Rumors are once again circulating about the apparently worrying health condition of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov. He now reacted calmly – and, as he often does, published a propaganda video in which he flexed his muscles.
Following a media report, rumors about the health of the ruler of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, have reignited in Russia. The politician, loyal to the Kremlin and known for his brutal treatment of dissidents, is suffering from an incurable disease of the pancreas, the exile newspaper Novaya Gazeta wrote. Europe” on Monday.
Rumors of serious illnesses are increasing
The newspaper, which was once founded by Nobel laureate Dmitry Muratov, cited sources from both Kadyrov’s entourage and doctors at the Russian presidential hospital. The Chechen leader is said to have been treated there last fall. It was at this time that strong rumors of his serious illness first emerged – fueled by his long absence from public life and obvious problems during his rare appearances.
Kadyrov works on “mind and soul”
There was initially no official statement from Kadyrov’s power apparatus, which a few months ago denied similar rumors – until now: to bright pop music, Putin’s bloodhound lifts dumbbells, trains with weights and knocks down a training colleague with a judo throw. The edited scenes are part of a video uploaded to Kadyrov’s platform on the Russian network VK.
“The busy day ended with training and positivity. Physical activity not only improves the body, but also the mood. Evening classes are a great way to relax and recharge,” the video description reads. Kadyrov takes “intensive” care of his health, it is an “investment in the future” and he trains his body and mind.
Pure propaganda again?
The purpose seems rather obvious: the video is intended to make it look like Kadyrov has been training for a long time – beads of sweat on his forehead are proof of that. You can also see how the propaganda works by looking at the younger men around the ruler.
Although Kadyrov seems to be doing his exercises with ease, they are clearly having difficulty with them. This once again raises doubts about the authenticity of the recordings – this can hardly be independently verified.
