. Earlier, Kadyrov leaked an opposition report that called him a threat to Russia's security. "My time is past. Every human has a limit. I believe Kadyrov has passed his peak," the Chechen leader said, referring to himself in the third person, in an interview on Saturday.
Kadyrov has been the president of Chechnya, a southern Russian republic with a turbulent and violent history, since 2007. Before that he served for two years as republic's prime minister and held several other significant posts related to security and governance before that. Speaking to NTV television, Kadyrov refused to speculate who could become president of Chechnya after him, saying his team had plenty of strong candidates. He said would not seek a position in the Russian federal government.
"Family, personal life, Islamic studies - that's where I see myself. If there is a need for me to take in hands a shovel, an assault rifle or a backpack - I can do that," he said, adding that he believes that he's done his duty to his people. After the interview, some Chechen public figures called for mass rallies to plead with Kadyrov to stay in power, but on Sunday he asked them not to do it. "Of course, I am happy to see this public support," Kadyrov said.
"It proves once more that a man should dedicate his life to his people. That's not what I voiced my opinion for," he wrote on his Instagram account, which he often uses to convey messages online.
Kadyrov's shock announcement came days after
liberal opposition politician Ilya Yashin published a report, in which he called Kadyrov a threat to Russia's national security. He accused the Chechen leader of separatism, saying he has a private army, imposes Sharia law in Chechnya in violation of Russian and maintains a lavish lifestyle funded by embezzled money.
Ironically, the report was leaked online by Kadyrov himself hours before its release. The Chechen leader said the report was blather and that he wanted everyone to see his disregard for it.
Comment: The future does certainly look bleak with major changes on the way. One could hope that people in general would wake up before the implementation of the worst of it, yet it seems only a major shock to their collective lives could provide the impetus to awaken them to the reality being created. It seems therefore that TPTB will proceed, if at all possible, with the slow grinding decent toward total control financially and economically and possibly a wider war in order to give justification for the final stages of their plan, such as a cashless society.
Whatever happens and whatever TPTB do to divide and inflame hatred among people in order to fulfill their plans remember to stay human and hold on to that which the puppet masters lack - truth, compassion, conscience and the valuing of helping others.
