Nadir Nariman oglu Salifov (Azerbaijani: Nadir Nəriman oğlu Səlifov; 28 August 1972 – 19 August 2020), nicknamed Heart (Guli in Georgian), was a top Azerbaijan crime boss, notorious gangster and convicted criminal believed to be one of the richest of the criminal fraternity.

He claims he was held under barbaric conditions: a starvation diet barely adequate for subsistence; no fresh water; no facilities for washing, shaving or cutting his hair or nails; and no medical care.

[7] While in prison Salifov had an additional 16 years added to his original 15-year sentence, as a result of assault charges filed by a female visitor.

[5] In 2010, while Salifov was still in prison, there was a turf war known as The Dill War between associates of Nadir Salifov and those of Rovshan Janiyev (known as Rovshan Lenkoransky) over acquiring the green grocers markets in Moscow and on its Ring Road, which had previously been operated by convicted criminal Bakic Aliyev.

[8] In 2014 there was more struggling for the lucrative markets which led to a "Wild Western-style" gunfight during a meeting of the competing clans in the Absheron cafe in Moscow in which one man was killed with several suffering gunshot wounds.

This tied in with reports from early 2017 that Janiyev's underboss Agayar Agayev (aka Sedoy, Russian for "grey-haired"), who used to control the Yekaterinburg market, was now representing Salifov's interests.

[11] In December 2017 Russian police were attempting to defuse a tense situation in which Chechen criminals under Aziz Batukaev had been trying to take control of the green grocer markets held by Salifov's group.

Nadir Salifov had laid claims to the Food City market in Moscow controlled by Rovshan Lenkoransky's proxies.

[12] In March 2018, an Azeri claiming to be an exiled journalist, Rahim Namazov, was ambushed in the suburbs of Toulouse, France.

[13] In 2020, a group of four of Salifov's gang members were arrested in Odesa by the Security Service of Ukraine for running a kidnapping racket.
