Kadyrov got enough influence to start 3rd Chechen War in the region. So what should he do instead of dealing with Russian goverment? Become "rebel"? Hide in mountains? Kill evil Russian millitary? Taking children hostages as was done by famous Basaev rebel? Can you really blame him for choosing another way?

It is not a Star Wars movie where there are Evil Russian Empire fighting good Chechen Republic. It is post War zone, and human life has a low value there.  Fighting Evil Russia will not cure anyhing and will not stop human right violations. It will make a lot of new problems.

Chechen goverment and parlament controls a lot of aspects of Chechen republic life. Now when counter-terrorist operaion is almost official over, they will gain more control.

 

Kadyrov will gain more control, not the Chechen people.

I'm not saying Kadyrov was wrong to deal with the Russian government, perhaps that was the best way out of the war. But he has essentially installed himself as a puppet dictator under the Kremlin with his own personal army, I can see no way that you can argue that that is a good outcome for anybody but him and the Kremlin.

 

It is not dictatorship it is clans system. Kadyrov is leader of Kadyrov's clan, there are other family clans that got influens in Chechen republic. Most of the Caucasus territories have clans orientated political system. They have got goverment and parlament, but most of the time it positions in there occupated by clans.
