Khabirov was born in the village of Sayranovo in the Ishimbaysky District of Bashkir ASSR. From 1982 until 1984, he served in the Soviet Army, and from 1984, he was a student at BashSU as well as assistant of the Department of State Law and Soviet Building of the Law Faculty in the same university and chairman of the trade union committee of students. During 1992–1994 he was an undergraduate student at Bilkent University.

From 1994 until 1998, Khabirov was a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Law, BSU. From 1998 until 2002, he served as an assistant professor and deputy dean of the Law Faculty of BSU.

From 2002 until 2003 he served as acting director and then director of the Law Institute in Bashkir State University.

Since September 2003 until July 2008, Khabirov was head of the Administration of the President of the Republic of Bashkortostan. After that he became director of the Department for Relations with the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and Political Parties. Since 2009, he has been a deputy head of the Presidential office on domestic policy.

From 25 January 2017, Khabirov served as an acting head of the Krasnogorsk City District. From 28 March 2017 to 11 October 2018 worked as the Head of the urban district Krasnogorsk of the Moscow Oblast.

Since October 2018, Khabirov was appointed as an acting head of Bashkortostan.[2] Khabirov was officially elected to be the Head after the 2019 Head of the Republic of Bashkortostan election, winning 82% of the vote.

Criticism[]

During the 2003 Bashkortostan presidential elections, opposition candidates allegedly found a printing house which consisted of false ballots, whom were ordered by Khabirov.[3][4] A statement about Khabirov's involvement in the printing of fake ballots was made by the Bashkortostan Deputy Prosecutor Vladimir Korostylev, whom was soon forced to resign.[5] The case of electoral fraud did not continue, but even after the years, Khabirov was seen to be involved with the case of false ballots.[6][7]

During the mass protests against Bashkir President Murtaza Rakhimov which took place in 2005, Khabirov actively supported Rakhimov, calling the protests "baboon dances" and accusing the Murtaza's son Ural Rakhimov of financing the opposition.[8]

After becoming the head of the republic head of the region, Khabirov allowed for a land in the Kushtau to be owned by the Bashkir Soda Company for development.[9] On 3 August 2020, deforestation began on the hill. As a result, about 10,000 protestors gathered in Kushtau, whom were dissatisfied with the logging and destruction of the national Bashkir heritage. On 6 August, a member of the Human Rights Council under the Head of Bashkortostan Elza Maulimshina said that police detained several activists.[10] On 15 August, about 200 private security officers came to the hill, resulting in clashes between them and the environmental activists. The demonstrators claimed that the security officers used gas from canisters against the crowd. More than 20 activists were detained.[11] On 16 August, Khabirov called for an end in the Kushtau development, stating that the work would remain on pause until a compromise was found.[12]

According to the investigations of the Anticorruption Foundation and Navalny's Team in Ufa Khabirov is a hugely corrupt official.[13][14]
