Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov

Ramzan Kadyrov was born on October 5, 1976 in the village of Tsentaroy (at that time - Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic). He was the second son in the family of Akhmat Kadyrov and his youngest child - he had an older brother Zelimkhan (1974 - May 31, 2004) and older sisters Zargan (born in 1971) and Zulay (born in 1972). The Kadyrovs belong to one of the largest Chechen teips, Benoy. In 1992, Ramzan graduated from secondary school in his native village.

During the First Chechen War, together with his father, he was in the ranks of the Chechen separatists and fought against the Russian Armed Forces.

After the First Chechen War, from 1996 he worked as an assistant and personal bodyguard to his father, the Mufti of Ichkeria Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, at that time one of the leaders of the separatist and anti-Russian movement in Chechnya, who declared “jihad” on Russia.

In the fall of 1999, Ramzan, together with his father, who opposed the growing influence of Wahhabism since 1996, went over to the side of the federal authorities. Since 2000, when Akhmat Kadyrov became the head of the provisional administration, he headed his father’s security service, forming it from personally dedicated fighters.

In 2000-2002 - inspector of communications and special equipment at the headquarters of a separate police company at the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, whose functions included protecting government buildings and ensuring the safety of senior leaders of the Chechen Republic. From May 2002 to February 2004 - platoon commander of this company. In 2003, after his father was elected president of Chechnya, Ramzan became head of the presidential security service. According to official statistics, from 2000 to 2003, five attempts were made on Ramzan Kadyrov’s life.

Responsible for conducting special operations. Conducted negotiations with members of illegal armed groups (IAF) about their transition to the side of the federal government. Most of the militants who surrendered were enlisted in the security service of the President of the Chechen Republic; as a result, by the end of 2003, former militants made up the overwhelming majority of Kadyrov’s men.

In 2003-2004 he served as assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Chechnya. He was a member of the State Council of the Chechen Republic from the Gudermes region.

On May 10, 2004, the day after the death of his father, he was appointed first deputy prime minister of the Chechen Republic. Supervised the power unit. The state council and the government of Chechnya appealed to the Russian president with a request to change the legislation so that Kadyrov could register as a candidate for the post of president of Chechnya (according to the Constitution of the republic, a person who has reached the age of 30 can become president; Kadyrov was 28). However, Putin did not change the legislation.

After his appointment as Deputy Prime Minister, Kadyrov announced his intention to achieve peace in Chechnya. He promised to personally eliminate the terrorist Shamil Basayev.

In September 2004, Kadyrov, with members of his security service and police officers of the Chechen regiment of the PPS, surrounded a large (estimated at about 100 people) detachment of the so-called. “guardsmen” of Aslan Maskhadov, led by the head of his personal guard, Akhmed Avdorkhanov, between the villages of Alleroi, Kurchaloevsky district, and Meskhety, Nozhai-Yurtovsky district (before that, Avdorkhanov entered Alleroi and killed several residents there who collaborated with the federal authorities). During the battle that lasted several days, according to Kadyrov, 23 militants were killed, while Kadyrov had 2 policemen killed and 18 wounded. Avdorkhanov left, Kadyrov claimed that he was seriously wounded.

Since the second half of October 2004, he has been an adviser to the Plenipotentiary Representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the Southern Federal District, Dmitry Kozak, on issues of interaction with the security forces of the federal district. Since November 2004 - head of the compensation committee.

On November 18, 2005, Prime Minister of Chechnya Sergei Abramov was in a car accident and was seriously injured, and on the same day, Chechen President Alu Alkhanov appointed Ramzan Kadyrov as acting chairman of the government of the republic.

Since January 2006, he became chairman of the government commission to suppress drug trafficking in the Chechen Republic. Since February 9, 2006 - secretary of the regional branch of the United Russia party.

On February 28, 2006, Abramov, still undergoing treatment, resigned as prime minister. On March 4, 2006, Alu Alkhanov proposed the candidacy of Ramzan Kadyrov for the post of chairman of the government of the republic to the People's Assembly of Chechnya, which was unanimously approved. On the same day, Alkhanov signed a decree appointing Kadyrov.

Commenting on the candidacy, Chairman of the People’s Assembly Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov said that Kadyrov “proved his ability to manage the economy, and not just the security forces... in a few months, as many facilities were commissioned in the republic as the federal enterprise “Directorate” did not commission in five years,” which was engaged in construction and restoration work in Chechnya, “mosques, sports complexes, hospitals are being built.” After Kadyrov's appointment as prime minister, massive construction in Grozny and other cities continued. On the occasion of Ramzan Kadyrov’s thirtieth birthday in October of the same year, Akhmat Kadyrov Avenue in the city center and a restored airport were opened in Grozny.

In July 2006, Radio Liberty journalist Andrei Babitsky said: “Every year it becomes more and more difficult for the Chechens to fight. The social base of those hiding in the mountains and forests is getting worse, Russian intelligence services are becoming more and more effective. The security forces of Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov are also working quite successfully. Even acquiring weapons and food becomes an extremely difficult task for militants.”

Since the spring of 2006, a conflict has been unfolding between Kadyrov and Alkhanov: the chairman of the government claimed full power in the republic, and in October he was supposed to turn thirty years old, which would allow him to take the presidential post. Some leaders of combat units subordinate to the federal forces, who did not want Kadyrov’s influence to increase, came out on Alkhanov’s side: commander of the Vostok battalion of the 291st motorized rifle regiment of the 42nd Guards Motorized Rifle Division of the GRU Sulim Yamadayev, commander of the Highlander detachment under the operational coordination FSB Directorate for the North Caucasus Movladi Baysarov and the commander of the West battalion of the GRU Said-Magomed Kakiev.

In April, there was a shootout between the president’s and the prime minister’s guards, which resulted in a meeting between Kadyrov and Alkhanov with Vladimir Putin. In May, the Ministry of National Policy, Press and Information of Chechnya distributed a survey questionnaire throughout the republic, three of the seven questions of which, according to observers, boiled down to a contrast between two top officials. In August, presumably on Kadyrov’s initiative, deputies of the upper house of the Chechen parliament refused to approve Alkhanov’s candidate for the post of chairman of the Supreme Court of Chechnya, A. Elmurzaev. In February 2007, representatives of the two politicians made contradictory statements about the fate of the Secretary of the Security Council, German Vok, who was close to Alkhanov: according to Kadyrov’s representatives, Vok was fired, according to Alkhanov’s entourage and Vok himself, he just went on vacation. Alkhanov and Kadyrov exchanged loud statements in the press: for example, Kadyrov said that Alkhanov’s team was “high time to disperse”

On February 15, 2007, Alkhanov submitted his resignation, which was accepted by the country's President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, Putin signed a decree appointing Ramzan Kadyrov as interim president of Chechnya.

March 1, 2007 Putin proposed Kadyrov’s candidacy for consideration by the Chechen parliament, informing Kadyrov about this at a meeting in Novo-Ogarevo. On March 2, his candidacy was supported by 56 out of 58 deputies of both chambers of the Chechen parliament. On April 5, the inauguration ceremony of Ramzan Kadyrov as President of the Chechen Republic took place in Gudermes, where former Prime Minister of Chechnya Sergei Abramov, the heads of several regions of the Southern Federal District, and the head of the Republic of Abkhazia Sergei Bagapsh were present.

After Kadyrov assumed the presidency, the situation in the republic stabilized compared to previous years, although reports of human rights violations in Chechnya continued to emerge, and Kadyrov himself was now blamed for them.

According to the anti-terrorist commission of Chechnya, which was headed by Kadyrov, in 2007 the number of terrorist attacks in the republic decreased by 72.5%. In 2006, Memorial recorded 187 kidnappings in Chechnya, of which 11 cases ended in the death of the victim and 63 in disappearance, and in 2007 - 35, 1 and 9, respectively. At the same time, according to Memorial and Human Rights Watch Kadyrov, for example, introduced the practice of collective punishment, when, in retaliation for militants going “into the forest,” their relatives’ houses were burned. Continuing the policies of his father, Kadyrov convinced many former separatists (both ordinary militants and well-known public figures) to go over to the side of the Chechen authorities. In the first months of his rule, Kadyrov obtained from the federal leadership the replacement of the head of ORB-2 (operational search bureau No. 2 of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for combating organized crime in the Southern Federal District). Before that, both Kadyrov and human rights activists accused ORB-2 of mass torture and fabrication of criminal cases.

The period of Kadyrov's rule was marked by large-scale construction and restoration of infrastructure in Chechnya, which became possible mainly thanks to subsidies from the federal budget. Thus, in 2008, the head of the Russian Presidential Administration, Sergei Naryshkin, announced the allocation of 120 billion rubles to finance the targeted program of local authorities. According to the Ministry of Finance, cited in 2011 by The New York Times, more than 90% of the republican budget was generated from Moscow. Another source of funds was the regional public fund named after Hero of Russia Akhmat Kadyrov, founded by Ramzan Kadyrov. According to the politician himself, donations to the fund are primarily from “former friends of Akhmat Kadyrov” and Chechen entrepreneurs living outside the republic. According to Jonathan Littell, all civil servants in Chechnya are regularly required to make contributions to the fund from their salaries.

Another feature of Kadyrov’s rule was the Islamization of the republic. Kadyrov often spoke out in support of Sharia law or its individual rules. During Kadyrov's presidency, the Heart of Chechnya mosque and the Russian Islamic University were opened in Grozny. He himself regularly demonstrates deep religiosity in the media. Kadyrov supports Sufi Islam, traditional for Chechnya, and its active dissemination has become one of Kadyrov’s ways of fighting Islamic radicalism (Salafism).

In October 2007, Kadyrov headed the regional list of United Russia in the Chechen Republic in the elections to the State Duma of the Russian Federation of the fifth convocation. Subsequently, he refused his deputy mandate.

In April 2008, on the Caucasus highway, a conflict occurred between the guards of Kadyrov’s motorcade and soldiers of the Vostok battalion, which was extinguished personally by the President of the Republic. On April 15, special services controlled by Kadyrov blocked the Vostok base in Gudermes, two battalion soldiers were shot dead during their arrest, and a search was carried out in the family home of the Yamadayev brothers. Ramzan Kadyrov publicly accused Sulim Yamadayev of murders and kidnappings, including the deaths of civilians during a clean-up operation in the village of Borozdinovskaya in 2005. In May, the command removed Yamadayev from his post. In November, the Russian Ministry of Defense disbanded the “East” and “West” battalions, thus eliminating the last units disloyal to Kadyrov, staffed by Chechens.

On October 23, 2009, an assassination attempt on Kadyrov was prevented with the participation of a suicide bomber. The militant was killed while trying to approach the venue for the opening of the memorial complex, where Kadyrov and Russian State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov were present. Later, the identity of the militant was established; he turned out to be a native of the city of Urus-Martan, Beslan Bashtaev.

On November 10, 2009, the President of the Russian Federation, by Decree No. 1259, awarded R. A. Kadyrov the rank of police major general.

On August 12, 2010, Ramzan Kadyrov sent an official letter to the parliament of the Chechen Republic requesting a change in the name of the highest official of the Chechen Republic. Kadyrov explained his position by saying that “in a single state there should be only one president, and in the constituent entities the first persons can be called heads of republics, heads of administrations, governors, and so on.”

On February 28, 2011, President Dmitry Medvedev submitted Kadyrov's candidacy to the Chechen parliament for approval for a second term. On March 5, Kadyrov was unanimously confirmed in office.

In August-September 2012, a dispute arose between Kadyrov and the President of Ingushetia, Yunus-Bek Yevkurov, about the administrative border between the republics. Kadyrov announced the need to review the borders of the Sunzhensky district of Chechnya. As a result, the dispute was quelled by the plenipotentiary representative of the President of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus Federal District, Alexander Khloponin.

In 2014, Ramzan Kadyrov often made loud statements about the annexation of Crimea to Russia and the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine. According to Kadyrov, through the Chechen diaspora in Ukraine, he negotiated the release of LifeNews journalists Marat Zaichenko and Oleg Sidyakin detained by Ukrainian security forces, which ended with the return of the journalists to Russia.

There is evidence that the participation of well-equipped Chechen detachments on the side of the DPR is Kadyrov’s personal initiative. At the same time, although the head of the Chechen Republic has repeatedly admitted that many Chechens are fighting in eastern Ukraine, he always pointed out that these are volunteers, not regular units. On July 26, 2014, for supporting the actions of the separatists, Kadyrov was included in the list of persons against whom the European Union applied sanctions in the form of an entry ban and asset freeze.

On December 6, 2014, the Security Service of Ukraine opened criminal proceedings against Kadyrov “on the fact of terrorist threats against the people’s deputies of Ukraine” Yuriy Bereza, Andrey Levus and Igor Mosiychuk after Kadyrov gave instructions to take them to Chechnya (previously the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation filed against three deputies are facing a criminal case after their approving statements about the militant attack on Grozny on December 4, 2014).

In January 2015, after a terrorist attack on the editorial office of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper in Paris, Kadyrov responded to Mikhail Khodorkovsky’s call not to leave a single “publication without a caricature of the prophet” with a message on his Instagram account, in which he called Khodorkovsky “the enemy of all Muslims in the world” and added , that in Switzerland there will be people who will “call a fugitive criminal to justice.” After Khodorkovsky’s statement, the Ekho Moskvy radio station posted a survey on its website asking whether it was necessary to publish cartoons of Muhammad in response to the terrorist attack in Paris, in which two-thirds of those who voted answered that it was necessary.

Kadyrov made a statement that the editor-in-chief of the radio station, Alexei Venediktov, “turned Ekho Moskvy into the main anti-Islamic mouthpiece,” and the authorities must call the station to order, otherwise “there will be those who will call Venediktov to account.” Venediktov and a number of commentators regarded these statements as unambiguous, albeit carefully worded, threats. On January 19, in Grozny, on Kadyrov’s initiative, a rally “Love for the Prophet Muhammad and protest against cartoons” was held. According to various estimates, several hundred thousand people took part in it, and a day off was unofficially declared in the republic. Kadyrov himself also spoke at the rally.

January 31, 2016 Ramzan Kadyrov, in which opposition figures Mikhail Kasyanov and Vladimir Kara-Murza are depicted in the crosshairs with the caption "Whoever does not understand will understand." Party co-chair Mikhail Kasyanov called Kadyrov's post a "direct threat of murder," while Kara-Murza described it as "incitement to murder."

In response, Kadyrov invited the opposition to sue him, while calling the behavior of his opponents “hysterical.”

On March 13, Kasyanov reported that the FSB refused to satisfy his application demanding that a criminal case be opened in connection with this incident, adding that “such a response from the FSB means that the head of the special services and all other law enforcement agencies, President of the Russian Federation V. Putin, approves of these methods of political struggle with me and the PARNAS Democratic Coalition."

On March 25, 2016, due to the expiration of the term of office of the Head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov was appointed by the Decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin as acting Head of the Chechen Republic.

Ramzan Kadyrov's height: 174 centimeters.

In April 2003, he was appointed Minister of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic. Under the leadership of A. Alkhanov, the system of law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic was recreated. Together with the President of the Chechen Republic A. Kadyrov, he achieved the restoration of the rights and powers of the republican Ministry of Internal Affairs.
In June 2004, A. Alkhanov took over as chairman of the Public Council for Control over the Restoration of the Economy and Social Sphere of the Chechen Republic.
On September 1, 2004, Alu Alkhanov was elected president of the Chechen Republic. 73.67 percent of voters from the total number of voting participants cast their votes for him.

Alkhanov believed that the main hope of the republic lay in the national elite, and called on the best representatives of the Chechen diaspora to take an active part in the restoration of the republic.
Alu Alkhanov placed special hopes on Chechen entrepreneurs: “Chechnya needs private capital.” And although he admitted that investments in the Chechen economy are associated with certain risks, that capital is reluctant to go to hot regions, Alkhanov promised big profits to those who decided to invest money in the industry of the republic. “You have a unique opportunity,” he said, “to build a republic from scratch, from scratch.”

Dzhokhar Musaevich Dudayev
Chapter in 1991 - 1995

A native of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic, a Chechen. Born in 1944, the same year when all Chechens were deported by order of Stalin to Kazakhstan and Central Asia. Here he spent his childhood until Khrushchev’s permission for the Chechens and Ingush to return to their homeland in 1957.
At one time he completed a physics and mathematics course, then the Tambov Higher Military Aviation School named after M. Raskova and in 1977 - the Gagarin Air Force Academy. In 1968 he joined the CPSU and did not formally leave the party. His wife is an artist, three children, a daughter and two sons. He was described by his colleagues as a tough, hot-tempered, harsh person, whose handwriting was even nervous: when he wrote, ink splashed in all directions, and the paper sometimes tore. He was also often reproached for authoritarianism and lust for power. According to his deputy Yusup Saslambekov, Dudayev was known among the Estonians (his division was stationed in Tartu) as a “rebel general” who allegedly refused to carry out the order to block television and the Estonian parliament.
Dudayev retired in May 1990, when, as they said, Chechens who came to Tartu approached him with a request for this, and headed the Executive Committee of the National Congress of the Chechen People (OCCHN), which was in opposition to the authorities. In fact, he came to power on the wave of a popular uprising, after on August 19, 1991, the Executive Committee, in the very first hours of the putsch, sided with the Russian parliament and President Yeltsin. The parliament of the republic came to its senses only on August 21 and adopted a resolution condemning the State Emergency Committee, but it was too late. Freedom Square was filled with people. They built barricades. They were recruiting for the “national guard.”
In relation to Russia, the President General used constantly changing tactics - from emphasized loyalty within the framework of economic relations (not without regular threats, however, to revise such a policy) to rather tough actions within the framework of political relations. His supporters stated that “formally, we have been at war with Russia since 1859, because no agreement was signed then.” Some experts considered his words, which he often repeated, to be programmatic: “In the event of Russia’s aggressive actions against the Chechen people, the entire Caucasus will stand on its hind legs.
On October 1, 1991, by decision of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the Chechen-Ingush Republic was divided into the Chechen and Ingush Republics (without defining borders). The decision served as a catalyst for national criminal processes and led to numerous armed clashes. With the tacit approval of Dudayev, terror began in the republic against the Russian population. With his first decree, Dudayev declared the independence of the self-proclaimed Chechen Republic of Ichkeria (CRI) from the Russian Federation, which was not recognized by either the Russian authorities or any foreign states. On November 7, Russian President Boris Yeltsin issued a decree introducing a state of emergency in Checheno-Ingushetia. In response to this, Dudayev introduced martial law in the territory under his control. The Supreme Council of Russia, where Yeltsin's opponents had the majority of seats, did not approve the presidential decree, in fact supporting the self-proclaimed republic. On March 3, 1992, Dudayev stated that Chechnya would sit down at the negotiating table with the Russian leadership only if Moscow recognized its independence, thus leading potential negotiations to a dead end. Nine days later, the CRI parliament adopted the constitution of the republic, declaring it an independent secular state.
On April 21, 1996, Russian special services detected a signal from Dudayev’s satellite phone; 2 Su-25 attack aircraft with homing missiles struck the target and eliminated Dudayev.

President of the Chechen Republic. Born on October 5, 1976 in the village of Tsentoroy, Gudermes region of Checheno-Ingushetia.

He graduated from high school in Tsentoroi.

In 2004 he graduated from the Makhachkala Institute of Business and Law.

According to official data, he did not take part in the First Chechen War (1994-1996).

After the first Chechen war, he worked since 1996, worked as an assistant and personal bodyguard of his father, the Mufti of the Chechen Republic Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov, at that time one of the leaders of the seratist and anti-Russian movement in Chechnya, who declared “jihad” on Russia. In 1992-1999 father and son Kadyrovs were considered supporters at first Dzhokhara Dudayeva, and after his death in 1996 - Aslana Maskhadova.

In 1999 A. Kadyrov He and his son went over to the side of the federal troops and became a fighter against separatism.

In 2000 R. Kadyrov headed the security service A. Kadyrov- head of the administration, and then - president of Chechnya.

On May 12, 2000, he survived his first assassination attempt - on the federal highway "Caucasus" on the eastern outskirts of Grozny, next to R. Kadyrov's jeep, an explosive device went off. He suffered a slight concussion. Akhmat Kadyrov accused of organizing the assassination attempt Aslana Maskhadova.

On January 16, 2001, terrorists planted a bomb in a drainage under the Caucasus federal highway along the route R. Kadyrov in the vicinity of Gudermes. Kadyrov and his escort escaped with bruises.

On September 30, 2002, unknown persons fired at a car. Ramzan in the village of Novogroznensky, Gudermes district of Chechnya. One of his subordinates was wounded.

On March 22, 2003, he announced that he had managed to negotiate the voluntary surrender of 46 armed militants who had laid down their arms under the personal guarantees of his father. Most of the militants who agreed to stop armed resistance were enlisted in the security service Akhmat Kadyrov .

July 17, 2003 stated that he managed to convince 40 militants from among his personal guards Maskhadova voluntarily lay down arms. In addition, he claimed that he entered into negotiations with separatists from the detachment Ruslana Gelayeva, 170 of whose fighters expressed their readiness to lay down their arms.

July 27, 2003 in the village of Tsotsan-Yurt, Kurchaloevsky district - another attempt to blow up R. Kadyrov- the security interfered. The suicide bomber herself and a local resident were killed.

In September 2003, at a press conference in Moscow, the presidential candidate of Chechnya Malik Saidullaev stated that his assistants are being kidnapped and tortured, and that he is personally involved in this Ramzan Kadyrov.

Similar accusations against Kadyrov were not isolated. For example, on the website vip.lenta.ru it was stated that “Kadyrov Jr.’s detachments became a more terrible punishment for the Chechens than the detachments of Russian soldiers and policemen, that Kadyrov’s thugs tortured and kidnapped people, putting cruel skills and habits acquired in Russia at the service of Russia.” service of the separatists."

November 30, 2003 Ramzan Kadyrov announced that a group of Chechen businessmen had offered a $5 million reward for reliable information about the whereabouts of Shamilya Basayeva, and promised to catch the terrorist by 2004.

On May 13, 2004, at a joint meeting of the State Council and the Government of Chechnya, an appeal was adopted to Putin with a request to support the nomination Kadyrov for the post of President of Chechnya and take “all measures to remove obstacles to his registration.” According to the Constitution of Chechnya, Kadyrov did not have the right to run for president, since he was under 30 years old. Head of the Presidential Administration and Government of the Republic of Chechnya Ziyad Sabsabi stated: “Chechnya is an exceptional region, non-standard decisions can be made here. And the Russian President, who has great powers, may find an opportunity to satisfy our request.” Myself Kadyrov in an interview with reporters, he said that he “won’t be able to become president.” However, answering the question: “What if the people ask?”, Kadyrov replied: “Where can you go if the people say?”

On June 2, 2004, Kommersant wrote: “The Kremlin has already decided on the presidential candidate of Chechnya. As sources in the circle assured Ramzan Kadyrov, we were talking about the Minister of Internal Affairs of Chechnya Alu Alkhanov, person Akhmat Kadyrov and a still virtually unknown figure. His candidacy was proposed to Putin by Kadyrov Jr." (Kommersant, June 2, 2004)

June 7, 2004 Kadyrov addressed the militants on a local television channel with an ultimatum, in which he invited them to lay down their arms within three days and voluntarily surrender to the authorities. "Otherwise, you will be destroyed. You were given the opportunity for a long time to report to law enforcement agencies, lay down your arms and return to peaceful life. If you refused this, then your choice is conscious, and there is no other way than to destroy you, you don’t leave,” he warned. In June 2004, in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper, he said: “Bandits and criminals are afraid of me, whether they are in uniform or without them. Ordinary people have nothing to fear from me. They treated me and treat me normally, with respect. Thousands and thousands of people came at my father’s funeral. Isn’t this proof that the Kadyrovs are treated well in Chechnya? It wasn’t Kadyrov who first spoke about the danger of the Wahhabis. Muhammad warned that such people would come and we should not talk to them, but destroy them. My father explained that wherever there are Wahhabis, there will be evil and blood. Of course, my father understood perfectly well what the war with them threatened him with. He admitted that he had set himself up, his family and all his relatives. He said that he did it deliberately - for the sake of the people."

June 10, 2004 Ramzan Kadyrov stated: " Alkhanov- a worthy colleague Akhmat Kadyrov, his candidacy was unanimously chosen by supporters of the late president of Chechnya." (Gazeta.ru, June 10, 2004)

On July 13, 2004, during a battle in the vicinity of the village of Avtury (Shalinsky district), six employees of the security service of the President of Chechnya were killed, 12 were captured and captured. On September 17, 2004, the Ulyanovsk Regional Pardon Commission decided to pardon the former colonel Yuri Budanov, who was serving a sentence for the murder of a Chechen girl, with the full return of his rank and awards. In this regard, Kadyrov said: “If Budanov leaves prison early, thousands of peers could take to the streets of Grozny Elsa Kungaeva who today demand to be punished Maskhadov and Basayev for the terrorist attacks committed and for which Budanov is the same criminal as these terrorist leaders... There is no difference between Basaev and Budanov, for both of them are guilty of killing civilians. The decision of the Ulyanovsk commission is a spit in the soul of the long-suffering Chechen people." Kadyrov's following statement was also widely quoted in the press: "If this (Budanov's pardon) happens, we will find an opportunity to give him what he deserves."

At the end of September 2004, in the Nozhai-Yurt district of Chechnya, an operation of special forces of the Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs began to encircle the gang Akhmed Avdorkhanov, among whose members Maskhadov was supposed to be. The operation was headed by Kadyrov. On September 30, he said that Maskhadov was among the surviving bandits and “will be caught within a week.” However, the deputy head of the FSB Directorate for Chechnya, Alexander Potapov, said: “Firstly, apart from assumptions, there is no reliable information that Aslan Maskhadov is in the place where they are looking for him today. And secondly, even if he was there, he has already has escaped the encirclement and it will be very difficult to catch or eliminate him.” Within a week Maskhadov was not caught.

Inauguration took place on October 5, 2004 Alkhanov. I received the presidential certificate not from the hands of the chairman of the election commission, as is usually the case, but directly from Ramzan Kadyrov.

Immediately after taking office Alkhanov sent the government of Chechnya headed by Sergei Abramov in full force resigned, immediately appointing Abramov as acting. chairman of the new government. Shortly before the inauguration, Alkhanov said that Abramov and Ramzan Kadyrov “will remain in their posts.”

On October 19, 2004, he was appointed Advisor to the Presidential Plenipotentiary Representative in the Southern Federal District Dmitry Kozak. This position did not provide significant powers, but seriously changed the administrative status Kadyrov. First of all, because in the eyes of the majority of Chechen officials, Kadyrov began to look like a representative of the federal government.

On October 22, 2004, speaking about the results of the operation in the Kurchaloevsky, Gudermes, Nozhai-Yurtovsky districts of Chechnya, he stated that “among a large group of militants was Basayev himself, his personal guard was seriously wounded Akhmed Avdorkhanov. In total, more than 20 militants were killed, 5 bandits were detained.” In addition, Kadyrov argued that Aslan Maskhadov ready to give up and looking for a way out to the “federal center.”

Maskhadov's representative Usman Ferzauli said on this occasion that rumors about the surrender of his boss are being spread for propaganda purposes: “They have nothing else left - they cannot catch him.” (Kommersant, October 23, 2004)

At the end of October 2004, the weekly "Arguments and Facts" published an interview with Dmitry Rogozin, in which he said about Kadyrov: “On central television they constantly show Kadyrov Jr., who every now and then cheekily pats the Chechen President Alkhanov on the back. But what, one of our security officials or ministers can guarantee that “our Kadyrov” with with his 10 thousand bearded eagles will he always be loyal to Russia? I myself watched in surprise, driving along New Arbat, how this guy, apparently deciding to have dinner, blocked the center of Moscow with an armored ZIL and ten security cars accompanying him with flashing lights. This is how he demonstrates! “that he considers himself the new master of Russia. Unfortunately, this is also a sure sign of the weakness of the federal government, which is currying favor with its former Chechen brothers.”

On November 4, 2004, Kadyrov said: “If an order is received to eliminate terrorists in Pankisi [the Pankisi Gorge in Georgia, where Chechen bandits were believed to be hiding], it will be carried out immediately.” President of Georgia Mikheil Saakashvili When asked to comment on this statement, he said: “What comment can be made on the statement of some bandit! He does not represent the Chechen people, and I do not welcome his presence in Georgia.”

In November 2004, in an interview with the Mze television company, he stated that 5 thousand Chechens were ready to enter Tskhinvali to maintain peace in this region and that representatives of South Ossetia had approached him with a corresponding request.

December 7, 2004 Prosecutor of Chechnya Vladimir Kravchenko reported that the republic’s security forces began “full checks of compliance with the law in the field of payment of compensation” for destroyed housing, in which incredible corruption reigned. Shortly before this, Kadyrov was appointed head of the compensation commission. On December 10, 2004, he said: “The first arrests have already been made; the intermediaries who received money from the applicants, promising to speed up the process of inclusion in the list and receipt of compensation, have been detained.” Kadyrov also promised that he would force these individuals to “return all illegally received money” and publicly announce the names of those involved in fraud with compensation payments.

December 29, 2004 Putin awarded Kadyrov the title of Hero of the Russian Federation "for courage and heroism shown in the performance of his official duty." On January 10, 2005, in the Khasavyurt district of Dagestan, the car in which Kadyrov’s sister Zulay Kadyrova was located was stopped by officers of the local police department, who took her to the police department without explanation. According to other sources, either she or her guard did not have documents with them. In general, there were many discrepancies in reports about this incident. At the police department, Zulay's arm appears to have been broken (or, according to the police, she herself fell during an asthma attack and injured it). According to the Chechen side, a group of Chechen Ministry of Internal Affairs officers headed by the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs went to the scene of the incident. Khamzat Guseinov, who “asked his colleagues to give an explanation about the incident and returned to Chechnya with Kadyrova.” According to the Dagestanis, “the clarification of the circumstances of the case was interrupted by the invasion of the city by armed people led by Ramzan Kadyrov. Some of them broke into the building of the GOVD, took with them the persons they had brought in and departed towards Chechnya.” At the same time, several Dagestani policemen were beaten.

In early January 2005, Chechen separatist leaders sent a letter to members of the European Parliament claiming that Russian authorities had “kidnapped” Maskhadov’s relatives: two brothers, a sister, a nephew and a cousin. The authors of the letter linked the “kidnapping” with the statement of the Prosecutor General Vladimir Ustinov that relatives of terrorists should be held accountable for the crimes of their loved ones. The International Federation for Human Rights and the Helsinki Group also announced the capture of eight relatives of Maskhadov. (Izvestia, January 11, 2005; ITAR-TASS, January 20, 2005)

Human rights activists claimed that Maskhadov’s relatives were captured on Kadyrov’s orders in order to force the president of Ichkeria to surrender.

Kadyrov responded by saying that “the official security forces of Chechnya and law enforcement agencies have nothing to do with the disappearance of Maskhadov’s relatives.” According to him, this became clear after “a thorough check and investigation carried out on his instructions on the territory of the republic.” (ITAR-TASS, January 20, 2005)

January 25, 2005 along with Sergei Abramov participated in the ceremony of laying the first stone in the foundation of the future water park named after. Zelimkhan Kadyrov in Gudermes. Pop singers also took part in the ceremony Glucose and TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak. Money for construction was allocated by a charitable foundation named after Akhmat Kadyrov. At the beginning of February 2005, at the invitation of Sobchak, Kadyrov attended the fashion award ceremony “Crystal Image Fashion TV”.

According to Vlast magazine, in the end the federal authorities actually took sides Gantamirova: his family home was guarded by SOBR soldiers, and his relatives also received protection, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among Chechen officials. June 11, 2005 Dmitry Rogozin in a report at the congress of the Rodina party, he stated: “Power in Chechnya has again been seized by legalized militants, it doesn’t matter that the local king of beasts with the hero’s star on his chest brazenly takes credit for the victory of the army Special Forces, and in the intervals between interviews he seduces the impregnable beauty Sobchak.” (Rodina.ru, May 11, 2005)

On June 25, 2005, celebrations took place in Gudermes on the occasion of awarding Kadyrov the title of Hero of Russia. Famous representatives of the Russian stage took part in the festive events Nikolai Baskov and Diana Gurtskaya, who, by decree of the President of Chechnya, was awarded the title of Honored Artist of the Chechen Republic. (Interfax, June 25, 2005)

On June 27, 2005, he was appointed head of the Commission of the Chechen Republic for resolving the situation in the village Borozdinovskaya, where a “cleansing operation” was carried out on June 4, as a result of which 12 people went missing.

On July 11, 2005, the weekly Vlast published a long interview with Kadyrov, in which he said: “The special forces regiment named after my father - almost 90% of them were former militants. These militants were defenders of the people, they were simply misused... . Dudayev was born not by Chechnya, but by Russia. He was sent to Chechnya by certain people, Maskhadov was their colonel, and now the leadership of Russia has changed - praise the Almighty that he is in this position now. President Putin, who wants to end the war. And in 1991, in 1992, the then leaders started this war. And President Putin is not indifferent to the fate of Chechnya. Therefore, he supported a law that would amnesty these people. And we. We don’t want to kill them. We want to save our people, the whole, united Chechen people. They were used incorrectly. If they want to protect the people, if they want to follow the path of Allah, then they must be with us. We explained to them that they were being used contrary to our customs. They understood this. And if one of the military says that militants who came out of the forest on their own need to be punished, they are speaking incorrectly. The State Duma adopted an amnesty law, and these people have rights like all other people. We must forget the labels that were given to them: militants, terrorists. They are normal people, citizens of the Chechen Republic who want peace."

On July 13, 2005, he resigned as chairman of the state commission to resolve the situation in the village. Prime Minister of Chechnya Sergey Abramov stated that Kadyrov fully coped with the tasks assigned to him, the main one of which was the return of refugees.

On July 13, 2005, he accused the Federal Agency for Construction and Housing and Communal Services of stealing budget funds allocated for the payment of monetary compensation for lost housing and property in Chechnya: “Rosstroy stole the allocated budget money for restoration and is now stealing compensation money, and in everything blames the Chechen government," Kadyrov said. Rosstroy denied this information and stated that the lists were approved by a commission of the Chechen government and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Rosstroy only allocated money.

On August 2, 2005, gambling was outlawed in the republic. He gave the owners of toy libraries a week to dismantle the equipment: “I give one week to these would-be entrepreneurs. Otherwise, I will destroy these installations myself.” According to him, “gambling is contrary to the norms of Islam and has a negative impact on the education of the younger generation.” He denied rumors that he himself is the owner of slot machines.

On August 4, 2005, the council of imams of Chechnya adopted a fatwa (religious decree) on the fight against Wahhabis. Kadyrov said: "I welcome this decision. Law enforcement officials must be sure that their actions do not contradict the Koran and Islam."

On September 22, 2005, he spoke at a press conference in Gudermes. He said that “in any region of Russia, Chechens are persecuted for no reason, taken to the police, they are mocked for far-fetched reasons. And the only reason is that they are Chechens.” Then he moved on to criticize the work of Russian police officers sent to Chechnya: “They never leave the police department, not a single resident of the republic knows them by sight, they do not know the operational situation and cannot influence the situation in their stations.” Noting that a full-fledged Ministry of Internal Affairs had been created in Chechnya, Kadyrov said that the time had come to transfer the counter-terrorism operation under his control. He promised, after the election of parliament, to raise the issue of the administrative borders of Chechnya with Ingushetia and Dagestan. In conclusion, Kadyrov criticized the work of all ministers, suggesting that the president Alkhanov draw conclusions.

Also Kadyrov said: “The President of Chechnya, the government, the heads of district administrations together must openly declare that Chechen oil, which is one of the most expensive in the world, is being exported and sold, and this money must be used to demand the restoration of the republic.” The Russian government was blamed for the lack of progress in the restoration of Chechnya. According to Kadyrov, “Russian officials have no patriotism, no concern for the state,” so they ignored Putin’s orders regarding Chechnya: “The head of state gives them clear instructions, but they do nothing.”

Kommersant cited the words of an unnamed “source” from the Chechen government: “This is, in fact, a pre-election speech. And here no one doubts that in a year Ramzan will take the place of president.”

On October 12, 2005, Kadyrov stated: “The President of the Chechen Republic Alu Alkhanov, speaking about the increasing cases of kidnappings, set us the task of turning the situation around by any means. I discussed these tasks with the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic and at the same time gave an unequivocal order to destroy any vehicles involved in kidnappings."
