Ramzan Kadyrov: Putin's Chechen ally
Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW)
@centreforeasternstudiesAbout
🔵 The Centre for Eastern Studies (OSW) was founded in 1990 in Warsaw. It began by grouping leading regional experts on the Soviet Union. Following its collapse, our focus remained on Russia, the Baltic states, the Caucasus and Central Asia, with attention paid to energy and military security. 🔵 Since then we have expanded to cover Central Europe, Turkey, the Middle East, China, Germany and the Nordic countries. In challenging times, we provide insightful analysis of the Russian war in Ukraine and its wider consequences, for example on energy security in the EU. 🎬 Polish YouTube channel ➡️ https://www.youtube.com/@OSWOsrodekStudiowWschodnich/featured

Video Description
Ramzan Kadyrov leads Russia's republic of Chechnya. He is sometimes called a warlord, sometimes Putin's soldier. He took the reins from his father in Chechnya: Akhmad Kadyrov, who switched sides during the Second Chechen War, offering his services to Russia. After he was assassinated, his son Ramzan took over. His ambitions have seen him attempt to treat Chechnya as his personal property and make claims to represent all the Muslims of the Caucasus and even all of Russia's Muslims. He has used lawlessness during his brutal rule and has made enemies in Russia, but is protected by Vladimir Putin. Is he a puppet? An independent player? Or just a necessary evil? What part has been played by Chechnya in the Russia-Ukraine war? Would Russia have to fear Kadyrov if Putin leaves office? 🔵 Subscribe and turn on notifications 🔔 so you don't miss any videos: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnfLqjUU_ageYYUwzErx7uA 🔵 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/OSW_eng ➡️ More OSW long-form reports and analysis in English here: https://www.osw.waw.pl/en
