Ramzan I
March 1, 2006 Julia Latynina
The Prime Minister of Chechnya Sergei Abramov resigned, with the eastern modesty, wishing that his respected deputy Ramzan Kadyrov would become his successor.
Russia was immediately in itself from the process: in Chechnya the world, and why in some republic to appoint some prime ministers? - They made it clear from the Kremlin. Let themselves be appointed in the republic. Here in the Ivanovo region, the head of government from the Kremlin is not appointed, this is not a federal case.
With this approach to the premiere’s issue, naturally, this is Ramzan Kadyrov . I would like to look at the person who in Chechnya will decide to offer another candidate. What will happen to him: they will flood right away in indignation or he himself will die in place from a heart attack.
Well, Kadyrov is a true owner of Chechnya, and his power over this republic is not based on such stupid things as the status of the prime minister or president. She is based on the opportunity to do with her subjects, including the closest associates, anything and anywhere.
Chechnya under Kadyrov enjoys more independence from Moscow than in Maskhadov. The federals are afraid to stick out their nose and get drunk behind the walls of Hankala, which turned from a military base into a reservation.
Chechnya receives a tribute from Russia - the same as Bulgarians from Byzantium or Huns from China. The appointment of this tribute is not known perhaps the envoy to the Kozaku, who offers to introduce financial control in the subsidized regions. But it is known to any Chechen who knows the bets: 20% of the rollback - if the house was, 50% of the rollback - if there was not at home. In Chechnya, compensation was paid for 500 thousand destroyed apartments and 140 thousand private households - there was simply no so much in the pre -war Chechnya.
Sharia is planted in Chechnya: a casino is prohibited, alcohol is forbidden, even mobile phones are checked, according to which married women de-deems whisper to the compassions of former boyfriends. The process is given by some piquancy that Kadyrov himself is not particularly strict in behavior. Chechnya is a small republic, and many, shouting loudly “Hurray” Ramzan, whisper begin to discuss the thickness of a pack of money flying under their feet to the singers in Moscow restaurants.
And Kadyrov does not particularly hide his attitude to the Russians. What is one, retold by all Chechnya, the phrase that he does not respect Imam Shamil, who surrendered to the wrong dogs.
Boris Berezovsky, who at one time handed over to Basayev $ 2 million and bought out of captivity of abducted Russian soldiers, did the same as Vladimir Putin: he gave money to Chechen militants in the hope that this Chechechens would tame. At the same time, a capital mismatch arose in cultural codes. Because it is the main one from the point of view of a businessman is the one who pays money. And from the point of view of the bandit, the main one is the one to whom the money is paid.
Boris Berezovsky paid money to Basayev and Maskhadov and thought that he was their master. And to put it mildly, I was mistaken. Now Putin pays money to Kadyrov and thinks that he, Putin, is more important.
It is extremely stupid to call Kadyrov mediocrity, a person who was proud of power, or, moreover, a Russian puppet. Kadyrov succeeded that Dudaev and Maskhadov managed to build a centralized Chechen state. For the first time in the history of Chechnya. Kadyrov succeeded that Cesare Borgia failed to maintain power after the death of his father.
And this is very no coincidence that Kadyrov’s time came under Putin.
Whatever the Yeltsin regime, no matter how erroneous and mediocre war in Chechnya is, nevertheless, this regime called a cat a cat. He began the war because he decided that Dudaev was going out of Russia's control. Meanwhile, Dudaev before the war did not even dream of what Kadyrov could afford.
Kadyrov is one of the few people who know the main secret of the Putin regime: this regime is ready to close their eyes to everything.
More precisely, many know this secret. The Chekists who killed hostages in Beslan and received encouragement for this, the Minister of Defense, who failed the reform of the army and reasoning that in the "Devil's fault is to blame for the kindergarten", PR managers who spent money for Ukrainian elections and explaining that the United States lost.
But the vast majority of people who know this secret use it to explain their failures. Ramzan Kadyrov is one of the few who uses him to increase his power. Julia Latynina
