"The attempted assassinations against me were not accidental"
About this Quote
As a statesman in a war-scarred Chechnya, Kadyrov is speaking from a political environment where violence is not background noise but a governing tool. By framing the attempts as deliberate, he casts himself as the central obstacle to someone else’s agenda. That’s self-justification disguised as diagnosis: if people are trying to kill me, I must be doing something consequential, and the opposition must be illegitimate, not merely rival.
The subtext is also disciplinary. Declaring that the threats are purposeful cues a security state response: tighter controls, harsher crackdowns, fewer civil liberties, more loyalty tests. It turns personal danger into public policy. And it preempts skepticism. If future violence occurs, it’s proof of the plot; if nothing happens, it’s proof that vigilance worked. Either way, the narrative closes around him: embattled leader, targeted survivor, necessary strongman.
