The Kadyrov system consolidates
After Akhmat Kadyrov's assassination in 2004, power passes by stages to his son: Ramzan Kadyrov becomes president of Chechnya in 2007 at the minimum legal age, with his security structures absorbing or eliminating rivals. Chechnya is rebuilt with federal money under a personalised order loyal to Putin directly.
