Ramzan Kadyrov disappeared for several weeks
In January, Ramzan Kadyrov did not appear at public events for at least 18 consecutive days, the analysis of publications in his blog and on the website of the Chechen-Inform State Agency, conducted by the Agency, testifies.
Details . Kadyrov published the latest reports about events with his participation before a long break on January 8. Then he said that he took part in the opening ceremony of the memorial to Father Akhmat Kadyrov and instructed the central part of Grozny. On the same day, he participated in a meeting with the commanders of the units and the heads of the district departments of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
- ️ After this reports about events with the participation of Kadyrov in his telegram channel and in the official Chechen news agency "Grozny-Inform" did not appear until January 26. On this day, the head of Chechnya said that he visited the rehearsal of the Nokhcho folklore ensemble.
- ️ In the video published by Kadyrov, he and the head of the ensemble Amin Akhmadova are sitting in an empty auditorium. This publication can be “canned” (as journalists call reports on the activities of high -ranking officials who are recorded in advance and published when it is necessary to hide a long absence of an official). Kadyrov’s clothes may indicate this: he is dressed in a sweatshirt in a sweatshirt and a vest - quite cold clothes for this time of the year (January 26 in Grozny was up to +4 degrees). For example, on January 6, when in Grozny there were up to +3 degrees, the head of Chechnya wore a jacket, and he put on a water vest with a sweatshirt on January 8, when the temperature rose to +7. In a similar vest, like January 26, he appeared in the video on January 6, 2024: then in Grozny there were up to +10 degrees.

- ️ At the beginning of last year, Kadyrov also disappeared from the public field for 18 days, publications in his telegram channel testify. On January 10, 2024, he published a post on the participation of a capsule laying in the ceremony for the construction of a cottage village and a meeting with officials, after which posts about his public events ceased to appear. The first event after a long break was a visit to the performance of the same Nokhcho ensemble, but then it was about the appearance of the head of the republic at a concert, where there were other spectators.
Context . Some disappearance of Kadyrov from the public field can be explained by health problems. For example, he ceased to appear in public in the fall of 2023. As the New Gazeta Europe later wrote, the head of Chechnya was hospitalized at the Central Design Bureau of the Presidential Administration in Moscow. According to the newspaper, in 2019, the head of Chechnya was diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis, and "state of health ... leaves no hope of its cure." Kadyrov himself in October 2023 said that he was "absolutely healthy."
