In Instagram, the chairman of the Chechnya Parliament Magomed Daudov, there are no threats to the chief editor of the publication "Caucasian Knot" Grigory Shvedov.
This was said by RBC, the press secretary of the head of Chechnya Alvi Karimov, commenting on Daudov’s post about the “Psa Swede”, which the Swedes considered a threat addressed to him.
“Daudov did not write anywhere that Shvedov needs to be pulled out. My personal opinion: Shvedov really wants to mean him. It is said about the dog “Swedes”, and the Swedes dog or something? Well, let him consult with his lawyers, ”Karimov said.
It was not possible to contact Daudov RBC. Grigory Shvedov on January 7 said that the lawyers of the publication are checking the record on Daudov’s Instagram “How to untie the“ Caucasian Knot ”?” on the signs of crime under an article on the obstruction of the work of journalists.
In the post, the head of the Chechen parliament does not mention Swedov or employees of the “Caucasian Knot”, we are talking about the PSA nicknamed “Swede” in the record. As they say in the post, “this is a very strange dog. The view is formidable, but cowardly. Furely, but impudent <...> It is time to call the veterinarian with large forceps, it is high time. And what? Tear out a “buffet” a pair of fangs of “wisdom”, but to shorten the tongue to standard sizes. ”
As the Swedes noted, the post was written in such a way, "that the reader should not have much doubt, who is talking about." At the same time, he does not consider the threat to “tear his teeth and shorten the tongue” addressed personally to him. According to Shvedov, although "the post was personal in nature, these threats are more likely to be the desire to intimidate the community of journalists."
"Mediazona" notes that Daudov had previously compared people who criticize the authorities of Chechnya with dogs. For example, he wrote about the “Beijes“ Kalyap ”,“ Vienna ”as a bell-shaped throat and a loud“ echo ”,“ Moscow Forethly Dog “Ponomare” and “Yashka”-Doving. ”
As the publication suggests, Daudov in this entry was meant to human rights activist Igor Kalyapin, the chief editor of Echo of Moscow, Alexei Venediktov, the director of the Lev Ponomarev and politician, Ilya Yashin.
At the end of December, the Caucasian Knot published material about the murder of detainees on suspicion of attacking police officers in Grozny. The Personal authorities rejected this information.
