How is Kadyrov and his father not puppets? They both are/were essentially tools through which Russia has near total control of Chechnya. They may have stopped the war but in my opinion they have not done it in the way the Chechen people would have preferred.
Freedom I measure such things as fair and balanced democracy (which Chechnya doesn't have, the elections are essentially a show run by the Kremlin and Kadyrov) and human rights (which are often violated in Chechnya, there are still many reports of abuses such as torture.)
