Grozny, January 23, 2016, 00:16 – REGNUM Old virtual image Ramzan Kadyrov quickly supplanted by a new one. The only question is whether this will bring a new way of real political dividends to the head of the Chechen Republic.
Most of the 2000s, Ramzan Kadyrov, the Russians, as a rule, associated only with the problems of Chechnya and ethnic Chechens. Toward the close of the “zero” in this way, a new Highlander harsh subsistence. Many (usually supporters of the opposition) began to perceive the Chechen leader and his loyal police unit as a kind of “ambush regiment” of the Kremlin who oppose Putin’s enemies at a time when hopes for the victory of pro-government forces almost does not remain. Even this old way was quite powerful. For example, in 2009, just at the height of the previous crisis, one of the rank and file supporters of Russian nationalists he did in his blog post about how to burst sometime fellow citizens and the patience of “the people will rise.” In fact, the author of the post explained how he sees the perfect (from their perspective) near future. There is picturesquely described how rebels Far East, Siberia, as the rebels will move army units. For the rebels reach the capital, almost to the gates of the Kremlin … And then they win and discarded fighters from Moscow, Ramzan Kadyrov, was urgently summoned to the aid of the authorities. That is, the author of the post, even in my dreams I could not imagine that “Kadyrov’s guards” can win. SWAT – easily army – actually, but fighters from Chechnya – not. Perhaps the propagandists of all time could take off his hat respectfully. Consultants Ramzan Akhmatovich actually carried out the advice of the ancient Chinese strategist Sun Tzu: “He who knows how to make war, conquers an enemy army without fighting.” If by the army to imply at least some of the non-systemic opposition supporters.
Still, this old way of Kadyrov, whatever the strengths he had not been restricted. In fact, some perceive as an external force, which the observer is not his. This is because the logic of opposition blogger from 2009 – “and their clear” can be defeated or pereagitirovat, but “strange and unknown” Ramzan his fighters – no. Actually, the head of Chechnya, stressing its inextricable link with Russia in no hurry to break the latter, a virtual barrier between the audience and the other parts of the country. Let us remember his famous television interview, Tina Kandelaki, made in 2011. On the one hand, the hero of the program repeatedly utters the phrase “in Russia”, on the other – like a television reporter about the “rules of our appearance.”
But while Russian readers and viewers remember this single, familiar representation of Kadyrov as severe Gorce from far (for many) Muslim republic, occupied mainly concerns their region, imperceptibly born and another image of Ramzan Akhmatovich. Character, which states the position already on the federal agenda. It can be regarded as the birthday of the “federal Kadyrov” in June 2007, when the head of the Chechen Republic in an interview with “Kommersant” said that Putin should stay for a third term. Or “five-day war” in 2008. But one thing is clear – since a few years, “federal Kadyrov” very seriously pressed the old image of the local Chechen leader.
Moreover, the years 2014-2015 have been, in fact, against the background of “fight” the two virtual images. Moreover, opponents of the head of Chechnya tried to focus precisely on the old local way of “wild mountain man”, which is projected on the behavior of his charges (note though resonant story about the wedding 17-year-old Louise Goylabievoy). Like other world Highlander’s cult TV series 90, the information space allowed to “live” there was only one of the images of the Chechen leader. As a result, the image of the Federal quite a rose to his feet – largely due to the position of Kadyrov in the Crimea, Donbass and Syria.
What we see as a result? I remember, one of the prominent political scientists in 2010 put forward conspiracy theories that Putin did not want to return to the presidency. One of the arguments was a new statement of Ramzan Akhmatovich to support a third term for Vladimir Vladimirovich. Apparently, the logic of the expert support of a character at once can cause a rejection of many Russians. But today the situation has clearly changed much.
This is where the question arises – why the scandal around allegations Kadyrov extrasystemic oppositionists as “enemies of the people”, occurred now? Among the most popular opposition observers, seems to have become a hypothesis that the Chechen leader’s words – “thermal rocket-trap.” Information occasion, which should divert people’s attention. But from what he has to distract the Russians in January, when the country was just waking up after the holidays? Distract so that the socio-economic problems of one can not be sure. A domestic political news is now almost as much about the message and the Amur tiger goat Timur.

On the other hand, to declare itself a “dead season “just perfect. That is what is happening now. In fact, today the image of a new federal Kadyrov eventually wins the old, local. Deputy Adam Delimkhanov action against the background of the Kremlin’s support for the head of the republic, shouting “Allahu Akbar” – still a recurrence of the old image. Flashmob “Kadyrov – a patriot of Russia” – is a great victory for the new.

However, understanding the “why now” we We have not yet answered the question “why”? Apparently, the reason is not only the desire to improve the image of the head of one of the republics. And not necessarily only in the intention to play on the contrast between “evil” and Kadyrov, for example, weighted Putin. Perhaps the head of Chechnya expects that it will be claimed as a federal public policy.
We remember that on the eve of the Duma campaign held each “test drive” different, even the seemingly improbable scenario of elections, although most of them are not implemented then. “The new liberal party in the Duma,” “the second party of power” – the much debated ideas of past campaigns and has not become a reality, we can remember for a long time. While Vyacheslav Volodin shows the “liberal agenda” for the “United Russia”, Kadyrov is unlikely to become one of the key figures of the federal campaign of the party. But if the rate will be made to mobilize the nucleus of the “Putin majority” to fight the new “orange threat”, things are not so simple. Not all people are receptive to the views of Ramzan Kadyrov. So even in this scenario, its role as a public policy would rather limited. And yet, a few years ago many of the loyal conservatives treated him even more suspicious, but their estimates are gradually changing.
In any case, the room for maneuver at the image of the “federal Kadyrov” certainly more than the “old model”. While – in the role of one of the fighters’ ambush regiment. ” Do not force a rough scenario, which scared many opponents of the Kremlin, and in quite a peaceful political space.
