[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm kind of worried about what Kadyrov will do without Putin. I hope if Putin goes, that R.A.K. goes with him (interesting that Kadyrov's initials mean "cancer" in Russian) Hopefully he and his TikTok army will become irrelevant, or better yet, maybe the TikTok army will turn against him once the cash spigot is off.[/quote]

I think Kadyrov will try to do a power grab.  I suspect Prigozhin may as well.  Although by the same token I sometimes wonder if Prigozhin may also be on constant guard lest he himself fall out of a window.[/quote]

I know people like to throw around these scenarios, but they’re kinda ridiculous. You all have watched too many movies and clearly don’t know anything about Kadyrov or Prigozhin beyond what you read in a couple news articles.[/quote]

Actually, no. I actually have written articles about Prigozhin and his involvement with PMCs and the Internet Research Agency. And I also am quite familiar with Kadyrov, Chechnya, Chechen politics from 1991 to present, and Russian Federation internal politics in general. The scenarios talked about in this thread are no more ridiculous than the current situation Russia is in, which is pretty ridiculous. If you actually think the points made are ridiculous, then what do you see as realistic? There is no "normalcy" in Russia, never has been. At least look at the last 30 years and notice how many extremely "ridiculous" events have happened. Some points made may be facetious, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility. It would be more ridiculous if you asserted with 100% confidence what will happen in Russia in 10 years. That's why everyone in this thread is just speculating and we should all realize that.
