Out of harm's way

In Chechnya, the resignation of President Alkhanov has long been expected. Today, a series of dismissals has begun, and “at their own” request: several people from the entourage of Chechen President Alu Alkhanov resigned. In particular, the Secretary of the Security Council, two presidential advisers, and the deputy head of the department of external relations. Previously, the president's press secretary, Isaraev, was fired at his own request. Chechen politicians have not yet made official statements, but, apparently, Ramzan Kadyrov will soon remain the only leader.
