> the mechanism of hereditary transfer of power continues to take shape in chechnya.  ramzan kadyrov promoting his 16-year-old son as his heir demonstrated his intention to remain at the head of the republic for at least another ten years, gradually handing over power, since today kadyrov junior, who grew up in indisputably more comfortable conditions than ramzan, is hardly capable of independently governing such a specific subject of the federation as the chechen republic. kadyrov should, at the same time as introducing his son to the leadership of the republic, firmly hold the reins of chechen power without allowing any other clans to take over. with the apparently undeserved awarding of his son, ramzan kadyrov once again demonstrates that at the moment chechnya is outside the russian legal framework. this warning is addressed primarily to the internal chechen opposition, both existing and potential, and is complemented by regular and very brutal reprisals against potential opponents within the republic. b chechnya is fine-tuning the mechanism of hereditary transfer of power to the third generation of the ruling clan, ritualised in the style of blind imitation by the heir to his father's career. at the same time, the exchange of orders and medals is only the external manifestation of the complex processes of creating new informal alliances between the national republics, which at the same time take place without moscow's control (dmitry peskov's statement that the kremlin knows nothing about adam kadyrov's presentation of state honours is typical in this context).  the chechen experience of the hereditary transfer of power is of interest not only to the leaders of other national republics in russia, but also to putin himself. perhaps they would not mind disseminating it among themselves. > part 2
