Ramzan Kadyrov

Ramzan Kadyrov (Russian: Рамзан Кадыров) is the President of the Russian republic of Chechnya. He is the son of former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov. Ramzan Kadyrov is a brutal Putin-backed, pro-Kremlin warlord[1]. He is widely viewed as nothing more than Putins puppet. The private army under his control has been accused of numerous human rights abuses, including torture, extortion, kidnapping, rape and murder[2].

The plurality of Russian people distrust Kadyrov[3].

However, Kadyrov was did help marginalize the influence of radical Islam, which began to take hold in the region amidst the devastation of the first Chechen war (1994-1996)[4].
