Do we have any kind of statistics for how often rebels actually take tourists hostage in Grozny, Chechnya, Russia?

It’s complicated.

As for the “good buddies” thing, the relationship got better in a certain way, due to Kadyrov allowing his countrymen to go fight in Ukraine. On the other hand, certain tensions arise: e.g. several weeks ago some cops from another region killed a suspect in Chechnya, after which Kadyrov declared that any non-Chechen policeman may be fired upon if he doesn’t warn local authorities.

So… most likely, local police will do their best to protect any foreigner in order to avoid a scandal. Kidnappings aren’t likely to occur in Grozny itself, but rather in remote villages. But things may change any moment.
