Ramzan Kadyrov supported the leader of the Prochrevsky motorcycle club "Night Wolves" Alexander Zaldostanov (surgeon) in criticism of the statements of the head of the Satyrikon Theater Konstantin Raikin. The head of Chechnya wrote about this on his page on the VKontakte social network

“I fully support the real patriot of Russia, friend and brother (the allocation of Kadyrov. - Ed.) Alexander Zaldostanov,” Kadyrov writes. “The surgeon expressed his opinion honestly and extremely frankly. And I do not quite understand how to demand from Zaldostanov an apology for an opinion that is close to millions of Russians. We have the right to insult the religious feelings of the dozens. Millions of Orthodox Christians and Muslims, while stating that everything is allowed to art. "

“I declare with all responsibility that neither the authorities nor society have the right to be silent, when“ all the shades of blue ”are on the stage, naked girls run into the temple, photographs of naked boys and girls hang in the museum ... Alexander Sergeyevich very clearly gave the assessment. This is the assessments of the entire healthy Russian society,” the head of Chechnya noted.

On Monday, speaking at the seventh congress of the Union of Theater Workers of Russia, Raikin called "an ugly encroachment on the freedom of creativity" Closing a number of performances and exhibitions. The artist announced the repeated "raids for art." He expressed concern in that the authorities neutrally behave in relation to "groups of allegedly offended people who close the performances, close exhibitions, brazenly behave very much."

“The devil always seduces freedom. And under the guise of freedom, these Raikins want to turn the country into a waste ditch, through which sewage would flow,” the surgeon reacted to these words.

On Thursday, the presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov called on the surgeon to apologize for the sharp statements addressed to the artist. “We treat Raikin’s huge talent with endless respect, and I believe that the demon was just the same of the motorcyclist, who insulted him. I hope he apologizes,” Peskov said.

On the same day, the surgeon said that he did not intend to abandon words to Raikin. “I don’t like these exhibitions, and I don’t refuse my words, and, moreover, I won’t be inactive. I will try to discourage the desire and the opportunity to insult faith, insult the icons and expose these pedophiles there. I don’t like it and I don’t agree with this. I will fight that we don’t have this in our country,” the surgeon said.

On Friday, Peskov did not comment on the surgeon's refusal of apology. "I do not want to comment on this. I believe that everything that was supposed to be said. Everything else is the topic for scholasticism on" round tables "," the press secretary said.
