Puppet-to-Puppet

"Abbas accompanied Chechen President Ramsan Kadyrov on a visit to the grave of Kadyrov's father Achmat, the former president, who was killed in a bomb attack on a Grozny stadium in May 2004. Kadyrov described Abbas as "a true Muslim," while Abbas said he followed developments in Chechnya closely. Abbas arrived in Chechnya the previous night. He said he felt "at home" in the North Caucasus, with its cold temperatures and thick snowfall."" (thanks Matt)
