The actual head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrova, was involved in the murder of Anna Politkovskaya. This is the opinion of Vyacheslav Izmailov, one of the participants in the investigation undertaken by the editorial office of Novaya Gazeta, where the late journalist worked. “We don’t know whether Kadyrov himself ordered this crime, but we know that he is aware of who did it,” the Spanish newspaper El Pais quotes a 53-year-old retired major who is involved in rescuing people kidnapped in Chechnya from captivity.
