    Could be either. Kadyrov is a loudmouth who restricts Russia’s direct control over Chechnya, and has proved that he’s not nearly as useful as he likes to pretend, but he’s also an eager Putin bootlicker and a core part of ensuring Chechnya doesn’t rebel.

    Either way, I hope it’s fucking terminal.
