In Chechnya, the leader of a pro-Kremlin militant group has been appointed Prime Minister. Ramzan Kadyrov, who has served as first deputy prime minister, has been linked to several human rights abuses in the government’s fight against separatist rebels. Kadyrov will officially take office in October, when he turns 30 years old. Kadyrov is the son of former Chechen President Akhmat Kadyrov, who was assassinated in 2004.
