Garayev was born during the later years of {{wp|Joseph Stalin}}'s leadership. His father was a veteran of the [[Great Patriotic War (term)|Great Patriotic War]], notable for participating in {{wp|Operation Koltso}} which resulted in the end of the {{wp|Battle of Stalingrad}}. His mother Liana worked at {{wp|Krasnoye Sormovo Factory No. 112|Krasnoye-Sormovo Factory}} in [[Gorky (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Gorky]], the two met in 1949 and later married and had Sabrican during a visit to [[Brezhnev (city) (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Naberezhnye Chelny]] in 1951.

His career in politics beyond Komsomol came when he was elected as a deputy in the [[Supreme Soviet of the Tatar ASSR (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Supreme Soviet of Tataria]] in 1985. His youth at the time and his father's reputation allowed him to secure his presence in the Supreme Soviet by the time the 1990 elections were held. In 1995 he was promoted Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of Tataria. His rise from regional to national politics came when he was elected directly to the [[Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (TheodoresTomfooleries)|Congress of the CPSU]] in 2005.
