When Putin’s regime eventually ends, “much will depend on the type of system that replaces it,” says @kvoneggert. If a more open system emerges, there could be “calls for Chechnya to be expelled from the federation,” he tells @ACEurasia’s @PowerVertical.

Highly recommend @IliyasovMarat's Russia Tomorrow report on the 4 scenarios for #Chechnya's future. Concise, insightful, and increasingly something Western foreign policy strategists should be thinking about. atlanticcouncil.org/content-series…

Referencing Putin’s role in elevating the late Chechen leader Akhmad Kadyrov, @NEDemocracy’s Miriam Lanskoy says, “it seems like the system can replicate itself.” The same process that brought Ramzan Kadyrov to power could also be used for his son, Adam Kadyrov, she explains.

Ex-CIA chief Ralph Goff says there might be a third Chechen uprising: The Chechens are fighting in Ukraine and gaining combat experience, he tells @ACEurasia’s @PowerVertical. “The idea that Chechnya would remain permanently under Russia's thumb doesn’t really seem realistic.”

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is “certain that nothing can shake his and Putin’s stability,” says @IliyasovMarat. “He knows that his stability is very closely attached to Putin’s stability, so he doesn’t want anything to happen to Putin,” he tells @ACEurasia’s @PowerVertical.
