I knew Akhmat-Khadzhi personally. He was a courageous and fearless man, selflessly devoted to his people and perfectly understanding that people want to live in prosperity and safety.
Akhmat-Khadzhi’s merits are highly valued both in the Republic and throughout Russia. Thanks to his wisdom and will, he was able to achieve peace in Chechnya, prevent the spread of religious extremism, banditry and separatism.
Kadyrov Sr. laid a solid foundation for the successful development of the Chechen Republic within the Russian Federation and prepared a worthy replacement of leaders who, like himself, put the interests of the Motherland above all else.
