Nikolay Suleimanov (Russian: Николай Сулейманов; 6 October 1955 – December 1994) nicknamed "Khoza" and "Ruslan", was a Chechen mafia leader active in the 1980s and 1990s.
By 1986, his group controlled Moscow's Southern River Port, the largest car market in the capital, and specialized in racketeering the "New Russian" class.
Following a turf war in 1988–89, the Chechen alliance, nominally controlled by ‘Musa the Older’, managed to force some of the top rival criminal organizations completely out of the city and assume a dominant position in Moscow.
[3] In 1993, he went with his men to Chechnya, where he was joined by the charismatic gangster-turned-rebel Ruslan Labazanov and took part in a coup attempt against Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev.
[4] "Khoza" was reportedly shot dead in December 1994, shortly before the outbreak of First Chechen War, at one of his businesses, the 7th Car Service Station in Moscow, by a contract killer sent by the Russian mafia.
