1 | The Chechen President's Unlikely Instagram | Instagram An'ny Filoha Tchetchen? |
2 | Update: at this time the alihan777 account appears to have been completely removed from Instagram, perhaps due to growing visibility. | |
3 | Since the photographs used in this post were embedded (for copyright reasons), they are sadly also gone. | Sarotra ny hahamarika ny kaonty Instagram an'i alihan777 amin'ny voalohany. |
4 | A good number of them can be found here [ru] and by following some of the internal links in this post. It's hard to tell who noticed alihan777‘s Instagram account first. | Nahamarika ilay anaram-bositra tamin'ny alalan'ny siokan'ny namana ilay mpanentana malaza ao amin'ny fahitalavitra Rosiana Tina Kandelaki tamin'ny 8 Janoary 2013, saingy tsy nanome famantarana momba izay tompony. |
5 | Russian TV personality Tina Kandelaki mentioned the nickname in a friendly tweet [ru] on January 8, 2013, but gave no indication of the owner's identity. | |

7 | From the start, however, it was obvious that the anonymous album was being updated by either Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov himself, his press secretary, or someone equally close. | Hatramin'ny voalohany, anefa , nibaribary fa na nohavaozin'ny filoha Chechen Ramzan Kadyrov, na ny mpampita vaovaony, na olona akaiky azy ilay rakitsary tsy fantatra anarana. |
8 | The surprisingly candid photographs are all almost exclusively of Kadyrov (seen above dressed in some form of traditional armor). | Saika an'i Kadyrov manokana ireo sary nanaitra (jereo io ambony io, ilay mitafy karazana akanjo vy nenti-paharazana). |

10 | Some of the photos are surreal. | Mihoatra noho ny tena izy ny sasany tamin'ireo sary. |
11 | For example, Kadyrov, who is often accused of human rights violations and authoritarianism, can be seen unironically dressed as a Central Asian khan, complete with baby tiger. | Ohatra, hita ho tsy misangy amin'ny fiakanjoana tahaka ny mpanjaka (khan) avy ao Azia Afovoany, miaraka amin'ny zanaka tigra mameno azy i Kadyrov, ilay voampanga matetika amin'ny fanitsakitsahana ny zon'olombelona sy ny fanaovana jadona. |
12 | Nevertheless, RuNet didn't pick up on the story until a week later, when after a few [ru] tweets [ru] it was noticed by St. Petersburg-based culture blogger Corpuscula, who reposted some of the photographs on January 15, and wondered who it was that made them [ru]. | Na dia izany aza, tsy nitantara ny zava-niseho RuNet raha tsy tamin'ny herinandro taoriana, taorian'ireo sioka [ru] vitsy [ru] raha voamarik'ilay bilaogera momba ny kolontsaina Corpuscula monina ao St. Petersburg, izay nampita an-tserasera ny sasany tamin'ireo sary tamin'ny 15 Janoary, sy nanontany izay naka ny sary[ru]. |

14 | The next day, Marina Litvinovich, a human rights activist and former PR guru, also blogged about the account, bringing it further notoriety. | Ny andro manaraka, Marina Litvinovich, mpikatroka zon'olombelona sy manampahaizana manokana momba ny fifandraisana teo aloha, dia nibilaogy momba ilay kaonty ihany koa, ka vao maika nampalaza azy kokoa. |
15 | Litvinovich rather mockingly singled out several photographs in which Ramzan Kadyrov is seen enjoying the Chechen countryside along with Vladislav Surkov and Surkov's wife. | Nanatsonga sary maromaro tamim-panebahana i Litvinovich, sary ahitana an'i Ramzan Kadyrov mankafy ny ambanivohitra ao Tchetcheni miaraka amin'i Vladislav Surkov sy ny vadin'i Surkov. |

17 | Surkov, who is ethnically Chechen, is widely considered to have been the chief ideologue of the Putin presidency. | Sokajiana ho lehiben'ny fandalinan-kevitra mandritra ny fitondran'i Putin i Surkov, izay Tchetchen ara-poko. |
18 | After the 2011 parliamentary elections he was shunted from the President's Administration to a minor ministerial portfolio, which some viewed as a demotion. | Taorian'ny fifidianana solombavambahoaka tamin'ny taona 2011, nomena minisitera tsy dia mahasarika izy ka niheveran'ny sasany fa fanilihana azy mangingina izany. |
19 | Following a brief stint as the First Deputy Prime Minister, Surkov now heads the Government Apparatus, the bureaucratic structure charged with supporting the Russian Government (i.e. the Ministries) - a position previously held by Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. | Taorian'ny nandalovany vetivety tamin'ny maha-Praiminisitra lefitra azy dia efa nitantana ny sampandraharaham-panjakana i Surkov ankehitriny, rafitra misahana ny fanohanana sy fanampiana ny governemanta Rosiana (ny minisitera) - toerana izay notazonin'ny ben'ny tanànan'i Moskoa Sergey Sobyanin teo aloha. |

21 | Perhaps as the result of increased attention the account was briefly made private [ru], but later came back. | Angamba satria nahasarika olona betsaka ilay sary, dia nanjary voatokana tsy naseho ny rehetra [ru] ilay kaonty, saingy niverina ihany taty aoriana. |
22 | Maybe Kadyrov was at first uncomfortable - after all he is a latecomer to the micro-blogging arena, having only started a Twitter account during the summer of 2012 (his first tweet as @RKadyrov [ru] was on June 20). | Angamba tsy nahazoazo aina i Kadyrov tany am-boalohany - na izany aza, vao faramparany izy no nanatevin-daharana ny tontolon'ny bilaogy-madinika, nanomboka nampiasa kaonty Twitter izy nandritra ny fahavaratra tamin'ny taona 2012 (tamin'ny 20 Jiona ny sioka voalohany nalefany @RKadyrov [ru]). |
23 | Until then, bloggers were sometimes fooled by @kadirovrussia [ru], a humorously fake account active from 2011. | Nanomboka tamin'izany, indraindray voafitaky ny kaonty @kadirovrussia [ru] ny bilaogera, kaonty hosoka be vazivazy sy mazoto nanomboka tamin'ny 2011. |
24 | While Kadyrov's tweets are mostly boring official announcements, the alihan777 Instagram (started in November, 2012) more than makes up for it. | Na dia mora mankaleo hatrany aza ireo filazana ofisialy amin'ny siokan'i Kadyrov, ny kaonty Instagram alihan777 (nanomboka tamin'ny volana Novambra 2012) no nampiaka-danja azy. |

26 | Does Kadyrov use the account himself? | I Kadyrov ihany ve no mampiasa ilay kaonty? |
27 | Even when linking to a photograph of himself, Surkov, and Prime Minister Medvedev on his Twitter, Kadyrov remains somewhat tongue in cheek [ru]: | Sy mandefa rohy ny sariny manokana, Surkov, ary ny Praiminisitra Medvedev ao amin'ny Twitter-ny, toa mitodika amin'olon-kafa [ru] i Kadyrov: |
28 | Look at the photo I found at @alihan777 instagram.com/p/VMjbDKr5_K/ | Jereo ity sary hitako ity @alihan777 instagram.com/p/VMjbDKr5_K/ |

30 | However, even though Kadyrov has not publicly acknowledged that he is alihan777, it is almost certainly him. | Na dia izany aza, na dia tsy nampafantarin'i Kadyrov ampahibemaso aza fa izy no alihan777, fantatra fa mety tena izy tokoa io. |
31 | That is, if we are to believe Tina Kandelaki, who [ru] has [ru] been [ru] plugging [ru] alihan777 ever since returning from a recent visit to Chechnya. | Izany hoe, raha matoky an'i Tina Kandelaki isika, izay [ru] nifandray [ru] tamin'i alihan777 hatramin'ny niverenany tamin'ny fitsidihany vao haingana tany Chechnya. |
32 | Tellingly, in her own Instagram photos along with Kadyrov (seen above), she refers [ru] to him as alihan777: | Mampiseho mazava, fa amin'ny sariny manokana amin'ny Instagram miaraka amin'i Kadyrov (jereo ato ambony), mampitaha [ru] ny tenany amin'i alihan777 izy: |
33 | @alihan777 thinks that now is the time to invest into bonds and technology. | Mihevitra i @alihan777 fa fotoana hampanjariana ny adidy sy ny teknolojia izao. |
34 | He really likes the Instagram case, but he thinks that its still too early to buy | Tena ankafiziny ny Instagram, saingy mihevitra izy fa mbola aloha be loatra raha hividy |
35 | http://instagram.com/p/Uw-9Rdr58d/ | http://instagram.com/p/Uw-9Rdr58d/ |
36 | Kadyrov, who has spent much of his time as leader of Chechnya solidifying the peace process started by his father Ahmat, often presents a rough exterior in the photos. | Nanamafy ny fametrahana ny filaminana efa natomboky ny rainy Ahmat i Kadyrov, izay nandany ny ankamaroan'ny fotoanany tamin'ny fitantanana an'i Chechnya, ary matetika mampiseho fahamatorana ivelany amin'ireo sary. |
37 | In that, he seems to follow in the footsteps of his mentor, Vladimir Putin. | Amin'izany, toa manaraka ny dian'ilay mpanoro hevitra azy ankafiziny izy, dia i Vladimir Putin. |
38 | At other times he exhibits his religiosity. | Indraindray, mampiseho ny maha-mpivavaka azy izy. |
39 | For example, the first photograph in alihan777's album is of a lock of hair allegedly belonging to the Prophet Mohammed [ru], exhibited in Abu Dhabi. | Ohatra, ny sary voalohan'ny ao amin'ny fitehirizan-tsarin'i alihan777 dia ahitana sangam-bolo tahaka ny volon'ny Mpminany Mohammad [ru], naranty tao Abu Dhabi. |
40 | Besides for his religion and tracking down Wahhabi guerrillas in the Chechen mountains, Kadyrov seems to like, in no particular order: | Ankoatra ny fivavahany sy ny fanenjehana ireo mpiady anaty akata Wahhabi ao an-tendrombohitry Tchechenia, toa izao raha tsy ampilaharina ny zavatra ankafizin'i Kadyrov: |
