Abstract
ABSTRACT Ramzan Kadyrov’s regime in Chechnya has been shaped by a republic-level nation-building process. To outbid his nationalist and religious rivals, the Chechen leader has followed a political strategy that bears some similarities to korenizatsiia, the early Soviet policy of establishing a strong interconnection between administrative structures and ethnicity. Under Kadyrov, Chechen nationalism has thoroughly penetrated the state institutions of the republic. A new ethnic Chechen bureaucracy has emerged, one with durable connections to federal institutions. Thus, with this sustained emphasis on Chechen nationalism, Kadyrov has made Chechen society far more deeply integrated with Russia than it has been in decades.
