Possible replacement of the leader of Chechnya
The Kremlin is considering a possible replacement for the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, who is facing health issues, particularly with his kidneys. Kadyrov's resignation could significantly impact the political situation in the region. It is known that Kadyrov's son will not be able to become the new leader of Chechnya, as Russian President Vladimir Putin has avoided appointing relatives to leadership positions. This opens up opportunities for other candidates, particularly representatives of the Kadyrov clan, such as Daudov and Delimkhanov.
Kremlin's control over Chechnya
The Kremlin aims to control the transition of power in Chechnya and likely intends to reduce the region's autonomy. Kadyrov's death could limit the criminal opportunities for Chechens in Russia, which also plays an important role in the Kremlin's plans for the future. Alaudinov, although a representative of another clan, has low chances of being appointed due to the existing political circumstances.
In the event of Kadyrov's resignation, the key figures who may claim his place remain Daudov and Delimkhanov, and further changes in the political landscape of Chechnya could lead to significant consequences for the region and its autonomy. The issue of governing Chechnya has long raised concerns in Moscow, and a change of leader could be an important step in strengthening centralized control and reducing the influence of local clans on politics.
This could also reflect broader trends in Russian politics, where the Kremlin seeks to maintain stability and control in regions with potential conflicts of interest.
