The leader of the occupied Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, has recently faded into the background. Instead, instead of him, the key role of the “cool pepper” is played by the leader of the Wagner Air Forces, Yevgeny Prigozhin.
The fact that Prigozhin became “cooler” than Kadyrov in Russia was told by Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov on Channel 24 . According to him, Kadyrov has been “sour” lately.
Putin's new favorite
The interlocutor notes that Ramzan Kadyrov “turned pale” and faded into the background. Yevgeny Prigozhin, despite his criminal nature and gangster ambition, “scored points.”
A lot of things. I think that Putin himself. He keeps picking them up. It seems to me that now from this absolutely not sweet couple he looks like the main character, – Gennady Gudkov is convinced.
He believes that Yevgeny Prigozhin now has significantly more support from Putin personally than Kadyrov. Apparently, the fact is that the latter is now of less importance to Vladimir Putin.
“That is, when the situation in the Caucasus was more important, then Kadyrov was very important. And now, when the key issue is the battle for the fate of Putin in Ukraine, Prigozhin plays a much more important role here than Kadyrov,” the Russian opposition politician explained.
