Ramzan Kadyrov is a famous Russian statesman and political figure, head of the Chechen Republic, Hero of the Russian Federation, who is a controversial and bright personality. He has an ambiguous attitude towards himself from society and the population, some of whom consider him a dictator, and the other - a peacemaker and restorer of what was destroyed.

Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich was born on October 5, 1976 in the village of Tsentaroy, located in the Chechen-Ingush SSR. He was the second son and the most youngest child in the family of the famous political figure Akhmat Kadyrov. Ancestral traditions, loyalty in the family, respect for elders, courage, bravery and courage - little Ramzan absorbed all these concepts with the milk of his mother, who is the head of the regional charity “Mercy”, founded by Kadyrov Sr.

The most important authority in childhood for the future politician was his father Akhmat Kadyrov, whose praise was a great reward for Ramzan, which he tried to win with his hard work and brave deeds. In his youth, Kadyrov studied in an ordinary rural school, like all Soviet children, and at the same time studied the military science of the mountaineers. Therefore, with early childhood he knows how to ride perfectly and is fluent in firearms and knives.

In 1992, Ramzan Kadyrov graduated from school, but did not immediately enter university, since at that time there was a need to take up arms and go with his father to defend the independence of Chechnya. Since then, the biography of Ramzan Kadyrov has been accepted military direction.


Only in 1998, after the end of the First Chechen War, Kadyrov entered the Makhachkala Institute of Business and Law, Faculty of Law, from which he successfully graduated in 2004. After receiving a law degree, Ramzan was enrolled as a student at the Academy of Civil Service under the President of the Russian Federation. In 2006, Ramzan Kadyrov’s education and his ability to overcome negative phenomena in Chechnya associated with the actions of illegal military formations allowed the future politician to become an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.


In the same year, he defended his dissertation at the Institute of Business and Law in Makhachkala and became a candidate of economic sciences. In addition, in 2006, Kadyrov received several more honorary titles, in particular, he became an honorary academician scientific academy Chechnya and honorary professor of the Modern Humanitarian Academy.

In addition to high achievements in economic sciences, Ramzan Kadyrov is a master of sports in boxing, and also holds the post of head of the Chechen Boxing Federation and heads the same football club"Ramzan", whose branches are located in all regions of the Chechen Republic.

Civil service

Since 1999, when Akhmat Kadyrov and his son switched sides from the Chechen separatist movement federal troops, Ramzan Kadyrov began to actively engage in government activities. In 2000, he became a member of a special company at the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, ensuring the security of buildings of government agencies and senior management of the Chechen Republic. In 2002, he was appointed commander of one of the platoons of this special company, and in 2003 he headed the presidential security service.


During this period, Kadyrov's influence on the territory of Chechnya increased significantly, thanks to his active work and successful negotiations with fighters of illegal armed groups in Chechnya, who in most cases renounced their beliefs and transferred to the security service of the top leadership of the Chechen Republic.

In 2004, Kadyrov’s father died, and the son of the ex-head of Chechnya was appointed to the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic. The elder Kadyrov was killed on the orders of the terrorist Shamil Basayev, and Ramzan announced his enmity with Basayev.


According to Russian legislation, Ramzan Kadyrov, who at that time had reached the age of 28, could not become his father’s successor and lead Chechnya, since the candidate for this position must be at least 30 years old. In 2005, the young politician took the post of acting. Chairman of the Government of the Chechen Republic, and already in 2007 became its leader.

Head of Chechnya

From the first days, Kadyrov's presidency produced positive results in terms of stabilizing the tense situation in the republic, as a result of which terrorist attacks decreased and civilians felt the long-awaited peace. The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, in addition to resolving the military situation, was actively involved in restoring the country’s infrastructure and constructing a number of architectural objects. The main source of large-scale construction was subsidies from the Russian budget and resources from the public fund named after. Hero of Russia Akhmat Kadyrov.


Also, the first period of Ramzan Akhmatovich’s reign is characterized by the Islamization of the republic, and the Chechen leader himself still demonstrates his deep religiosity. He opened the Russian Islamic University and the Heart of Chechnya mosque in Grozny in support of Sufi Islam, the traditional religion in the country.

In 2011, Ramzan Kadyrov was again re-elected to the next presidential term in the Chechen parliament and continues to successfully lead the country. According to Kadyrov himself, the key role in his political career is the support of the Russian president, to whom he regularly expresses his personal loyalty. The head of Chechnya considers Putin “the savior of the Chechen people.”


Also in 2011, there were popular unrest on the topic of facial hair, since at first Kadyrov promised to keep an eye on suspicious young people, but after a wave of questions, he said that the Chechen was and will have a beard according to religious laws, and Kadyrov is not going to fight this .

In 2015, according to a survey by the research organization Levada Center, it was found that about 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 often arranges personnel changes. He recently fired the Minister of Culture, and the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs left himself. There are no exact reasons for leaving, so many believe that it is a matter of personal conflicts with the head of Chechnya.


Despite this, human rights activists constantly accuse the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov of brutal murders, kidnappings and torture of people. Some critics of the politician believe that, according to his clear instructions, crimes are committed by “Kadyrovtsy militants” who have official status on the territory of the country. Kadyrov’s guards are often seen involved in crimes and misdeeds. Other human rights activists believe that Kadyrov himself has repeatedly taken part in brutal murders and torture of citizens. In turn, Ramzan Kadyrov completely refutes such accusations, calling such statements groundless and unsubstantiated.

Kadyrov has a long conflict with. Two odious leaders literally found each other. Kadyrov calls Zhirinovsky a “clown” and demands that he be removed from the party, and he, in turn, proposes to “fence off Chechnya from the rest of Russia with barbed wire.”

Conflict with Emelianenko

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.”

During the event, demonstration performances were to take place, in which the three sons of Ramzan Kadyrov took part. But instead of demonstrative ones, there were the most incredible real 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. In addition, the boys were not wearing equipment, which is mandatory for competitions until the age of 21.


All this was pointed out by the President of the Russian MMA Union. 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 on Instagram, calling public criticism unworthy of Russian heroes. He did not see anything reprehensible in the fact that his children beat other children, calling it patriotic education, but he was outraged that Emelianenko posted photos of his children to illustrate his statements, and urged him not to interfere with the growth of the country's future defenders.


All this provoked a conflict and a wave of unpleasant statements about the athlete from the Chechen elites on Instagram, Twitter and other social networks. The scandal reached the Kremlin. And although the official audit did not reveal any violations, many believe that Putin personally stood up for Emelianenko, since the tone of the scandal changed very sharply, the offensive posts disappeared, and Kadyrov apologized to the athlete.

Personal life

Ramzan Kadyrov is a zealous Muslim and even went on pilgrimage to Mecca.

He also supports many traditions of Chechnya, and sometimes appears on holidays in various historical clothes, in the costume of a hero or even in armor. In addition, Ramzan often rides a horse, which once caused a stir on the Internet. Someone spread false information that Kadyrov fell from his horse and broke his neck. Ramzan denied the rumors and was outraged by the slander.


Ramzan Kadyrov's personal life was as successful as his career. Even in his youth, Ramzan met his fellow villager, with whom he legalized his relationship in 2004. Ramzan Kadyrov’s wife, Medni Musaevna Kadyrova (nee Aidamirova), due to her husband’s position, is the first lady of Chechnya and is involved in charity work.

Several years ago, the first lady of Chechnya, Medni Kadyrova, became actively involved in fashion and founded her own brand called “Firdaws,” which became the first national brand of Chechen clothing, and opened a fashion house with the same name. Under this brand, many Czech designers release their collections, consisting of both luxurious dresses and casual wear.


Ramzan Kadyrov's wife is calm about the possibility that Ramzan Kadyrov will marry several more times, since according to Sharia law a Caucasian man can have four wives, though only with the permission of his main wife. The head of Chechnya has repeatedly stated that his second wife can only be a girl superior in beauty to Medni, who is older than him. married life never met.

However, there are rumors that Kadyrov still has a second wife. Her name is Fatima and she is only 18 years old. There has not been an official ceremony yet, and the wedding is legally required to be formalized Russian laws does not seem possible.


In addition, many media outlets have repeatedly attributed love affairs with various beauties to the Chechen leader. One of the most sensational scandals surrounding Ramzan Kadyrov and his unofficial personal life was the statement that Ramzan Kadyrov both relax together and have more than friendly relations. In response to such statements, Kadyrov stated that such accusations of infidelity to his wife are baseless and fictitious.

Kadyrov's children

Ramzan Kadyrov’s family has 10 children: six daughters and four sons. Two of the sons are adopted; in fact, they were adopted in 2007 by Kadyrov’s mother Aimani Nesievna, since Ramzan himself was prohibited from adopting teenagers due to the age difference. In fact, he is raising two adopted brothers.


This a large number of children in the family is not surprising for the southern region. Last child He was born into the family in 2015, and apparently, neither Kadyrov nor his wife are planning to stop yet. Many explain this by the traditions that Ramzan adheres to: there should be as many children as possible.

Big family lives in an equally huge house, which makes you think about financial condition Kadyrov clan.

Friendship with Timati

Kadyrov receives special favor not only from members of his family, but also from those whom he recognized as friends. This happened with, whom Ramzan even called brother.

There are always many conflicts around Ramzan Kadyrov, but not all of them are political. The head of the Chechen Republic himself intervened in the music scandal. In 2014, singer Timati was accused of drug use without evidence. A noisy scandal broke out with Timati, Bilan and at its center.


Kadyrov also made his contribution, saying that he fully supports Timati and believes that the singer has grounds to make such accusations, since Timati himself leads more healthy image life. The fact that Timati agreed to undergo a drug test finally convinced Ramzan.

At the height of the scandal, as a sign of support, he awarded the singer the title of Honored Artist of Chechnya.

Galustyan's parodies

Ramzan Kadyrov maintains warm relations with, who parodied the leader of Chechnya in the anniversary issue of KVN. Spectators and fans of the club were worried that after a bold parody, Mikhail might face a scandal or even a showdown. But, as it turned out, Kadyrov liked the video; moreover, Ramzan himself supported the idea of ​​the performance and even rehearsed with Galustyan for two days.

In an interview, Kadyrov said that he himself also wanted to attend the game, but could not, so he considered the parodist’s performance in a great way be in two places at the same time.

Kadyrov is generally very popular in the humorous sphere. A video of him laughing at one point even went viral.

And a year later, Alkhanov resigned as leader of the Chechen Republic, his decision was confirmed by Vladimir Putin. The post of head finally passed to Ramzan, who was soon approved by the Chechen parliament.

The human rights organization Memorial recorded over 2 years (from 2006 to 2008) more than 300 cases of kidnapping, 20 of which ended in death

According to some information, collective punishment has been established in the republic. If one of the family “goes into the forest,” then the whole family dies. Journalists who worked in Chechnya were also attacked.

What do you think about Ramzan Kadyrov? We are waiting for your comments.

- Akhmat Kadyrov and comes from a large and very respected teip in Chechnya, the Benoy family. At the same time, as a devout Muslim and adherent of all national traditions, he enjoys great respect from his fellow citizens.

Since 2007, the politician has held the post of head of the Chechen Republic. Experts have repeatedly called him a dictator. However, the fact remains that it was under his leadership that peace was established in Chechnya, active struggle with terrorism and the city of Grozny, which was badly damaged during the first and second Chechen wars, was restored. Ramzan Kadyrov is one of the most successful and effective politicians not only in the North Caucasus, but also in Russia.

Take it to yourself:

Childhood, youth and the beginning of a political career

Kadyrov was born in 1976 in the Chechen-Ingush SSR (aul Tsentraroi) into a very influential family. Ramzan's father was a prominent political figure, Akhmat Kadyrov, and his mother headed charitable foundation"Mercy", founded by his father.

As a child, Ramzan went to a regular village school, and his parents, despite being very busy, always found time for their children. The boys (Ramzan and his older brother) with early years explained that they must honor their elders, honor family ties, be faithful to their family, observe all national traditions, and also be brave and courageous.

Ramzan, like his brother, with youth, was also trained in military science: handling firearms and bladed weapons. He also learned to ride well. The main authority for him was always his father.

After graduating from school, the young man did not go to university, but, together with his father, joined the ranks of Dzhokhar Dudayev’s military forces defending the independence of the republic. Ramzan entered the university only after the end of the war, and in 2004, after studying at the Makhachkala Institute of Business and Law, he received a diploma in legal education.

In 1999, Ramzan, together with his father, Akhmat Kadyrov, took the side of the federal troops and stopped supporting the separatists. In 2000, Akhmat Kadyrov took the post of head of the temporary administration of the Chechen Republic, and in 2003 he became the president of the republic. His son Ramzan, throughout this time, worked in various services ensuring the security of government agencies and officials.

In 2000, he became part of a special police company guarding government buildings. Two years later, he took the post of commander of one of the platoons of the same company, and a year later he became the head of his father’s security service. At the same time, it was no secret to anyone that the son was his father’s right hand and, in addition to his main duties, performed the functions of his first assistant and often participated in making the most important and strategic decisions.

It is also noteworthy that when terrorist movements preaching radical views broke out again in the Chechen Republic in 1999, Ramzan, like his father, took the side of the federal forces.

Throughout the time Ramzan Kadyrov defected to the federals and joined the police, his political influence in the region continued to grow steadily, which allowed him to win over many former separatists to his side, most of whom were subsequently accepted into the company he led. Considering that at that time one of the priorities of the unit led by the younger Kadyrov was the fight against separatists, it is not surprising that there were repeated attempts on Ramzan Kadyrov’s life. The public is aware of at least five such episodes.

While Akhmat Kadyrov headed the Chechen Republic, his son continued to rise through the ranks. After the post of head of the security service under the President of the Chechen Republic, he took the post of assistant to the Minister of Internal Affairs. Then Ramzan Kadyrov headed the committee on compensation payments.

When in 2004 the President of the Republic became a victim of a major terrorist attack in Grozny, his position was taken by Alu Alkhanov. However, the death of his father did not break Ramzan Kadyrov and he continued to pursue a political career and his father’s work. Under the new Chechen leader, he first took the post of deputy prime minister, and then moved to the position of acting chairman of the government of the Chechen Republic.

The relationship between Alkhanov and Kadyrov did not work out and soon (2006) the men began to openly conflict. The head of the republic was supported by federal forces, and Ramzan Kadyrov was supported by soldiers from his company. In 2007, Alkhanov voluntarily resigned. Government Russian Federation led by Vladimir Putin supported this decision.

As a result, Ramzan Kadyrov became the head of the republic, having received the support of the local parliament.

In the presidential chair

Some experts believe that Ramzan Kadyrov, wanting to restore peace in the republic, acted too harshly and call the leader of the Chechen Republic a dictator. Here we must not forget that at the moment when he took the presidency, the situation in the republic was extremely unfavorable. The capital of Chechnya, the city of Grozny, as well as a host of other settlements, were severely destroyed as a result of the fighting.

At the same time, there was an aggravated criminal situation in the region and the republic was periodically shaken by reports of further terrorist attacks. The newly appointed Chechen leader had to make a lot of effort to restore order in the republic: to stop constant terrorist attacks and restore the infrastructure destroyed during the fighting. And of course, under these conditions, Ramzan Kadyrov sometimes had to make very tough decisions.

Having taken the post of head of the republic, the first thing he did was take a number of measures aimed at eradicating the terrorist threat and fighting separatists. These actions bore fruit, and he managed to significantly reduce the number of terrorist attacks in Chechnya. Over the course of several years, the situation in the republic became more stable and peace was restored here, which was simply necessary for the local population, tired of living in an atmosphere of constant threat.

Also, speaking about Kadyrov, one cannot fail to mention that he made a lot of efforts to restore Chechen settlements damaged during the fighting. With him this process went much faster. Much has been done both for the Grozny infrastructure and for other, smaller settlements. Moreover, not only socially significant objects were restored, but also those that had great moral and spiritual significance.

It was on the instructions of Ramzan Kadyrov that the memorial dedicated to the memory of the police officers who died during hostilities and terrorist attacks was brought into proper shape. Also in Grozny, in shortest time Several large construction projects were implemented at once, some of which were financed from the federal treasury.

Now Ramzan Kadyrov is pursuing a “pro-Russian” policy in Chechnya, doing everything to maintain peace in the republic, and he has developed a good relationship with the federal center.

If we talk about the population of Chechnya, then the leader of the republic enjoys the unquestioned respect and favor of the citizens. The loyal attitude of Chechens to the authorities is also proven by the fact that the turnout for elections in the region in 2007 exceeded 99%, and this, of course, speaks of trust in the government and the active social position of the Chechens.

Wife, children, sports and hobbies

Ramzan Kadyrov grew up in a traditional Chechen family, in an atmosphere of reverence and respect for all national traditions. At the same time, the leader of the republic, who professes Islam, is deeply religious person. All these facts contribute to the fact that in the Chechen Republic Kadyrov is respected not only as the leader of the republic, but also as a devout Muslim and a worthy representative of the Chechen people.

Ramzan Kadyrov and his wife met while still schoolchildren and got married quite early. The wife of the Chechen leader is a successful fashion designer, specializing in designing and sewing beautiful outfits for Muslim women. Now there is a Fashion House in Grozny, opened by Medni Kadyrova.

The couple have 10 children: 6 daughters and four sons. It is noteworthy that Ramzan named the eldest boy in honor of his father, Akhmat. There is also great respect for the fact that in addition to their 10 children, the couple is also raising two adopted children, whom the Kadyrovs took from orphanage. The Chechen leader’s mother, at his request, also adopted two schoolchildren who had previously been raised in one of the orphanages.

Despite the presence big family and a high workload, the leader of the republic always finds time for his hobbies. He has a degree in economics and is active in sports. It is known that he really likes horse riding and Kadyrov owns five dozen racehorses. The man is also interested in boxing (master of sports) and football, and once he even starred in a movie.

Take it to yourself:

Ramzan Kadyrov, like any bright personality, is very controversial and there are people who consider his methods to be too harsh and dictatorial. But in any case, one cannot argue with the fact that he managed to restore peace and order in the republic. And this is exactly what his fellow citizens expected from him.

Ramzan Kadyrov was born on October 5, 1976 in the village of Tsentoroy, Chechen Republic. The boy was the second and most youngest son in the family of Akhmat Abdulkhamidovich and Aimani Nesievna. The family also raised an older brother, Zelimkhan, and older sisters, Zargan and Zulay. The Kadyrovs belong to one of the largest Chechen families, the Benoi. In religious terms, they are confessors of the wird of Sheikh Kunta-Haji, who belongs to the Qadiri branch of Sufi Islam, to which all the highest clergy of Chechnya belong.

The future politician’s most important authority during his childhood was his father, Akhmat Kadyrov, whose praise was a great reward for Ramzan. In his youth, Ramzan studied at an ordinary rural school, and at the same time studied the military science of the mountaineers.

During the First Chechen war Together with his father, he was in the ranks of the Chechen separatists and fought against the Russian Armed Forces. Further, since 1996, he worked as an assistant and personal bodyguard of his father, at that time one of the leaders of the separatist and anti-Russian movement in Chechnya, who declared “jihad” on Russia.

In the fall of 1999, Ramzan, together with his father, who opposed the growing influence of Wahhabism, went over to the side of the federal authorities. During this period, the young man entered the Makhachkala Institute of Business and Law, Faculty of Law, from which he successfully graduated. After receiving a law degree, he was enrolled as a student at the Academy National economy And civil service under the President of the Russian Federation.

Further, Ramzan Kadyrov began to actively engage in government activities. In 2000, he became a member of a special company under the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, ensuring the security of buildings of government agencies and senior management of the Chechen Republic. In 2002, he was appointed commander of one of the platoons of this special company, then headed the presidential security service.

During this period, Kadyrov's influence on the territory of Chechnya increased significantly, thanks to his active work and successful negotiations with fighters of illegal armed groups in Chechnya, who in most cases renounced their beliefs and joined the security service of the top leadership of the Chechen Republic. Together with his people, he personally fought the remnants of the separatist military formations. During this period, the young politician survived at least five assassination attempts.

In 2004, Kadyrov's father died during a terrorist attack while celebrating Victory Day. After this, the son of the ex-head of Chechnya was appointed to the post of Deputy Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic. According to Russian law, Ramzan Kadyrov, who was 28 years old at that time, could not succeed his father and lead Chechnya, since the candidate for this position must be over thirty years old. In 2005, the young politician took the post of acting chairman of the government of the Chechen Republic.

In 2006, Ramzan Kadyrov’s education and his ability to overcome negative phenomena in Chechnya associated with the actions of illegal military formations allowed the future politician to become an honorary member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences. In the same year, Ramzan Akhmatovich defended his dissertation at the Institute of Business and Law in Makhachkala and became a candidate of economic sciences. In addition, Kadyrov received several more honorary titles, became an honorary academician of the Scientific Academy of the Chechen Republic and an honorary professor of the Modern Humanitarian Academy.

On March 1, 2007, Russian President Vladimir Putin proposed the candidacy of Ramzan Kadyrov for consideration by the Chechen Parliament. The next day, his candidacy was supported by 56 out of 58 deputies of both chambers of the Chechen parliament. In Gudermes on April 5, 2007, the inauguration ceremony of Ramzan Kadyrov as President of the Chechen Republic took place, where former Chechen Prime Minister Sergei Abramov, heads of several regions of the Southern federal district, President of the Republic of Abkhazia Sergei Bagapsh.

From the first days, the presidency gave positive results in terms of stabilizing the tense situation in the republic, as a result of which terrorist attacks decreased and residents felt the long-awaited peace. In addition to resolving the military situation, the head of the republic was actively involved in restoring infrastructure and constructing a number of architectural objects. The main source of large-scale construction was subsidies from the Russian budget and resources from the public fund named after Hero of Russia Akhmat Kadyrov.

Also, the first period of Ramzan Akhmatovich’s reign is characterized by the Islamization of the republic. Kadyrov opened the Russian Islamic University and the Heart of Chechnya mosque in Grozny in support of Sufi Islam, which is the traditional religion in the republic.

A story about how the future president of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, whose biography will be described in this article, grew up and what he did, is impossible without mentioning who his father was -

Father

Ramzan's father was famous in Chechnya and beyond its religious and politician, for several years he was considered the Supreme Mufti of the Republic of Ichkeria, unrecognized by either Russia or other countries of the world. During the first Chechen campaign he fought on the side of the separatists, in the second he went over to the side of government forces. He then became the president of Chechnya, and on May 9, 2004, he died at the hands of terrorists. Several years will pass, and his son, Ramzan Kadyrov, will become his successor.

His biography continues with his graduation from school in his native village of Tsentoroi in 1992. Next - participation in the first Chechen campaign on the side of the separatists. In the second company, he, following his father, goes over to the side of the Russian troops. In 1996 he became his assistant, who was then the mufti. Ramzan then takes over as head of his security.

Ramzan Kadyrov, whose biography changed radically after switching to the side of the Russian government, from 2000 to 2002 worked as a staff inspector for communications and special equipment in a company of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation. Its tasks included the protection of officials and special objects belonging to the state authorities of the Chechen Republic.
