Zhirnov about Kadyrov/Collage 24 Channel

The previous video with the leader of Chechnya Kadyrov did not convince people that everything is fine with him. Therefore, the Kremlin decided to use “heavy artillery.”

About this24 Channelsaid ex-employee of the KGB and the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Zhirnov, noting that it is difficult to say anything specific from the new video with Kadyrov. However, most likely it is real.

The old video was unconvincing

The Kremlin realized that the previous video from the hospital, where he allegedly visited his uncle, was unconvincing. Therefore, this time they even used the head of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Vyacheslav Kurenkov. He is a fairly influential representative of the regime and a former bodyguard of Putin.

The Kremlin has launched “heavy artillery.” It's not just like that. Because the first video created even more rumors. There could even be a version that Kadyrov’s uncle gave him a kidney. The new video is real, but it says nothing about Kadyrov’s chronic illnesses, Zhirnov noted.

Kadyrov's appearance demonstrates that he really has health problems. Although in the new video he is in more or less normal condition. Most likely, the doctors were able to stabilize the condition of the head of Chechnya.

Personalities always play an important role in the Putin regime. This also applies to the Kadyrov regime in Chechnya.

Kadyrov has built a personal vertical in Chechnya. Arranged his clan in leadership positions. There are studies that indicate that about 50 Kadyrov’s relatives hold important positions in Chechnya. Kadyrov's departure could provoke dramatic changes throughout Chechnya. Then a struggle between the clans may begin, Zhirnov believes.

The situation with Kadyrov: briefly

• During September there was a lot of unverified information about Kadyrov's health condition. Some even reported that he was in a coma or even dead.
• Representative of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region Andrei Yusov emphasized that Kadyrov was in serious condition. However, intelligence officers do not confirm the information about the coma.
• Earlier, Zhirnov commented on the recent video of Kadyrov in the hospital. There are a number of interesting details there.
