Coverage of Ramzan Kadyrov focused on Chechnya’s leadership election. Life.ru, Komsomolskaya Pravda and Lenta.ru reported that he won 99.85% of the vote; Life.ru and Komsomolskaya Pravda attributed that result to Russia’s Central Election Commission. Earlier reports from those outlets and Kommersant put his preliminary share at 97.35%. Life.ru also relayed Kadyrov’s claim that turnout in Chechnya had reached 85.24% after two days. Other coverage concerned his public appearances, comments on clothing and grooming, and a former football player’s account of his generosity.

Across 25 articles mentioning Kadyrov over the last 30 days, nine presented him as successful. Election reports supplied much of that framing. Lenta.ru also carried former Akhmat player Bernard Berisha’s account that Kadyrov treated him like a son and gave him a car. Life.ru’s coverage extended to a restaurant opening, reporting that Kadyrov opened a Vkusno i Tochka with a halal menu in Grozny. Vedomosti instead reported his calls for young men to trim long beards and women to avoid Arab-style veils, which he described as inconsistent with local Islamic traditions.
