Chechen Parliament Speaker Magomed Daudov said he turned to Russia's Attorney General Igor Krasnov. The reason is a statement by director Alexander Sokurov in an interview with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In his Instagram account, Daudov called the director's statement provocative and aimed at inciting hatred and enmity between the nations of the country. Now the parliament of the Chechen Republic is asking to take the situation under personal control. Daudov also recalled that a letter requesting an inspection had also been sent to Alexander Bastrykin, chairman of Russia's Committee of Inquiry. He offered to let go of anyone who no longer wanted to be with Russia. These words provoked harsh criticism from Putin. He called on Sokurov to continue the discussion.
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, also criticized Sokurov's speech. On his Telegram channel, he wrote about Sokurov: “I don't like this spoiled face!” Kadyrov also suggested that the competent authorities check Sokurov's words for anti-state and extremist character.
The director himself replied to Kadyrov, stressing that he had said what he said. According to him, the conversation with the president was open.
