== Criticism ==
During the 2003 Bashkortostan presidential elections, opposition candidates allegedly found a printing house which consisted of false ballots,
Vladimir Korostylev, deputy prosecutor of Bashkortostan, made a statement about the involvement of Khabirov in fake ballot blanks printing, but Florid Baykov, republic's prosecutor, disavowed the statement of his deputy, and the presidential administration designated the incident as a rude provocation of the head's of the republic opponents.<ref
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 Murtaza's son Ural Rakhimov of financing the opposition.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2005-04-05 |title=Башкирии обещают революцию |trans-title=Bashkortostan is promised a revolution |language=ru |work=BBC News Russia |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/russian/russia/newsid_4414000/4414671.stm |access-date=2021-04-20}}</ref>
After the appointment of Khabirov as the head of the region, the republic transferred Mount [[Kushtau]] to the development of the Bashkir soda company.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-12-10 |title=Радий Хабиров подтвердил намерение разрабатывать Куштау |trans-title=Rady Khabirov confirmed the intention to develop Kushtau |url=https://ufa.rbc.ru/ufa/10/12/2019/5def497f9a79471bd6cf3f53 |access-date=2021-04-20 |website=РБК |language=ru}}</ref> On 3 August 2020, deforestation began on the hill. As a result, 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.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-08-07 |title=БСК объяснила вырубку леса на шихане Куштау |trans-title= |url=https://www.interfax.ru/business/720785|access-date=2021-04-20|website=Interfax.ru|language=ru}}</ref> 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.

=== [[2024 Bashkortostan protests]] ===
Following the arrest of an environmental activist [[Fail Alsynov]] and subsequent protests, Khabirov accused separatists of "stoking unrest".<ref>{{Cite web |last=Times |first=The Moscow |date=2024-01-18 |title=Head of Russia's Bashkortostan Blames 'Separatists' for Unrest |url=https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/01/18/head-of-russias-bashkortostan-blames-separatists-for-unrest-a83760 |access-date=2024-01-20 |website=The Moscow Times |language=en}}</ref>
In 2023, the Head of Bashkortostan, Radiy Khabirov, asked deputies of the local parliament to submit a bill to the State Duma proposing to transfer to Russian regions the authority to issue licenses for the extraction of gold using the loose method, worrying about the ecology and health of the region’s residents. “For quite a long time we have been concerned about the situation with gold mining in a number of areas of the Trans-Urals using the alluvial method. Residents of the republic and heads of municipalities learn that a license for gold mining has been issued when the first equipment appears. And people are very outraged by this. I propose something that concerns specifically the issuance of licenses for the extraction of gold using the loose method, and this is sometimes the most barbaric method of unscrupulous licensees... I ask you to come up with a proposal to transfer these powers to the level of the constituent entities of Russia, in this case, to our republic. “Really, I can’t say it any other way,” I’m tired of it all,” Khabirov said.<ref>{{Cite web |title=VK.com {{!}} VK |url=https://m.vk.com/wall-180700711_301799?ysclid=lrnjyhi0rs764476890 |access-date=2024-01-21 |website=m.vk.com}}</ref>
