Self-proclaimed leader of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov publicly declared the so-called “blood feud” against several Russian politicians at once. Therefore, he may be waiting for a script by Yevgeny Prigozhin.

This opinion was voiced by General of the Army, former head of the Foreign Intelligence Service Nikolai Malomuzh on Channel 24. According to him, Kadyrov will convince Putin of his loyalty.

“The scenario is roughly the same as with Prigozhin, but more profound. There will be an invitation, negotiations, fraternization, even close assurances of loyalty to Putin from Kadyrov. But there will be his own program of action,” he said.

Various scenarios are possible

Nikolay Malomuzh suggested that Putin will control Kadyrov not only through the special services and troops. The Chechen terrorist's entourage has long been infiltrated.

Kadyrov criticized the Russian authorities for tightening their immigration policy. In this way, he wants to demonstrate his alleged defense. In general, the terrorist likes to support various movements, national minorities. This is a systemic game that Putin knows about.

There will be a moment like with Prigozhin. Today they are friends, even after the putsch they agreed on everything, but tomorrow the situation may be completely different. Because Kadyrov is not the only one and not the only system that has the ability to carry out terrorist attacks. Russia's special services have specialized in this for many years. The scenarios may be different, – the army general emphasized.

Recall that during his meeting with security forces, Kadyrov declared “blood feud” against the senator from Dagestan, billionaire Suleiman Kerimov, who is close to Putin, and the deputies from Ingushetia and Bashkiria. This statement was the result of a long-term business conflict between Kadyrov and Kerimov for control over the Wildberries marketplace.
