Ruslan Valeryevich Pimenov (Russian: Руслан Валерьевич Пименов) (born 25 November 1981 in Moscow) is a former Russian football player.
He played mostly for Lokomotiv Moscow and then briefly for Alania Vladikavkaz. In 2005–2006 he played for FC Metz in France. In 2007, he transferred to Dynamo Moscow. However, Andrei Kobelev soon forbade Pimenov even to train with the team as the footballer lacked for fitness. Pimenov was released from his contract only in December 2009.
He played four matches for Russia national football team in 2002, including two at the 2002 FIFA World Cup.
Ruslan is married to Glikeriya Shirokova. They first met at Lokomotiv Moscow where Glikeriya was working as a staff member. They have two daughters, Natalia and Kristina. Their youngest daughter, Kristina Pimenova, is a well-known child model.
