On March 4, 2006, the chairman of the People's Assembly, Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov, said that Kadyrov “proved his ability to manage the economy, and not just the security forces.” As Abdurakhmanov noted, “in just a few months, as many objects have been commissioned in the republic as the federal enterprise “Direction”, which was engaged in construction and restoration work in Chechnya, had not commissioned in five years. Abdurakhmanov stated that “two major avenues have been reconstructed - Pobeda and Tukhachevsky in Grozny, roads have been repaired, intensive construction work is underway on two streets - Staropromyslovskoe Highway and Zhukovsky, mosques, sports complexes, and hospitals are being built.”

The fight against terrorism and separatism
Speaking on March 4, 2006, the Chairman of the People's Assembly, Dukvakha Abdurakhmanov, said that thanks to the skillful leadership of Ramzan Kadyrov by law enforcement agencies, the situation in the fight against illegal armed groups has practically been turned around.
In May 2007, Ramzan Kadyrov headed the anti-terrorism commission of the republic. He signed a decree on measures to counter terrorism on the territory of the Chechen Republic.
Kadyrov has a negative attitude towards the actions of the separatists: “They are not people, these militants who kill old people and smash the heads of babies against walls. They think they will go to heaven, but Allah is not with them. Allah is with us. And we will win."
In July 2006, Radio Liberty journalist Andrei Babitsky said: “Every year it becomes more and more difficult for the Chechens to fight. The social base of those hiding in the mountains and forests is getting worse, and the Russian special services are becoming more and more effective. The security forces of Chechen Prime Minister Ramzan Kadyrov are also working quite successfully. Even acquiring weapons and food becomes an extremely difficult task for militants.”
According to the Anti-Terrorist Commission of the Chechen Republic, headed by Ramzan Kadyrov, as a result of the actions of the security and government structures of the federal center and the Chechen Republic in 2007, the number of terrorist attacks on the territory of Chechnya decreased by more than 3 times. If in 2005 there were 111 terrorist attacks, then in 2006 there were 74.
According to the commission, since its formation (April 2007), special units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for Chechnya and the FSB for Chechnya have neutralized 12 field commanders and 60 militants, detained 444 members of illegal armed groups and their accomplices, liquidated 283 bases, 452 caches of weapons and ammunition.
Special operations against militants
Ramzan Kadyrov and his security service, mostly made up of former militants, are actively fighting separatist groups.
In August 2003, for leading the operation to destroy the detachment of the famous Arab mercenary Abu al-Walid, Ramzan Kadyrov was nominated for the Order of Courage, although he himself then managed to escape from encirclement.
In September 2004, Kadyrov, with members of his security service and police officers of the Chechen regiment of the PPS, surrounded a large (estimated at about 100 people) detachment of the so-called. “guardsmen” of Aslan Maskhadov, led by the head of his personal guard, between the villages of Alleroi, Kurchaloevsky district, and Meskhety, Nozhai-Yurtovsky district (before that, Avdorkhanov entered Alleroi and killed several residents there who collaborated with the federal authorities).
During the battle that lasted several days, according to Kadyrov, 23 militants were killed, while Kadyrov had 2 policemen killed and 18 wounded. Avdorkhanov left, Kadyrov claimed that he was seriously wounded.
Negotiations with militants about their surrender
Ramzan Kadyrov is also negotiating with the militants, inviting them to go over to the side of the Russian authorities.
In March 2003, Ramzan Kadyrov announced that he had managed to negotiate the voluntary surrender of 46 militants who had laid down their arms under his father’s guarantees. In July 2003, Ramzan Kadyrov stated that he managed to convince 40 militants guarding Aslan Maskhadov to voluntarily lay down their arms.
Most of the militants who surrendered were enlisted in the security service of the President of the Chechen Republic; as a result, by the end of 2003, former militants made up the overwhelming majority of Kadyrov’s men.
Sports career
Until 2000, Ramzan Kadyrov was known mainly for his career in sports: he participated in boxing competitions and is a master of sports.
Heads the Chechen Boxing Federation. He is the president of the Terek football club. He heads the Ramzan sports club, which has branches in all regions of the Chechen Republic.
Accusations of involvement in murders
On April 27, 2010, the Austrian prosecutor's office stated that Kadyrov “gave the order in 2009 to kidnap a Chechen in Vienna who made revealing statements; during the abduction, this person was mortally wounded"; the next day, the press secretary of the President of Chechnya, Alvi Karimov, stated that Ramzan Kadyrov was not involved in the kidnapping and murder of Umar Israilov.
Also, in April of the same year in Russian media Testimony to the investigation of Isa Yamadayev was published, in which he accused Ramzan Kadyrov of organizing an attempt on his life (July 29, 2009), as well as the murder of his brothers. Both cases, according to some observers, could "indicate that the Kremlin is urging Chechnya's leader to rein in his security forces and pay more attention to human rights."
On November 15, 2006, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya put FSB Lieutenant Colonel Movladi Baysarov on the federal wanted list as a suspect in the kidnapping of the Chechen Musaev family from the Staropromyslovsky district of Grozny. Movladi Baysarov was the former commander of the Highlander detachment. On November 18, 2006, in Moscow, on Leninsky Prospekt, he was shot by a special group of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Chechen Republic, according to official version, while resisting arrest, carried out jointly with Moscow police officers.
Baysarov came into conflict with Kadyrov in May of the same year, when fighters from his detachment detained a relative of Kadyrov who was trying to smuggle stolen pipes for an oil pipeline to Ingushetia and sell them. In an interview with the Vremya Novostey newspaper on November 14, 2006, Baysarov stated that if the federal prosecutor’s office is interested in him in connection with the death of Anna Politkovskaya, then he is ready to answer all questions.

Performance evaluations
Assessments of activities in the fight against Chechen separatists
On November 9, 2006, a group of militants from the gang of Suleiman Imurzaev (Emir Khairulla) was destroyed. Kadyrov presented the corpses of four militants, saying that the rest were under the rubble of a blown up house. Khairulla, whose body Kadyrov announced the identification of, soon resumed attacks and was actually killed only in April 2007.
According to Anna Politkovskaya’s statement, made shortly before her death, Kadyrov uses kidnappings of innocent people to organize PR, including in the mentioned “battle with Avdorkhanov in Alleroi”: “Now there are two photographs on my desktop. I'm conducting an investigation. (...) These are people who were kidnapped by Kadyrov’s men for a completely incomprehensible reason. They were gone just to organize PR<…>.I want to say that these abducted people, whose photographs are on my desktop (...) (one of them is Russian, the other is Chechen) were presented as if they were militants with whom Kadyrov’s men were fighting near the village of Aleroy. This famous story, which walked across our television screens, radio and newspaper pages. When Kadyrov, against the backdrop of defeated militants, gave interviews in front of television cameras of state and other channels, but in reality all these people were rounded up, kidnapped and killed.”
Popularity ratings and cult of personality statements
According to Russian political scientist Sergei Markov, Ramzan Kadyrov enjoys unquestioned authority among the population of Chechnya.
According to Russian orientalist Alexei Malashenko, Ramzan Kadyrov does not enjoy even the same degree of popularity in Chechnya that his father had:
Parts of society did not like Akhmad Kadyrov, but he began to gain popularity. Ramzan was and is still hated by many Chechens. They think he's a gangster.
According to Radio Liberty journalist Andrei Babitsky, who has visited Chechnya several times:
Kadyrov really enjoys the sympathy of a certain part of the citizens of Chechnya. True, it is difficult to understand what basis this popularity has. Firstly, they are mortally afraid of Kadyrov. They are afraid as a person who was not stopped by the death of many people, including during the first Chechen war on the side of the rebels.
Kadyrov really showed that he is a talented dictator, a man who, through mental and physical pressure on the population, manages to restore the republic in a fantastic time frame, and very successfully. But, in addition to sincere admiration for Kadyrov, especially among young people, where he has been in great fashion lately, a situation has also arisen where people are simply afraid to say that they do not agree with his methods.
According to Babitsky, this situation is explained by the fact that:
The population no longer has the strength. But it is also true that today Kadyrov is extremely popular. He manages to do something that no one, Russian or Chechen, has managed before. Reconstruction is moving forward at an accelerated pace, and the people do not think about the methods by which they act, steal or take bribes. (...) Everyone understands that it is useless to denounce these actions. The only way out is not to quarrel with Kadyrov's people.
Kadyrov is accused of planting his own personality cult in Chechnya. Thus, political scientist Sergei Markedonov notes that students of the Grozny Lyceum proposed to rename the alley into Ramzan Kadyrov Alley. In 2006, a competition of creative works dedicated to Kadyrov was held in Chechnya; poet-humorist Igor Irtenev composed poems in honor of the competition.
In the field of human and civil rights
In 2007, Kadyrov was awarded the Order of “Golden Star - Honor and Dignity” and the title “Honored Defender of Human Rights” by the International Committee for the Defense of Human Rights. According to the assistant to the chairman of the International Committee for the Defense of Human Rights, Alexander Sapronov, Kadyrov was awarded for “personal contribution to the protection of human rights.”
In April 2008, at a meeting with Ramzan Kadyrov, Council of Europe Commissioner for Human Rights Thomas Hammarberg noted that in Chechnya “much has changed in a positive direction in the field of human rights.” He stated that, in general, the restoration of Chechnya “is real, not declarative.”
Hammarberg visited the Grozny pre-trial detention center, assessing the situation in this institution as favorable. “Today, such a problem as extracting confessions from prisoners does not exist in the republic, and this is good,” Hammarberg noted. Hammarberg also met with the Chairman of the Supreme Court of Chechnya, Ziyavdi Zaurbekov, and expressed the opinion that the judicial system of Chechnya is functioning fully. “The judicial system of the Chechen Republic copes successfully with its task - protecting the rights and freedoms of citizens,” he said.
A number of international and Russian human rights organizations hold him responsible for abductions, torture and extrajudicial killings. These accusations are not supported by court decisions (of Russian courts).
Ramzan Kadyrov was repeatedly accused of involvement in the kidnapping of civilians, for which he promised to sue, for example, journalist Anna Politkovskaya, who accused him of rape and kidnapping, which, however, was not done. In particular, according to a number of sources, immediately after the murder of his father, Kadyrov kidnapped and imprisoned in his personal prison in the village of Khosi-Yurt (Tsentoroy) relatives of the Chechen terrorist: a 70-year-old father, wife, 6-month-old son and sister
In January 2004, the British newspaper The Guardian claimed that R. Kadyrov personally tortures and beats prisoners. According to the newspaper, a gas station worker named Arby was beaten. The press secretary of the Kadyrov administration, Abdulbek Vakhaev, said then that Ramzan never participates in beatings and torture.
As Lev Ponomarev stated on behalf of some Russian human rights activists in February 2007, it is Kadyrov’s special forces that are now the main culprit in the deaths of civilians and abductions in Chechnya (the militants, in his opinion, are less active). The head of the Moscow Helsinki Group, Lyudmila Alekseeva, stated:
I know that Kadyrov not only pursues a policy of kidnapping people who disappear without a trace, or who are then found dead with signs of torture, or are imprisoned on trumped-up charges, I know that he himself took part in torture and murder.
In a joint statement by Russian human rights activists, Kadyrov is accused, in addition to human rights violations, of creating a totalitarian regime.
Some human rights activists argued that the operations carried out by armed forces subordinate to Kadyrov were accompanied by serious violations of human rights. According to the same data, “the civilian population of Chechnya fears this group (“Kadyrov’s men”) most of all - even more than federal employees”; The Kadyrovtsy formations themselves consist largely of individuals who committed criminal and economic crimes in Chechnya during the interwar period.....

In 2015, according to a survey by the research organization Levada Center, it was found that 55% of Russians trust the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. The majority of the Russian population believes that only thanks to the activities of the politician it was possible to achieve stability and peaceful life in the North Caucasus.
Kadyrov regularly arranges personnel changes. So, he fired the Minister of Culture, and the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs left himself. There are no exact reasons for leaving, so there is an opinion that it is due to personal conflicts with the head of Chechnya. In 2017, he joined the Supreme Council of the United Russia party.
Despite this, human rights activists constantly accuse the head of the Chechen Republic of brutal murders, kidnappings and torture of people. Some critics of the politician believe that, according to his clear instructions, crimes are committed by “Kadyrov’s militants” who have official status in the country. According to human rights activists, Kadyrov’s security guards are often seen involved in crimes and misdeeds. In turn, Ramzan Akhmatovich completely refutes such accusations, calling them groundless and unsubstantiated.
Kadyrov is accused of cruelty not only towards his subordinates, but also towards his own children. In 2016, a scandal broke out around the Grand Prix Akhmat tournament, which was later dubbed children's fights.

This violated numerous competition rules, according to which children under 12 years old should not be allowed to participate in MMA tournaments at all, and none of the three young Kadyrovs reached this age.
All this was pointed out by the President of the Russian MMA Union Fedor Emelianenko. He was indignant that the elite of the republic watched the children’s fights and did nothing, and all this was broadcast on Match TV throughout the country. According to Emelianenko, everything that happened is simply unacceptable and contradicts the very principles of caring for children.
Kadyrov responded to the athlete in “ Instagram", calling public criticism unworthy of Russian heroes. Ramzan did not see anything reprehensible in the fact that his children beat other children, calling it patriotic education. The politician was indignant that Emelianenko displayed a photo of his children to illustrate his statements, and urged him not to interfere with the growth of the country's future defenders.
