[4] A man who criticised local officials and Kadyrov in a YouTube appeal to the Russian President became a target of threats and had to flee to Dagestan.

According to human rights activist Svetlana Gannushkina, he had to flee after Alaudinov, who was then Chechnya's Deputy Interior Minister, threatened to kill him.

[9][10] In 2019 Alaudinov was detained in a Kadyrov-administered purge of federalists associated with Ibragim Temirbaev, a now-deposed mayor of Argun, Chechen Republic who was killed in a car accident two years later.

[12][13] On 17 March 2022, Ramzan Kadyrov announced he was sending 1,000 troops to fight in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, and that they would be led by Alaudinov.

As war broke out in Ukraine, Alaudinov finally got a chance to atone for his sins and help Kadyrov save his private army from ruin.

"[4] In May 2024, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty cited Russian opposition sources stating that Alaudinov had a good reputation within the Russian federal government after helping integrate former Wagner Group members into the 141st Motorized Regiment following the Wagner Group rebellion, and was favored as a successor to Kadyrov by the defense establishment.

[18] On 20 June 2024, Alaudinov made an appearance on the national TV broadcast of Olga Skabeyeva, where he talked about the end of the SMO.

Conscripts had been exempted by Vladimir Putin from serving in the Russian invasion of Ukraine and he never expected the Ukrainians to attack Russia.
