A cat for Ramzan

This week, Ramzan Kadyrov, as they often say, "became the hero of social networks." But not Russian, which he is probably already used to, but the most worldly.

The wave of the popular satirical show Last Week Tonight on the American channel HBO John Oliver helped to launch the wave.

He began his sketch according to the words that “Kadyrov is known throughout the world as a corrupt official and a cruel dictator,” but then added that this time the head of Chechnya got into the news on a different reason, and talked about this record on the Kadyrovsky Instagram.

Having mocking the photos of Kadyrov (for example, he counted seven different T -shirts there with Putin’s portrait), Oliver suggested arranging a rally: sending cat photographs to social networks and asking if this was Kadyrovsky.

The American (and not only) audience willingly responded.

Have you watched this curtain?

I hope that in Chechnya there is no Chinese quarter, otherwise he will not see his cat again.

Stop looking for me, I joined the witness protection program

Kadyrov also did not remain in debt. In his Instagram, he posted a photo of Oliver, drawing him a T -shirt with a portrait of Putin and accompanying the picture with a mocking text in English.

... Oliver complains that we put on T -shirts with a photograph of the President of Russia - Vladimir Putin. Yes, millions of people are happy to wear T -shirts depicting a national leader ... Vladimir Vladimirovich wise, courageous, decisive leader who managed to resist the United States and their assistants. Thanks to Putin, we defeated terrorists, among whom were US citizens and European state. The country, under the leadership of Obama, is incurring under the guise of peacekeeping operations of the spark of new wars and bloody internal conflicts in which millions of people die. Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria ... That's why it is not surprising that Oliver also wanted to appear in public in a T -shirt with the image of Putin, not Obama.
