Days has fused naturally with the “Republic’s preparations to mark the 55th anniversary of the birth of the first President of the Chechen Republic, Hero of Russia, Akhmed Kadyrov,” as Government Order No. 241 of May 24, 2006, signed by R. Kadyrov, puts it. The odd idea of marking this anniversary is in fact a convenient way of bypassing such undesirable distractions as Victory Day, because it would clearly be inappropriate to have Chechens celebrating May 9 when that is also the day Kadyrov Senior was blown up. That consideration must clearly take priority over any rejoicing at the victory over fascism.

No creative initiatives are invited as to how to mark Akhmet-hadji Kadyrov’s 55th birthday. The Son of the Best of the Best has already made all the “preparations.” These the document lists as:

Quotations from A. Kadyrov to be used in television broadcasts:

“My aim is not to stop the war, but to end war once and for all;” “My weapon is the Truth, in the face of which any army is powerless.”

A list of those to be interviewed about Kadyrov Senior. Who are they?

First and foremost, the son: “Interview with R. Kadyrov, ‘My Father Taught Me How To Live’;” followed by “Reminiscences by Khozh-Akhmed Kadyrov” (an uncle), “He Grew even as I Watched;” and “Speech by the Chairman of the People’s Assembly of the Chechen Republic, D.B. Abdurakhmanov, ‘A.A. Kadyrov – Architect of Peaceful Construction in Chechnya’ ”

Ramzan Kadyrov is still a very young man and hasn’t read much history, but what about those who grew up long ago, and remember when plans exactly like these were drawn up by central committees, municipal committees, district committees, and all the rest of them on the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Lenin, the 70th Anniversary of the Birth of Brezhnev, and so on ad nauseam?

To be fair, we should mention that the 55th anniversary celebrations are being financed by the A. Kadyrov Foundation with funds extorted by official racketeers from the Chechen people.

One striking example of the Foundation’s financial practices is provided
