Chechnya’s dictator Ramzan Kadyrov has strongly criticized Wagner leader Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion against Russian authorities and military. In a post on Telegram, Kadyrov claims that Prigozhin defected due to a conflict with the city council in his hometown of St. Petersburg.

How does Ramzan Kadyrov perceive Yevgeny Prigozhin’s rebellion against Russian authorities and military?
Chechnya’s authoritarian leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has launched a scathing attack on Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the private military company, Wagner. Kadyrov took to Telegram to criticize Prigozhin’s rebellion against Russian authorities and military, suggesting that the cause of his defection was a dispute with the city council in his hometown of St. Petersburg.
Kadyrov accuses Prigozhin of putting his personal business interests ahead of the nation’s security, claiming that the conflict began when St. Petersburg authorities denied Prigozhin’s daughter, Polina Prigozjina, a coveted property. Kadyrov argues that Prigozhin’s arrogance has resulted in serious consequences and has caused many individuals to become embroiled in the dispute.
Polina Prigozjina, extensively involved in a chocolate company founded by her father, is said to have played a central role in this conflict. Despite the ongoing conflict, it is essential to remain fully engaged in the evolving nature of the situation.
It’s ironic to see one authoritarian condemning another for rebellion, but perhaps this disagreement could unveil some cracks within the Russian power structure.
