[KavkazUzel] Ramzan Kadyrov is building a management system in Chechnya based on family and personal ties, and strives to demonstrate the success of children in their careers, and the appointment of his daughter Khadizhat to the post of first deputy head of the administration of the head and government of Chechnya was no exception, noted a human rights activist and a human rights activist interviewed by the Caucasian Knot. According to the law, such a position requires a higher education, the lawyer emphasized.
It’s a wonderful system for the connected, but not nearly so wonderful for the unconnected withe ability and ambition who’ll never have a chance to be useful.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, Ramzan Kadyrov's 24-year-old daughter Khadizhat (Karina) was appointed first deputy head of the administration of the head and government of Chechnya, she was entrusted with overseeing the social block. Before that, she headed the department of preschool education at the Grozny City Hall. Previously, Khadizhat’s older sister, Aishat Kadyrova, also received the post of deputy prime minister of the republic for the social block at the age of 24. 

Almost the entire control system in Chechnya is tied personally to Ramzan Kadyrov and people close to him. Ramzan Kadyrov has   10 natural children - four sons (Akhmat, Zelimkhan, Adam, Abdullah) and six daughters (Aishat, Karina (Khadizhat), Hedi (Khutmat), Tabarik, Ashura and Eishat). Which of Ramzan Kadyrov’s relatives, friends and fellow villagers has advanced up the career ladder can be read in the “Caucasian Knot” certificate “ The main thing about Kadyrov’s personnel policy.”

President of the Assembly of Peoples of the Caucasus Ruslan Kutaev considers the appointment of Kadyrov’s daughter to a new position to be the norm for modern Chechnya. “Apparently, at the family council they decided to give her a new position. This is such a gift from the father of his daughter. But I always thought and now I think that all this is happening by agreement, and maybe on the orders of the Kremlin,” he told the correspondent "Caucasian Knot".

In his opinion, it is not so important here who has a higher position - the senior or the junior. “The eldest daughter is now the deputy prime minister of the government, and the youngest is the first deputy head of the administration of the head and government of Chechnya. But this is not so important. They are going through a process, the meaning of which is that all family members have a high position and this is indicated in the biography. No one can be surprised by appointments in Chechnya,” he noted.

On November 13, 2023, the 18-year-old son of the head of Chechnya, Akhmat Kadyrov,  was appointed  Deputy Minister for Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy of the republic, despite the lack of completed higher education required by law for such a post. In March, Akhmat Kadyrov, then still 17 years old, met personally with Vladimir Putin; the meeting was said to be informal. Human rights activists familiar with the realities of Chechnya regarded this meeting as a signal that power in Chechnya will continue  to be  inherited.

The head of the Civic Assistance Committee* Svetlana Gannushkina * agrees with him. “This has long become the norm in Chechnya. Was this a surprise for anyone? Not for me. Such an appointment cannot be considered provocative. What can be considered provocative is when girls are forced to get married. And such news has not even caused a smile for a long time. It’s a standard Chechen situation,” she told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.

In her opinion, it is important for Kadyrov that his children are in power. “The new position is very serious, it will resolve important issues. This is obviously a gift from a father to his daughter. It’s more convenient for him to manage. This is his idea of ​​the world, when all important positions should be occupied by members of his family and his immediate circle. His children, according to in his opinion, should be nearby, occupy high positions and take part in the governance of the republic. Well, what positions his youngest or eldest daughter holds, it doesn’t matter anymore. The main thing is that everyone has positions. Maybe he has a favorite among his daughters, I don’t know,” she noted.

Gannushkina welcomes the fact that women in Chechnya are receiving positions. “The very fact that women occupy high positions is already good. This is quite progressive,” the human rights activist emphasized.

According to Article 12 of the federal law “On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation”, having a higher education for such a position is mandatory, Moscow lawyer Evgeniy Chernousov is sure.

"This article defines the requirements for candidates for various government positions. For senior positions, having a higher education is mandatory. There are also requirements for length of service and experience in related work, and what exactly is required for the post of first deputy head of the administration of the head and government of Chechnya, but without higher education It is impossible to occupy such a position,” he told the “Caucasian Knot” correspondent.

In his opinion, the Chechen media may have simply missed the fact about Kadyrov’s daughter’s higher education. "I don’t think that she doesn’t have a higher education. Perhaps the media accidentally missed this point. All the children do, but she doesn’t? It seems to me that this cannot be. In any case, higher education is necessary for leadership positions in the Russian Federation", he noted.

On the website of the head of Chechnya, in the section “Administration of the head and government of the Chechen Republic,” the new position of Khadizhat Kadyrova is indicated, but her biography, as of 21.22 Moscow time, has not been published. At the same time, the remaining five administration officials have complete biographical information, including information on higher education.
