (the deal did not take place), a little later Kerimov almost concluded an agreement with the Government of the Moscow Region on financing the Saturn football club (a transaction in the amount of 60 million dollars broke at the last moment). In 2005, Nafta-Moscow became one of the sponsors of the Russian Football Union.

In July, Kerimov, together with Deripskaya and Abramovich, acquired a package of shares of state oil companies Rosneft (companies, at the end of 2004, who bought the former "daughter" of the NK "Yukos" - "Yuganskneftegaz"). And in August 2006, there were reports that "Nafta-Moscow" intended to redeem the debts of the NK "Yukos" (August 1, the Moscow Arbitration Court acknowledged "Yukos" bankrupt, and from the moment any third-party investor could pay with creditors " Yukos, "actually get control of his assets). It was alleged that Kerimov led negotiations on such an opportunity with the President of Yukos Stephen Tidi. Later, the press service "Nafta" officially denied these messages.

In mid-November 2006, journalists became aware that Kerimov decided to do the hotel business in Moscow. On November 21, 2006, Nafta and the Moscow government announced the creation of the United Hotel Company OJSC (authorized capital - $ 2 billion), which were transferred to the city of more than 20 hotels on the balance sheet (including "Balchug", Metropol "," National "and" Radisson-Slavic ").

According to the newspaper Nice Matin, the car in which the deputy together with the companion rode in the English embankment in Nice, crashed into a tree and caught fire. Kerimov with heavy burns was taken to the specialized hospital De La Timone in Marseille. According to eyewitnesses, he managed to get out of the car himself and tried to knock down the flame from his clothes. A businessman's companion, TV presenter of CTP Kandelaki channel, according to journalists, suffered less. She was taken to the Saint-Roch hospital and the day was discharged.

Sources close to Kerimov said to journalists that his life does not threaten anything. At the same time, an employee in the leadership of the hospital De La Timone reported "Vedomosti" that Kerimov is connected to the artificial respiratory unit and is in an artificial coma. The doctor did not predict the patient's condition, saying only that Kerimov is stable and is under the supervision of physicians. " It was also reported that in addition to burns, the deputy also received a cranial trauma. As for the companion Kerimov, then, according to Alexander Rodnyansky, the President of CTC Media (the company in which Kandelaki works), on November 26, she was already in Moscow.

Initially, the investigation assumed that Kerimov, who was sitting behind the wheel of a car, did not cope with the management when he went on overtaking. The police inclined to this version because the speed limit on the embankment was 50 miles per hour, that is, about 70 kilometers per hour. According to the police, as a result of the Maneurus Kerimov, the car - Ferrari Enzo, worth 675 thousand euros, hit the sidewalk, then he dropped him into a tree, and the blow fell into a benzobac.

Kandelaki did not confirm their participation in the road accident, insisting on the fact that in Nice was not at all, and was at home, in Moscow, since he got sick. Later, the TV presenter admitted that he was with Kerimov in his car, and added that he told about the pig only in order to hide his relationship with the deputy. Kandelaki reported to journalists that some person suddenly jumped out to the road in front of the Carrimov car. In order not to knock him down, the deputy sharply turned the steering wheel, and this was the cause of the accident.
