Talk:Kadyrovites

Split article

For some reason it mixes 141 regiment with special forces Uis9936 (talk) 21:24, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Just split it already

As it's been explained many times in all the previous requests over years, this is just one of MANY Kadyrovtsy units, and many of them have their Russian Wikipedia articles in addition to teh Kadyrovtsy article.

Which (Russian article Kadyrovtsy) is about all of them and not just this one. Which isn't even largest or the most famous (the most famous of them is the Akhmat special forces unit).

The confusion is just because someone randomly renamed the English article Kadyrovtsy to the current title because they didn't know about the subject.

Besides the split for this unit, all the other Kadyrovtsy units should have their articles also written. Just simply translating from Russian Wikipedia articles would be a good enough start.

Here is an incomplete list of Kadyrovtsy that do have their Russian Wikipedia articles for (so overdue) quick translation for starters, the names abbreviated by me in an English style:

• Special Police Regiment Hero of Russia Akhmat Kadyrov (Полк полиции специального назначения имени Героя Российской Федерации А. А. Кадырова)

• 78th Motorized Special Purpose Regiment North-Akhmat (78-й моторизованный полк специального назначения «Север-Ахмат»)

• 141st Special Motorised Regiment Akhmat Kadyrov North (141-й специальный моторизованный полк имени А. А. Кадырова «Север») - the current article about the Kadyrovtsy pretends that all the Kadyrovtsy belong only to this unit alone

• SOBR Akhmat (Специальный отряд быстрого реагирования «Ахмат») - no English Wikipedia article, it's just a redirect

• OMON Akhmat-Grozny (Отряд мобильный особого назначения «Ахмат-Грозный»)

• 249th Separate Special Motorised Battalion South (249-й отдельный специальный моторизованный батальон «Юг»)

Others without Russian Wikipedia articles including but not limited to:

• OMON Akhmat-1 (ОМОН «Ахмат-1»)

• [[]] (ОМОН «Ахмат-Крепость»)

• 270th Motorized Rifle Regiment Akhmat-Kavkaz (270-й мотострелковый полк «Ахмат-Кавказ»)

• Akhmat-Russia Regiment («Ахмат-Россия»)

• Akhmat-Chechnya Regiment («Ахмат-Чечня»)

• West-Akhmat Battalion («Запад-Ахмат»)

• East-Akhmat Battalion («Восток-Ахмат»),

• South-Akhmat Battalion («Юг-Ахмат»)

• Akhmat Volunteer Battalion (Добровольцы «Ахмат»)

• Rifle Battalion Sheikh Mansur (Стрелковый батальон имени шейха Мансура)

• Operational Purpose Battalion Baysangur of Beno (Батальон оперативного назначения имени Байсангура Беноевского)

• Oil and Gas Protection Police Regiment 2 (Полк полиции № 2 по охране объектов нефтегаз. комплекса) - Regiment 1 is now OMON "Akhmat-1"

• 94th Operational Purpose Regiment (94-й полк оперативного назначения)

• 96th Operational Purpose Regiment (96-й полк оперативного назначения)

And many more.

Screwed up

Two year ago an ignoramus changed the first sentence and I unwittingly moved the page accordingly, and wrote a stub Kadyrovites about the whole enchilada (or, rathr, Zhizhig-Galnash) . Now I have no desire to handle this mess. Whoever will give a try, please keep in mind that now the two articles have correct interwikilinks:

• 141st Special Motorized Regiment <-> ru:141-й специальный моторизованный полк имени А. А. Кадырова
• Kadyrovites (military)<->ru:Кадыровцы.

Tschuss, --Altenmann >talk 04:32, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

OK, I will try to untangle myself. --Altenmann >talk 12:11, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Done for now. Major confusion eliminated. The rest I don't care. --Altenmann >talk 13:35, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

Kadyrovites (military) → Kadyrovites – The article was screwed up, see above, and now I am splitting 141st Special Motorized Regiment and rewriting. The "(military)" marker was temporary to undo my wrong move ASAP. --Altenmann >talk 12:41, 3 May 2025 (UTC)
