Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on 15 May accepting Chechen **** and State President Arkhanov's request to resign, while appointing Chechen Prime Minister Kadyrov as acting president.
The newly appointed acting president of Chechnya, Kadyrov, who is 30 years old, became the first deputy prime minister of Chechnya*** and State in May 2004 and the prime minister of Chechnya in March 2006. His father, Ahmed Kadyrov, who also served as Chechnya's president, was killed in a terrorist bombing on May 9, 2004, in Grozny, the Chechen capital. A bearded face, a lanky and upright figure, and a thunderous way of getting things done - that's the impression Kadyrov gave off.
Kadyrov, known as the "strong man of the Caucasus," was not soft on Chechnya's illegal armed forces. Kadyrov is an amateur boxer, and those who know him well know that he has a certain violent streak. This is evident in his pets - a lion and a tiger.
While Kadyrov's "Pravyi Sektor" has terrorized illegal armed groups, some media outlets have described his troops as spreading the "Red Terror" in Chechnya: arresting and even executing those suspected of threatening national security without any legal formalities. They are often arrested or even executed without any legal formalities.
