Chechnya leader picks govt aide through a reality show
The leader of Russian-subject Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov used a reality show similar to US-based 'The Apprentice' to find his head of strategic development. The show is named 'The Team' and is based on an ever-shrinking group of contestants competing against each other to be picked for the top job. The tasks included swimming through rivers, boxing, and solving business problems.
