The same is true for the loans of power. During the Jubilee it's better to be a power debtor, to have some direct control over valuable resources which give you leverage than to be a power creditor. So the crisis inverts the normal relations between the courtiers and the barons
That goes on every level. Typically politicians and bureaucrats in any country will at least try to cash out their administrative leverage for monetary benefits and it's delusionary to expect otherwise. And yet, can they do it and how effectively? It depends
Kadyrov not only sent his troops to Chechnya, but launched a massive PR campaign propagandising them. Chechen fighters are putting Chechen flags on Ukrainian military bases. They're cheering Kadyrov and his father. Kadyrov clearly strived for military glory and fame of conquest
It looks like this public rise of Kadyrov makes Kremlin administration anxious. Did you notice that Kremlin is never PR-ing its own generals? They always report - Russian troops captured this or that town. They never mention a specific general. They don't want to give them fame
