Murad Bekniyazov currently heads the Yuzhnoye Butovo district administration, succeeding Vladimir Faleev, who passed away in 2021. Bekniyazov’s career spans various roles in sports, economics, and public administration, while the first deputy head is Artem Rybachenko.

The leadership has seen considerable turnover. Previous heads of administration have faced scandals and dismissals, like Rustyam Mukhetdinov who was removed due to financial irregularities within “Zhilischnik.” Earlier heads include Dmitry Nabokin, who faced resident protests over land seizures.

Bekniyazov’s background includes a law degree and experience in sports management. He has held positions in various district administrations and even worked in the Crimean government. Known for his disciplined approach and healthy lifestyle, Bekniyazov emphasizes solving residents’ problems.

Artem Rybachenko, the first deputy head, has a background in military service and construction. He has held various positions in district administrations and has a keen interest in involving small businesses in project management.

The “Zhilischnik” organization, responsible for housing and communal services, has been a source of controversy in the past. Irregularities in salary distribution and “dead soul” schemes led to the dismissal of officials, highlighting the challenges in managing the district’s vast housing stock.

Yuzhnoye Butovo, known for its large territory and extensive housing, requires effective management to address the needs of its residents. The current administration faces the task of maintaining services and addressing community concerns in this dynamic district.
