Analysts treat blogger Davidych's story about Kadyrov's people as self-promotion

The complaint of the blogger Eric Kituashvili, known under the nickname "Davidych", about some extortionists, who presented themselves as "Kadyrov people", was invented by him for self-promotion, the blogger, Dmitry Ivanov, has suggested. The immediate reaction of Adam Delimkhanov, a State Duma MP from Chechnya, to Kituashvili's statement fits into the campaign to increase the popularity of Ramzan Kadyrov himself, Andrei Kozlov, the director of a PR agency, has noted.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Kituashvili, who had complained about extortionists-"Kadyrov people", has stated that the problem was settled after his meeting with Adam Delimkhanov, a State Duma MP from Chechnya.

Dmitry Ivanov, a blogger known by his nickname kamikadzedead, has doubted that Kituashvili had really received threats.

The blogger Dmitry Ivanov's opinion about Kituashvili's fictitious history has convinced Alexei Malashenko, an Orientalist in the accurateness of his version that those were "some personal offenses of certain groupings s projected onto the blogosphere."

According to Andrei Kozlov, the director of a PR agency, most likely, Kadyrov's PR experts want to strengthen the image of a strong leader by the upcoming transfer of funds.
