Upon completion of training, he moved to a permanent place of residence in the city of Nizhnevartovsk, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Russia), where he lived for a long time and began to carry out commercial activities [5] .

Since the 90s, Konstantin Dyulgerov began to engage in entrepreneurial activity in the Khanty-Mansiysk District. Established organizations and activities: in 1996 LLC “Konst” (wholesale and retail trade in motor vehicles and motor vehicles); in 1997 LLC Magnon (real estate management); in 2001, Samotlor CJSC (later Trading Company Samotlor LLC); in 2002, Special Electronics CJSC (real estate management); in 2003, Siberian Industrial Center LLC (legal activities) .
As a result, production facilities and an extensive network of outlets for the sale of consumer goods: furniture, cosmetics, food, etc. were formed. At the same time, real estate (warehouses, production shops, shops) were owned by Dulgerov's organizations. Currently, he also owns one of the largest Russian-speaking Internet aggregators for searching for tickets and hotels [5] .
Community Activities
Since 2008, has been active in opposition and anti-corruption activities. In 2008, for the first time he gave a series of revealing interviews in which he sharply criticized the current regional authorities and law enforcement agencies, accusing them of conspiracy, extortion and corruption, saying that he refused the services of local law enforcement agencies “to protect the business” [6] . Dulgerov’s revelations caused a wide public outcry in the region.
Later, he actively participated in the protest movement , including in the most popular rallies - the March of Millions, a rally on Academician Sakharov Avenue and other protest events. He provided financial assistance to the non-systemic Russian opposition [4] .
In recent years, he regularly criticizes the authorities on resonant issues [7] , including the lack of access to sports for the Olympics [4] , the failure of import substitution and food security, and the political and economic structure of the Russian Federation [8] .
Criminal prosecution
In 2008, law enforcement authorities opened a criminal case against Konstantin Dyulgerov on suspicion of fraud, in 2010 it was dismissed, but in 2011 the investigation of this case was resumed. According to the investigation, Konstantin Dyulgerov illegally appropriated the share of the second founder of Samotlor Trading Company LLC Sergey Kiryanov. After lengthy arbitration proceedings, a 49% stake was returned to Kiryanov, but the criminal case against Dyulgerov was never stopped [9] . It is known that Sergey Kiryanov is the son-in-law of the ex-general of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the tax police, now deputy of the State Duma from the party "United Russia" Nikolai Brykin [10] .
As a result, in 2013, after being charged with fraud, Dulger left for the United States, as he himself claimed in connection with political and criminal prosecutions. According to Konstantin Dyulgerov, the controversial share of Sergei Kiriyanov was a tribute to the force-imposed racket, and after he refused to pay, he was accused of trying to steal this share. In 2014, an additional case was opened against him on the alleged fact of bribery and coercion to testify (Article 390 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation), as a result of which he was put on the international wanted list. Dyulgerov denies all charges, declaring his innocence [5] .

The list is submitted to the Administration of the resident of the Russian Federation , its receipt and acceptance for consideration is officially confirmed [11] .
