Kadyrov. However, A. Kadyrov did not have time to take full advantage of the results of the successful referendum and elections organized with the support of the federal center. He ended up dead in a terrorist attack in Grozny on May 9, 2004. Ramzan Kadyrov deputy prime minister of S. Abramov after the death of his father, entered the political arena not only of the Chechen Republic, but also Russia. Despite the expectations and forecasts of a number of experts, V.
