Staunton, January 16 – In the
clearest indication yet that Ramzan Kadyrov has no plans to back down from his
calls to treat Vladimir Putin’s opponents as “enemies of the people” -- and
apparently feels that he has no reason to do so -- Magomed Daudov, head of the Chechen
Parliament, has upped the ante, calling for closing down Ekho Moskvy and Dozhd
television.
In a statement released today, Daudov
says that he wants to “lay out in brief [his] vision of the situation which has
arisen today in our country and attempt to report to you [his] concerns about
what is taking place” (grozny-inform.ru/main.mhtml?Part=8&PubID=67814).
Proudly identifying himself as a
member of Kadyrov’s “command,” he says that he nonetheless remains spiritually “a
Russian officer and patriot of [his] country” and thus always tries to act in
the interests of both his own native republic and “Great Russia.”
According to Daudov, “our leader
Ramzan Kadyrov teaches us to look directly at all challenges” and respond with
firmness. He also teaches us, the
parliamentarian says, that we should show “patience even toward those who,
using the words ‘democracy’ and ‘human rights’ try to sow illegality and
arbitrariness” in Russia.
We would be tolerant even in the
future “if it were not for the fact that today we are talking about the
constitutional system and sovereignty of Russia,” Daudov says. “Every Chechen knows very well [on the basis
of his own experience] how the collapse of statehood and political chaos begins
and how it inevitably leads to Civil War.”
He continues: “We have experienced
the actions of terrorists who bloody work is supported by foreign emissaries.
We have seen the tears of children, old men and women who have become the
innocent victims of a well-thought-out combination in the West directed at the
collapse of Russia.”
“The henchmen of North American special
services through various Wahhabi foundations, NGOs and ‘human rights’
organizations from America and Europe” for a long time did not allow Chechens
to return to a peaceful life. Happily,
thanks to the Kadyrovs and Vladimir Putin, things have turned around.
“However, as we see, everything is
not so simple,” especially now “when Russia has begun to declare itself as a
strong and self-respecting state with its own views on what is taking place in the
world,” its enemies are again becoming more active, the Chechen parliament head
says.
“Against the leadership of the
country and its peoples has been unleashed an unprecedentedly large and
deceitful information-terrorist war” to harm Russia and its peoples. This
effort has used “paid-for puppets like Navalny and Khodorkovsky whose names have
become known thanks to their illegally acquired wealth and open betrayal of
state interests.”
It is unclear why “openly hostile
headquarters of the fifth column” like Ekho Moskvy and Dozhd” are allowed to
continue to operate and spread their poison through Russia for their Western
masters.
Or why people like the Shenderoviches,
Venediktovs, Ponomaryevs, Kalyapins, Merzlinkins or Yashins “can mock without
punishment the customs and traditions of various peoples of Russia calling them
wild or even medieval.”
“The time has come when the
Motherland needs wide and at the same time principled decisions,” lest it continue
to allow such people “without a motherland and flag to sow distrust among us
and thus by sparking a bloody conflict hand over our Fatherland to ‘new masters’
as happened already in Yugoslavia, Ukraine and the countries of the Arab world,”
Daudov says.
And he concludes with the following declaration:
“We Chechens considers and consider that people like those enumerated above
especially in the difficult conditions of those challenges facing [Russia] are
traitors and not ‘an opposition’ as they have been accustomed to call
themselves during the years of incitement and hypocrisy.”
