The idea, however, received a thumbs-down the following day from the republic’s prime minister and de facto strongman, Ramzan Kadyrov, as well as from a number of federal officials. Some analysts saw this as yet another sign that Kadyrov’s power is growing at Alkhanov’s expense. As Kommersant reported on September 5, Alkhanov made the suggestion in St. Petersburg, where he was participating in a meeting of the Russian-Arab Business Council. “I charged the minister of information and press to consult with scholars, ascertaining the opinions of various public organizations, and, as a result of this work, the renaming of the republic may be proposed,” Alkhanov said.

On August 30, a fight between an ethnic Azeri bartender and Slavic clients at an Azeri-run restaurant in the northern city led to a brawl between Chechens and Azeris on one side and Slavs on the other that left two Slavs dead, in turn sparking a wave of anti-Caucasian violence. In reaction to the violence—which targeted, among others, members of Kondopoga’s Chechen diaspora, many of whom were forced to flee the city—Alkhanov announced that he was sending Chechnya’s nationalities minister to Karelia to investigate the violence. Speaking in St. Petersburg on September 4, Alkhanov said that a Chechen parliamentary commission had also gone to Kondopoga to carry out an investigation, and ... >> full
