The speaker of the Chechen parliament Magomed Daudov said that the authorities of the region will apply to the Investigative Committee with a request to check the words of director Alexander Sokurov during a dispute with Russian President Vladimir Putin at a meeting of members of the Human Rights Council. The deputy called the director’s speech "an example of how, hiding behind the imaginary care of the fate of Russia, you can openly and cynically strike on the basics of its statehood."
“It seems that our state for the director is only a territory of residence, which he does not perceive as his homeland and does not feel a sense of responsibility for it. On this issue, the Parliament of the Czech Republic will appeal to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin with a request to give a legal assessment of the words of A.N. Sokurov at a HRC meeting,” wrote the speaker of the Chechnya parliament on his Instagram account.
Daudov added that in the event of a visit by Sokurov to Chechnya, he is ready to show him the graves of compatriots who defended the world in the republic and "a single will of the Chechen people to live in the Russian Federation and according to the laws of the Russian Federation."
Sokurov himself called a denunciation the request of the Chechen authorities to check his words. According to the Rise, the director advised Kadyrov to address his claims to the president, who created the Human Rights Council.
"Well, of course, this is a denunciation! But is this the first time from the Chechen politicians, if they are politicians? Are I the first to destroy, to remove? I am not the first and, apparently, not the last. Well, what to do? Such a reality. There is such a place in Russia," Sokurov said.
At the same time, Sokurov in the commentary "Interfax" said that he was afraid of criminal prosecution after a dispute with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“I am afraid, but I hope that the president will not allow this. The Human Rights Council are designed for that so that different points of view, including political issues, are expressed there,” Sokurov explained for this.
Earlier, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov proposed to check for extremism, the words of Alexander Sokurov about the Caucasus. He wrote about this in his telegram channel. Kadyrov was outraged by the words about the separation of the Russian regions, he believes that this statement can be considered as working out the idea of the United States on the collapse of Russia.
"The Chechen Republic was, is and will be an integral part of the Russian Federation! Point! In the place of competent authorities, I would give the words of Nihilist Sokurov a legal assessment for the fact of an anti -state and extremist nature," said the head of Chechnya in Telegraph.
Kadyrov several times in his message insulted the director, called him a "corrupt muzzle" and advised him to read the "latest history of the Chechen Republic." Sokurov himself called the head of the region "senile", and accused the member of the HRC of allegedly longing for international recognition as a human rights activist.
Director Alexander Sokurov, who entered into a polemic with the president, said that he was ready to talk with Vladimir Putin again. According to him, if the head of state believes that they have something to discuss, then we must meet.

Vladimir Putin called the speech of Alexander Sokurov Manifesto, who is "a set of problems and a set of fears that some part of our citizens have."
