The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, the second time in recent days raised the issue of his own resignation, saying he was ready at any moment to leave the occupied post. At the same time it significantly softened rhetoric against the federal security forces: in particular, admitted that his statement about the shooting to kill by law enforcement agencies from other regions was made on emotion. Experts believe that Kadyrov is trying to extinguish the conflict with federal law enforcers.
On Thursday, the radio station “Moscow speaking” Ramzan Kadyrov said that 20 times already asked Vladimir Putin to dismiss him. “Youth is growing. This region (Chechnya) longer support the federal center than all the other regions. Do you think me easy? I say, I’m happy to 20 times requested that they let me go, “- said the head of Chechnya. According to him, for his office, he never clung to, “I asked, and today I ask, I will gladly ready to leave. We have a good team. ”
This is the second week of the statement, which raises the issue of Kadyrov’s own resignation. “I grunt supreme commander. If you give me the order, I will execute it at 100%. I’ll go – go, I too ready to die “- he declared on April 23.
statements of resignation were made public at the height of the conflict with the heads of federal law enforcement agencies.
After the death of Chechen Jambulat Dadaeva, which at the time detention in the country, law enforcement officers shot from Stavropol, Kadyrov , the Chechen security forces if they are not informed about the upcoming actions can “shoot to kill” by colleagues from other subjects.
After the incident management IC in the Chechen Republic initiated a criminal case under article 286 of the Criminal Code (abuse of power) in connection with the special operation in Grozny, Stavropol police. But the chairman of the Investigative Committee Alexander Bastrykin canceled the initiation of proceedings.
In turn, the Interior Ministry has denied the accusations against the head of Chechnya, Stavropol police, saying that the republican security forces were informed about the purpose of their visit. The demand Kadyrov to open fire on the ministry called unacceptable.
On Thursday, the head of Chechnya said that he had in mind.
«I made a statement on the emotions. Just a shame it was that one case, second, third. It is purely on emotion. My advisor told me, too, “Let’s see, do not hurry.” “We live in a legal state – in Russia, so we give criminals. We destroy the terrorists. If a person has committed a crime, then I do not intercede for him, “- said Kadyrov.
However, he still believes the decision to abolish the institution of criminal proceedings wrong, but he said Bastrykin “is not a man to be played,” and if the Commission, working in Chechnya, found violations, he “definitely opened a criminal case.”
Also Kadyrov said that “with pleasure” will testify in the murder of Boris Nemtsov.
Senior Fellow of the Center for Caucasus MGIMO Russian Vadim Mukhanov recalls that this is not the first conflict between Kadyrov and federal law enforcement agencies, “Remember that in 2008, he clashed with the battalion” Vostok “, which is actually at that time obeyed the GRU of the Defense Ministry.”
According to the expert, in the public domain then it said that the conflict was extinguished only by the intervention from the top. “Kadyrov is not just a regional leader, he was a favorite of the federal government,” – he says.
Mukhanov believes that the management at the time made a hundred percent stake in the Chechen president, effectively cutting off any possibility to change it. Tactically, the decision was correct but strategically creates problems.
«Kadyrov’s resignation would be most inconvenient solution” – says Mukhanov. At the federal center in mind there is no possible successor as head of the Czech Republic.
However, the head of the Chechen branch of the republican Communist Party Magomed Ahmatov disagree with these statements and believes that Kadyrov’s statement of readiness to resign, may be explained as the time of his concerns about the possible resignation: “The fact that the country has a lot of decent people who can become the head of the Chechen Republic, and to lead it to a brighter future. ”
According to the Communists consider that, in case of leaving Kadyrov, the situation in Chechnya is destabilized – is misleading.
« When he was dismissed, absolutely nothing will change for the worse. On the other hand, perhaps there will be changes for the better “- said Ahmatov. He notes that Kadyrov is not only periodically announces his possible resignation, but also recalls its fight against gangs.
Such statements are, on the one hand, the populist goal – they have to show that a politician is not holding on to power, and, on the other hand, Kadyrov seems to be saying to the federal center that without it the country will begin again the anarchy and banditry.
A spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin soon after the interview, said he had no information on the request of the head of the Chechen Republic of the resignation.
Today’s announcement looks like Kadyrov, “if not conciliatory, something soothing,” says Mukhanov. Neither Kadyrov nor the federal authorities do not seek to further fuel the conflict, “Kadyrov satisfied prevailing balance of power. No direct threat, he will not be pedaling conflicts. What are the benefits to him? »
Ahmatov treats attempt Chechen leader mitigate the conflict with the security forces as follows:” A bad compromise is better than a good quarrel. ”
«If a man who never went back on their word, giving back up, most likely, he was given to understand that the conflict with the power block undesirable” – suggests the head of the Centre for the Study and Prevention of Extremism xenophobia Institute of Sociology Emil Pain. At the same time, the expert agrees that in the near term care Kadyrov’s “highly unlikely.”
A high-ranking source “Gazety.Ru” in the government said that the question of the resignation of the head of the Chechen Republic is not necessary, and it is unlikely he ready for it.
The statements on this subject, he explains emotional Chechen leader. As a significant softening of rhetoric in relation to federal law enforcement officers, in the opinion of the source, the head of Chechnya decided to smooth the conflict on its own initiative: “He’s a smart guy and passionate though. He understands that the conflict no one needs. ”
