This Could Anger Putin: What Agreement Kadyrov Tried to Violate

This could anger Putin: what agreement did Kadyrov try to violate Victoria Grabovskaya

After the unsuccessful attempt on September 18 to seize the office of the Wildberries marketplace by the ex-husband of its owner, Vladislav Bakalchuk, together with Kadyrov's men, arrests took place. This event is part of the confrontation between the mafia clans of Ramzan Kadyrov and oligarch Suleiman Kerimov.

Political scientist and sociologist from Germany Igor Eidman told Channel 24 about this, noting that Kerimov is supported by Vladimir Putin himself. Therefore, Kadyrov's actions on Bakalchuk's side could exacerbate the relations between the so-called head of Chechnya and Putin.

Kadyrov's men “broke their teeth”

This is not the first time Putin has participated in the redistribution of property in Russia. In this conflict, he lobbies the interests of Kerimov and Tatyana Bakalchuk, the owner of the Wildberries company, which is worth billions of dollars.

Russia is the private property of the serf-owner Putin, and he controls, in particular, economic processes in it, the political scientist emphasized.

In this story, according to him, for the first time there was a clash: Vladislav Bakalchuk involved Ramzan Kadyrov himself in this redistribution. Now it is clear that Kadyrov's men “broke their teeth”, because as a result of the capture, Bakalchuk himself and the Chechens who helped him were detained.

However, Tatyana Bakalchuk held out and continues to control the company. Now, at least in Moscow, Putin's people, in particular, billionaire Kerimov, who has long been paying the family of the head of the Kremlin, turned out to be stronger. For the first time in many years, Kadyrov's men were rebuffed and imprisoned, – he emphasized.

This, in his opinion, is an interesting situation from the point of view of the relationship between Kadyrov and Putin. The head of the Kremlin may decide that Kadyrov has started to be rude to him.

From the very beginning it was clear that the agreement that Kadyrov's men are trying to disrupt was personally approved by Putin. Kadyrov could not have been unaware of this, but after he was told not to go there, he still sent his fighters to storm, or in fact, raid, the Wildberries office.

This could anger Putin, because attempts to overturn his decision by force are arbitrary on Kadyrov's part, Igor Eidman is sure.

Recall that in the center of Moscow near the Wildberries marketplace office on September 18, a shooting occurred during an attempt to seize the company by Vladislav Bakalchuk and Kadyrov's men. As a result, 2 security guards were killed and 7 people were injured.

Bakalchuk himself was detained by the police, but was later released. In total, more than 30 defendants, including Bakalchuk, were charged in the case regarding the shooting near the Wildberries office.
