Putin gets surprising support from Chechnya

President Vladimir Putin of Russia receives surprising support from Chechnya as a country that was occupied in 1999 by the Russian forces under his command at the expense of causing hundreds of thousands of Chechens to die then at war.  

 

A surprising move came from Ramzan Kadyrov, the Kremlin-guided Chechen President, when he had a group of demonstrators march in favour of Putin’s re-election as the president of Russia for a third time in a row, though this is constitutionally impossible. 

 

The puppet administration officials of Chechnya said three separate gatherings attracted a turnout of 30,000.   

 

The marchers carried placards reading words of praise for Putin as a great man of the Russian state who, arguably though, guaranteed peace and stability for Chechens after he ended the war that stroke the Republic of Chechnya.
   

The group also voiced hope for further assistance under the leadership of Putin to maintain future Chechen development across the country. Interestingly enough, the marchers were assertive in their words that Chechnya saw considerable progress only under the leadership of Putin. 

They reached agreement to launch a civilian movement under the official name of “For Putin” to make it constitutionally possible for him to get re-elected for another third term in a raw.  

 

With Putin, forever  


Kadyrov, who appears to have devoted himself to making every effort to get Putin re-elected as the president. “I would like to see Putin remain the president as long as he is alive,” said Kadyrov on October 2 in his address to members of the United Russian Party in its Chechnya office.

 

Kaydrov is positioned atop the list of the United Russian Party candidates to go to Duma on December 2. Putin made it clear in his October 2 statement that he would run for the Duma as a candidate of the same party.  KU/ÖZ/FT
