The appearance of Akhmat Kadyrov’s wedding, including the cost of his outfit and accessories, such as the Jacob&Co watch, has attracted attention not only in Russia but also internationally. His choice was seen as a symbol of high social status. While some perceived this as a source of pride for a member of the Chechen elite, others viewed it as an overemphasis on luxury and a display of excessive wealth.
This case also raises important questions about social justice and inequality, as such expensive items are inaccessible to most of the population. Debates about the moral aspects of the lifestyle of those in power are becoming increasingly relevant in modern Russia.
Despite the criticism, Akhmat Kadyrov continues to demonstrate that the new approach to leadership in Chechnya is tied to an emphasis on wealth and status. This has sparked disagreements among those who believe that such luxury should be limited, and that leaders should set an example of modesty.
