Kadyrov's principle

* * Kadyrov's principle. The President of Chechnya reconciled with Issu Yamadayev, who until the last accused him of killing his brother Ruslan, State Duma deputy, and organizing the attempt on Sulim, and a former commander of the Vostok battalion. Now the Yamadaevs, who yesterday called the head of Chechnya just as a killer, and he - schizophrenics, blame journalists in everything: de, the media are not understood by the media. Ramzan Kadyrov once again proved the effectiveness of the power system he created: his opponents either reconcile with him or pass away. The New Times drove along the Kadyrovskaya Chechnya
Terrible, which until recently could serve as an illustration of the film about the Second World War, pleases the eye with new landscapes reminiscent of Arabic tales and eastern miracles. Above stylish multi -colored facades, flags and banners cut. Against the backdrop of seething fountains - floors of growing skyscrapers. The streets are covered with posters with quotes from Vladimir Putin and Akhmat Kadyrov. Only the slogan “Ramzan. Thanks for the Grozny. "

On the Central Square, the largest mosque “Chechnya’s heart” in Europe, containing more than 10 thousand prayers, decorated with rare breeds of marble. “36 chandeliers symbolize the main shrines of the Muslim world,” the guide of Vakha enthusiastically lists. - They are from Swarovski crystal, and several kilos of gold of the highest sample took the finish! ”

Brilliant foreign cars rush along Putin Avenue, the police in white shirts look after order. A luxurious indoor skating rink was built for children. A dozen local grandmothers and the federals who came from the “great land” came to the renovated Orthodox Church on holidays. In the spring, two new memorials opened in the city center - “Glory” and memory who died in the fight against terrorism. In the last golden letters, the Testament of Akhmat Kadyrov is immortalized: "Let justice triumph." It is difficult to get rid of the feeling that you are looking at a glossy postcard or an advertising booklet.

However, in this fairy tale you can see terrible details. On the roofs of the complex of government buildings, long-term firing points bristled large-caliber machine guns, in some places, ruins in traces from bombs and shells are still visible due to fences, and the billboards of humanitarian missions warn about mines on the roads. Policeers prefer to watch one at a time. Last year, a wave of terrorist attacks swept through the republic: suicide bombers exploded along with police posts, and police officers believe that the lonely guards will not seem to terrorists an attractive target.

Most women who are on the streets hide their hair under the scarves-hijabs. At the same time, many Chechens wear high heels and relatively short skirts, use cosmetics. Often there are ladies driving prestigious cars. “A few months ago, some“ folk avengers, ”the Chechenka Asinat, explained the fashion for hats, explained the fashion for hats. - They rode around the city and shot women with their heads with their heads with paint. If someone began to be indignant, they could beat. Judging by the numbers, the cars belonged to the fighters of the Kadyrov’s units. ”
The abundance of expensive foreign cars Grozny, always complaining of poverty, explain simply: "You" left ", came to us." Most often, stolen cars are drunk through the neighboring Ingushetia - the center of the state business in the country. It is not difficult to distinguish cars of the most “coolest” Chechens according to the number of a license plate - KRA, the initials of the president. They say that they are given only by personal order of Ramzan Akhmatovich. Such machines never inspect and pass everywhere.

Kadyrov really succeeds

After the regime of the counter -terrorist operation was canceled in Chechnya, there are almost no checkpoints left on the roads of the republic. Even in small settlements, you can go through the streets without much fear. All oncoming ones easily enter into a conversation and talk about their problems. “We do not have a sports hall,” a schoolboy from the village of New Atagi complains. “But the martial arts club works.” In adults, experiences of a different scale - per day in the atages of three funerals at once. “After the war, a wave of deaths covered the republic,” the locals complain. “We bury almost every day.” Many are sure that the military is to blame for this. They talk about toxic drugs that sprayed the “green” from helicopters so that the leaves fall and do not interfere with the review. Others accuse the federals of using prohibited types of chemical weapons. Russian security forces repel charges with stories about hundreds and even thousands of “moonshine” - artisanal oil distillation plants, which for many years threw into the atmosphere the harmful waste production waste. “People lived in terrible tension for a very long time, and now all the sores have appeared in them,” Eduard Zakaev, head of the Shali district, expressed his version. “There are a lot of cancer patients, there are cores and other severe patients.”

Akhmat Kadyrov Avenue was restored in Grozny one of the first

If two or three years ago the main theme of the conversation was the attacks and clashes of militants with the federals, now household problems have come to the fore. “The Argun River was shallow,” Aksakal Musl from Chiri-Yurt is upset. - With water interruptions. For a long time they promise to make several wells, but their hands will not reach. How are we? If you enter the office of the head of the administration and you can ask for something-there is a chance what they will do. If there are no relatives and connections “upstairs” - you will wait until the complete victory of Islam around the world. ”

Despite the recent success of the special services (they managed to capture the field commander of Magas, who, according to rumors, in exchange for life, issued the whereabouts of the leader of the terrorists of Doku Umarov), it is not possible to finally turn the situation. According to unofficial data, the number of gangs is even growing. The shelling of the "bearded" motorcadons, patrols and posts of the federals remained ordinary. The republic says that the authorities hide the true number of terrorist attacks. Officials, in turn, argue that the main problems are shifted from the law enforcement sphere to the economic one. According to the chairman of the Chechnya Parliament, Dukuvahi Abdurahmanov, the situation in the republic is stable, and minor groups of the militants remained in the Vvedensky, Shata districts and on the border with Ingushetia, but they do not pose a real threat. “In order to shift them, you just need to reconfigure one of the space surveillance satellites to work on the territory of the republic,” the Abdurahmanov project suggested in a conversation with The New Times. The speaker believes that with unemployment of 330 thousand people per 1.2 million population, the appearance of aggressively tuned loners should not surprise. Someone went to the forest for money. Others are intimidated. Still others arrived from abroad. “But by these individuals it is impossible to judge the people who have reached unprecedented unity,” he says. “Industry completely destroyed during the war begins to work.” The budget of Chechnya in 2010 is more than 50 billion rubles. Local taxes - from 4 to 8 billion, the remaining funds come from the federal budget. But, according to officials, the amount of subsidies is comparable to income from the production of Chechen oil, which go to the treasury of Russia. And therefore, it is impossible to say that Chechnya lives at the expense of Russia. According to the Ministry of Finance of the Chechen Republic, its budget in 2010 will amount to 56.9 billion rubles. Of these, over 52 billion (91%) are transfers and gratuitous income from the center, about 4.9 billion are local taxes. The license for the production of Chechen oil belongs to Rosneft. According to various sources, it produces from 1.5 to 2 million tons of oil in the republic, which is entirely exported. Potential income from its sale at current prices can be 20–25 billion rubles. “Muscovites often forget that the capital itself does not earn anything! - says the guide of Waha. - Do you know where the firewood comes from in Hankalu (place of the main deployment of military units. - The New Times)? From Siberia! And potatoes from Belarus. Although our farmers could provide parts with everything necessary. The only ram that can somehow negotiate with the center and find mutual understanding with Vladimir Putin is President Ramzan Kadyrov. ”

Kadyrov really manages to solve many issues with a fantastic, by the standards of the rest of the country, speed. Blood schools are built in 2-3 months. Roads are laid out of the calculation of a centenary of unconscious use. If officials do not cope with the task, they are removed from the post, select all property and at home, deprive any privileges. If the money allocated for work is not enough, the responsible for the object invests his personal savings.
One of the most fashionable professions in the republic is the guardian of the law. But the backbone of local law enforcement agencies is composed of amnested militants who descended from the mountains, and recently the indignant voices of their young colleagues have been heard louder. “Officially, my salary is almost 25 thousand,” says a fighter in the form of an oil regiment, a detachment of non -departmental security, responsible for the safety of the republic’s oil complex. - However, for this amount I only sign in the statement. At best, half is given in hand. Sometimes you have to buy cartridges and uniforms for your blood. Although the fight against militants is not included in our tasks, it is the regiment’s employees who often drive the mountains and blocking possible gang groups into forests and mountains. If you manage to detain someone, the Kadyrovsky jump comes with a hole for the order. ”

Behind the facade
Most Chechens, when asked about the head of the republic, instantly begin to offer Kadyrov Jr. praise. Arguments can be diametrically opposite: “restored the world”, “defeated the Russians and now Chechnya receives reparations”, “Fair and good leader”, “A real man - he filled up all enemies”, etc. But there are those who express dissatisfaction with a quiet whisper. “The republic has a terrible level of corruption,” says one of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who asked not to name his name. - Ramzan put his people everywhere, based not from their experience or talents, but given only the factor of personal devotion. His guardsmen, dressed in black, do everything they want. They take their favorite women by force, they “squeeze” the business, and if someone is trying to resist, they kill and then receive medals for the destruction of the next “action movie”. Kadyrov, apparently, was already tired of all this. He tries to fight the lawmakers, sometimes hits his face, breaks shoulder straps. But this no longer helps. Polygamy was almost officially introduced in the republic. The President has repeatedly expressed the opinion that there is no need to severely punish people who have scored a wrong wife with stones. Since for many years it has been forbidden to trade in alcohol, drug trafficking has blossomed magnificently. Everything is kept only on strength. But power has a boundaries. And Kadyrov himself had a persecution mania of persecution several years ago. There are rumors that recently he, on suspicion of preparing a conspiracy, tortured two commanders from his guard. Allegedly, they cut off the head with one and put it on a stake, and the other fed the Leo alive. They say that the record of this crime fell on the table to President Medvedev, after which he avoided meetings with Ramzan Akhmatovich for a long time. ”

Alexey Malashenko, Member of the Scientific Council of the Moscow Center of Carnegie:
It is very difficult to write about Chechnya without emotion. The processes occurring inside the republic are too contradictory. And yet, what do we see today?
Firstly, Ramzan’s obvious success is achieved at a very high price. He is respected, but also afraid. Fear is not the best ally for the consolidation of society around the leader. However, he continues to “squeeze the spring”, remaining in full confidence that it will never break.
Secondly, the successes of the Chechen reconstruction and stability are “tied” on one person. Systems that would guarantee this stability is not formed. Hence the well -known fragility of the Chechen situation. Thirdly, Ramzan violated the balance of forces between local clans. The Chechen political tradition is based on consensus. The current rule is the rule of one person, one person, albeit so extraordinary. But sooner or later the “clan factor” will come out.
Fourth, he chose Islam as one of the consolidation tools. But religion in politics is a mutual weapon. The experience of almost all Muslim countries indicates that opponents of the regime, the opposition use this weapon much more successfully than the rulers themselves. Islamizing Chechnya, Ramzan creates favorable conditions for its opponents.
Fifthly, in the relationship between Kadyrov and the federal center, the personal factor is still too important. No one doubts the duration of Vladimir Putin’s power, but not everyone in Moscow with such sympathy relate to Kadyrov. Some of whom Ramzan causes hostility, and for a long time.
Nevertheless, so far Ramzan is considered a successful, even a very successful politician. It is believed that he is not alternative, and no one is going to look for it. The question is how, how he will continue to implement his policy. There will be many underwater, and surface stones in his way.
