Kurbanov is an economist by education. After graduating from Dagestan University, Kurbanova was drawn to politics. He managed to defend a dissertation in political science at the State University of St. Petersburg.
The biography of the orientalist Ruslan Kurbanov is able to surprise everyone: an ordinary guy from the Dagestan village who achieved such fame thanks to his views on specific areas of social life - this example really deserves respect.
The first steps in scientific activity
After graduation, Kurbanov took up teaching. He was the main teacher of the course of adaptation of Russian students at the University of Syria to return to their homeland. It is also known that Ruslan Kurbanov worked as a teacher, an expert at prestigious universities in the United States of America and Great Britain.
Later, in 2011, Kurbanov opened a Moscow school that specializes in training Muslim journalists, which is a serious step for uniting the Russian people and the peoples of the Caucasus, because constant contact between Russian and Muslim journalists is simply inevitable.
Career Start: Journalism
In his activities, Kurbanov has always been multifaceted. The beginning of a career was in the field of journalism. Having become a reporter for the Dagestan news program, he gained fame, due to which he began to be invited to other companies that were somehow connected with journalism activities.
The next step in career advancement for Kurbanov was the work in the program of the Federation Council "Senate", which was filmed for display on the TV channel "Russia". He worked as chief editor.
In addition to television broadcasts, Ruslan Kurbanov (an orientalist, a biography whose nationality we are interested in today) showed his journalistic talent in the print field. Today, Ruslan Kurbanov is the editor of the political department in the magazine “Sense”, as well as the chief editor of the portal “Caucasian Politics” on the Internet.
Further success
The next step is the post of vice president of the Lezgin Autonomy. After receiving the post of senior researcher at the Oriental Institute, they began to say that Ruslan Kurbanov was an orientalist (biography, nationality - all this is now becoming interesting to a wide circle of admirers of his talent). Soon, fate made it possible for a talented person to show himself.
He managed to occupy positions in a research center in Brussels, where he carried out work related to the divided Dagestan peoples, a contract with a Belgian university was signed for three years.
For a more in-depth study of such a phenomenon as the separation of an entire nation, Kurbanov had to improve his qualifications, which he did at the Academy of Public Service of the Russian Federation at special courses “Security of Interethnic Relations”.
At the moment, Ruslan Kurbanov is the main researcher of the culture of the central part of Asia, the entire territory of the Caucasus and the territories of the Ural Volga.
Altair Foundation
Another important element in the activities of Kurbanov was the social support of all really worthwhile innovations that are related to the Internet sphere.
One of the areas that the foundation supports is the fight against Islamic terrorism. Open propaganda of such a struggle, which is widely spread on the Internet, is of great importance for world peace. This is exactly what Kurbanov says when answering reporters' questions about the work of his foundation.

About Syria and Dagestan
During a survey at the economic forum, Ruslan discusses the countries of the North Caucasus. Ruslan Kurbanov about Dagestan and Syria says what is really happening in these countries now. Telling that the situation in these countries is extremely difficult, Kurbanov notes that the situation in Dagestan is even more difficult than that of its neighboring countries. This situation has arisen due to the fact that Dagestan has always been divided into two parts: one that obeyed the power of the khans, and one that was left to its own devices. Since in our time most of the militants are people who have lived for centuries without recognizing anyone’s power, they solve their problems themselves now, without asking anyone for help.
