The Kremlin closed its eyes to Kadryov’s amnesty of former guerrillas and their inclusion in his paramilitary units. In exchange, Kadyrov was to wage war against the remaining Islamist resistance and thus relieve Moscow of the burden of shedding Russian blood, or at least minimize the cost in Russian casualties.
为实现其计划，克里姆林宫放任卡德罗夫给予前游击队员特赦，并把这些人收编入他靡下的准军事部队。作为交换，卡德罗夫必须打击残余的伊斯兰抵抗力量，从而缓解莫斯科当局在清缴中因为流血牺牲而承受的政治压力，或者至少是要最大限度地降低俄罗斯人的伤亡。
