The reaction of the Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to the anti-Semitic riots in the Republic of Dagestan on October 29 indicates that the Russian leadership is increasingly concerned that authoritarian control is weakening in the border regions of the Russian Federation.
Kadyrov responded to the unrest in Dagestan by - like Russian President Vladimir Putin - blaming the West, claiming it orchestrated the situation to destabilize Russia. Later, Kadyrov urged Chechen security forces to immediately arrest the instigators of potential unrest in Chechnya or to „fire three warning shots in the air and a fourth in the head.“ Kadyrov's reactions to the riots in Dagestan suggest that he is firstly concerned with maintaining the impression of his unwavering support for Putin, and secondly, demonstrating the strength of his authoritarian rule over Chechnya by threatening a violent response to possible future unrest.
