Days before brutal Chechen warlord and Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov was reportedly hospitalized in a coma, he was accused of burying his personal doctor alive in retaliation for trying to poison him.
The Russian Telegram channel VChK-OGPU, which claims to have inside information on Russian security forces, said on September 10 that sources claimed Elkhan Suleymanov, Chechnya’s former deputy prime minister and Kadyrov’s personal physician, had been targeted by a man called “Putin’s attack dog.”
“Some say that [Suleymanov] was killed and buried alive in the ground,” the channel, quoted by Ukrainian media and Ukraine’s domestic affairs adviser, Anton Gerashchenko, Newsweek reported.
Suleymanov’s death has not been confirmed, but reports say he has not been since October 2022, when he was fired from his post as deputy prime minister.
“Suleymanov is an unusual figure in Kadyrov’s entourage – a Lezgin, not a Chechen, and has an impressive professional record in medicine,” Gerashchenko wrote on September 10. “His sudden disappearance and mysterious death raise many questions.”

Ukrainian news channel Obozrevatel.
“It’s not about injuries. Other details require additional clarification. He has been sick for a long time, and we are talking about systemic health problems,” said Yusov.

Kadyrov’s hospitalization came after he was reported seriously ill with kidney problems in March and brought in the United Arab Emerate’s chief nephrologist, or kidney specialist, to the Chechen capital of Grozny to treat him, Kazakh journalist Azamat Maytanov reported at the time.
Despite the reports, however, Kadyrov’s condition remains unclear after he posted a cryptic message on Russian social media site VK on Friday night, along with a video of him walking with a group of people.
“”The last step is different from the others,” read a post on Kadyrov’s page. “Love these difficult moments.. Don’t forget and understand the importance of life. Unlock each other, and straighten it out.”
Meanwhile, the popular and anonymous Chechen Telegram channel, 1ADAT, which claims to be led by “people who have all been captured by Kadryov’s forces and have endured their torture,” said they could not confirm Kadyrov’s hospitalization.
“Rumors about Kadyrov’s coma and severe condition are actively spreading online, even the State Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine confirmed this,” the group wrote. “That’s why we have to make this review. We are monitoring the situation, but we cannot confirm any of this yet and at this stage this is a rumor for us.”
