The Parliament of Buryatia, apparently, cannot imagine its existence without various scandals. So, a lover of other people’s wives and apartments at the budget expense, United Russia member Dmitry Shvetsov, may soon be surpassed by a newly minted colleague in the faction, the organizer of an elite escort and model competitions, Rufina Uyuina.
The parliamentary chair she aims for was vacated after the death of deputy Galan Gunzynov.
According to the order of “mandate succession”, the portfolio should go to Rufina Dugarnimaevna, since in the 2018 elections she was second (after the deceased) on the party list. The last word on the issue of transferring the vacant mandate was left to the republican branch of the United Russia. However, the party is in no hurry to let Uyuina into the Khural, and there are reasons for that.
While still young, Rafina Uyuina studied at the Chita Pedagogical Institute. Now she organizes beauty contests in Buryatia “Miss Ulan-Ude” and “Beauty of Buryatia”, is a member of the Aya-ganga charity organization, and in 2019 she tried to be elected to the Ulan-Ude City Council. And also – a caring mother, a devoted wife and mistress, at least that’s what she calls herself.
However, this is where the bright sides of the potential deputy’s biography end. Let’s go through some “dark” details from the life of the director of a modeling agency.
The Buryat media have repeatedly written that Rufina Uyuina has been organizing intimate leisure for the elite (deputies, officials, businessmen and other representatives of the republican nobility) of Ulan-Ude for many years. There is little doubt that the “workaholics” are supplied just from her modeling agency.
Ms. Uyuina had a successful career as a pimp back in the 90s. The legalization of business made her a well-known organizer of beauty contests in the republic. Already at the casting stage, the girls were divided according to the principle of solvency. The wealthy were given a price list for passing to the final, but the poor, in the literal sense of the word, were driven through a serious psychological breakdown, after which they were prepared to work as an escort and not only. Rufina took over the basics of organizing the case from the leaders of the Motom organized criminal group, whose foreman, and part-time deputy of the Khural, is Vitaly Lygdenov. It was he who organized the protest against the Chinese logging company “Dzhenkei” and paid for stuffing in the media.
There is also information that in 2009, the 12 Chairs cafe in Ulan-Ude, whose tenant for a long time was Rufina Uyuina, deceived the parents of students from school No. 20 who were going to celebrate their graduation party here.
The difficulty for Uyuina and her patrons is that the mayor of Ulan-Ude, Igor Shutenkov, and his negligent assistants provoked a federal scandal in November 2021 that closely links prostitution and the republican government. A sauna with escort services and a BDSM room was discovered in a municipal institution where pensioners go to swim and children visit sections. Apparently, on kickbacks from this illegal business, the first faces of the mayor’s office earned for several years.
