The simple truth of Ramzan Kadyrov

The head of Chechnya is alien to pseudo-democratic omissions

Still, Ramzan Kadyrov is a very necessary person for Russia. After all, what is the main complaint of the people to their rulers? The fact is that they not only steal, but also lie. And the head of Chechnya always speaks the truth, even if it diverges from the officially expressed state position.

State Duma deputies, say, insist that the status of a foreign agent does not prevent human rights activists from doing their work, and Kadyrov replies that since the Committee against Torture receives money from abroad, then these foreign hirelings will not work in his republic. The Ministry of Justice in Strasbourg proves that Russia strictly implements the Human Rights Convention, and Kadyrov declares that he will destroy the houses of relatives of terrorists and expel them from Chechnya. The Investigative Committee calls the Chechen security forces the murderers of Boris Nemtsov - and Kadyrov boldly objects that they are not criminals, but fearless warriors and true patriots of Russia. Well, or Vladimir Putin, in an interview with German journalists, assures that Russia has pluralism and a multi-party system, and Kadyrov calls for judging the “so-called non-systemic opposition” as enemies of the people.

And the comrades-in-arms of the head of Chechnya are also completely selflessly truthful. One, having heard the comments of Human Rights Commissioner Ella Pamfilova (she reminded Kadyrov that in Russia one can only be tried for specific crimes), immediately invites the Ombudsman to apologize for such a flagrantly untrue statement. Another says for his leader what he diplomatically kept silent about, and calls the “enemies of the people” by name, so that no Kremlin officials can, defending Kadyrov in front of journalists, say that he did not mean peaceful oppositionists, but all sorts of radicals and extremists.

Well, and most importantly: unlike many other leaders, Kadyrov not only talks. His words sooner or later translate into deeds - be it the destruction of the houses of terrorists by “unidentified persons” or the destruction of the Grozny headquarters of the Committee against Torture by “indignant public.” Of course, the head of Chechnya himself has nothing to do with this, it’s just a completely coincidental coincidence that all this is happening in full accordance with the position he expressed. And in this, by the way, he surpassed even his commander-in-chief Vladimir Putin, who, for example, has long been saying that the crisis is about to end, but it just doesn’t end and doesn’t end...
