The newspaper “Novaya Gazeta” wrote, “The health condition of 47-year-old Ramzan Kadyrov leaves no hope for recovery,” stressing that now is a difficult moment for Moscow, which will have to find a successor to the dictator and maintain stability in Chechnya. After changes in higher power. It is worth noting that the leader was absent from important events in Russia, and the Kremlin tried to cover up his malaise from the beginning. Meanwhile, as the newspaper's source reported, his relatives explained that “the disease will seriously affect him. Even if he recovers now, he will be neither alive nor dead.”
The Kremlin hid Kadyrov's illness
Kadyrov's health deteriorated rapidly in September 2023. The leader was then hospitalized with acute lung failure. This was supposed to lead, among other things, to an overdose of tranquilizers. Other reports emerged in February of this year. The pancreatic disease was to be accompanied by kidney problems, and the patient was to be placed in a medically induced coma. Changes in appearance (such as facial swelling and stomach distension) were also noted.
Kadyrov began to miss important events. He did not appear, among other things: in December 2023 at a conference in Moscow, where delegates supported Putin's candidacy in the presidential elections. Important politicians from Russia, led by Vladimir Putin himself, are allegedly involved in covering up the leader's illness. The meetings were organized only to take pictures with the supposedly healthy Kadyrov. Long business trips were invented.
Novaya Gazeta confirms that the time has come to determine who will replace Kadyrov in his position. He indicates that it may be the commander of the Chechen special forces “Akhmat” (which conduct combat operations in Ukraine), General Apte Alaudinov. It was he who represented Chechnya, instead of Kadyrov, at the 21st United Russia Congress in December 2023. The achievements of the leader, nicknamed “Kadyrov's second brother”, include, among others: allegations of human rights violations. In Poland, he is subject to sanctions as an “undesirable person.”
