Kadyrov at 50 and a new term Grozny's rebuilding portrait

Oct 5

Vremya says Kadyrov took the oath in Chechen and Russian in Grozny for a new term on his fiftieth birthday. Ramzan Kerimov's favorable portrait recalls Akhmad Kadyrov's death, Ramzan's early security role, Ruslan Alkhanov's account of a repentant militant and archival Akhmad Kadyrov praise. It credits the family foundation with aid and housing, including a home and car described by Akhmed Shabazov, and reports war-support spending and personnel totals. Hospital and hockey interviewees describe new facilities. It replays Putin's Grozny-reconstruction praise and Kadyrov's military pledge, then retrospectively mentions the army-general rank and airs Zolotov's explanation. It marks Grozny's 208th birthday and forthcoming district construction. The favorable interpretation, figures and military claims remain attributed; earlier meetings and promotion are not October 5 occurrences.

Vremya says Kadyrov begins a new term as Chechnya's head after taking the oath in Chechen and Russian at a Grozny ceremony, pledging service to the republic and Russia. The profile describes the recent election and five more years of work; its near-unanimous support claim remains attributed.
