With reference to the military commissariat of the republic, TASS reported that Chechnya will be excluded from the spring draft of 2016.

According to the military commissioner of Chechnya Ahmed Dzheirkhanov there will be no draft in the region, as "the guys are going through adaptation". "For almost a quarter of a century Chechens were not drafted in the army," - he said.

Large-scale conscription of young Chechens of military age occurred for the first time in 22 years in 2014, the quota was 500 people. At the moment the commissariat of Chechnya is analyzing how the Chechen conscripts served. "For now we see a positive dynamic, everything is fine. Commanders of military units sent letters of gratitude to the military commissioner for 181 soldiers, about 100 soldiers received the title of junior commanders," - said Dzheirkhanov.

The commissioner also noted that conscription contingent in Chechnya at the moment is about 86 000 people. In case of successful adaptation of new recruits they will be sent to other regions of Russia.

Spring draft for military service will be conducted from April 1 to July 15.

Every second Russian is confident that the work of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is good for the country as a whole. This is evidenced by a recent data survey conducted by the Russian center for public opinion research (VTSIOM).

As was stated by the Secretary of the General Council of "United Russia", Deputy Duma speaker Sergei Neverov, the results of VTSIOM polls "put an end to disputes about the attitude of people to the member of the Supreme High Council of the party, the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov".

"60% of Russians believe that Kadyrov is a strong independent politician, 36% say that he has achieved a lot and he has good prospects. The trust rating has increased two times since 2007, his respect rating — three times. 49% of Russians noted that Chechen leader brings benefits to our country", — said Sergey Neverov on his page on a social network.

The Secretary of the General Council "United Russia" believes that Russians are able to distinguish truth from falsehood. "This is the answer to those who tried to dilute the information war against a real patriot of his country. The opinion of people and this handful of traitors once again are dispersed. Our people are wise," he said.

In addition, according to VTSIOM, the Chechen leader is known by almost 90% of respondents, and causes mostly positive emotions.

The Russian/Chechen trail from Maidan to the ATO

August 20, 2015

The fact that mercenaries are fighting in the ranks of the Ukrainian army and in units under the control of the Ministry of the Interior is something that has been widely reported. Neo-nazis and radicals of all kind, seeking adventure and easy money, flocked to the Ukrainian side once the fratricidal conflict broke out in the country. Some are fighting for money, which was abundantly poured into the UAF budget by the American government, and some are fighting for an idea. But what is the idea in a fratricidal civil war?

Russia did not remain on the sidelines. Almost immediately, as soon as the volunteers from Russia flocked to Novorossia to help local militia, appeared another stream, less bustling, but no less stable. Ranks of radical nationalists and other public, including the representatives of openly criminal organizations, flocked from Russia to Ukraine. At first, they covered their faces and avoided the camera lens, but soon, believing in their "unique mission" began to give interviews in which they shared their revelations about the motives that led them to the side of the Ukrainian security services.

Most of those who agreed to speak on camera said that they went to the ATO to fight against the criminal Russian regime which had unleashed a fratricidal war in Ukraine. Accordingly, none of them mentioned the generous funding of the National Guard battalions joined by the Russian citizens, most of whom are wanted in their country, and that the war in Donbass was started by Poroshenko.

Well alright, let them believe what they want, it's easier. Easier to kill. But there is one more thing which they preferred not to voice: many of them went to Ukraine long before the civil war broke out in the country. Mercenaries from all over the world played a significant role in the organization of Maidan in 2013 and the subsequent coup. They were the force that spilled the first blood in Kiev. Then they joined the ranks of territorial battalions and continued their "struggle for an idea" already in Donbass, killing civilians and destroying the peaceful cities.

This document, which has not yet been freely released, features a Russian citizen born in the Chechen republic, Ruslan Arsaev, with the call sign “Chechen,” who is a fighter of the “Aidar” battalion (V0624). This document didn’t appear by chance. With fighters of “Aidar,” Arsaev presented themselves as fighters of a counterintelligence battalion. It is indicated that this citizen of Russia did indeed participate in the ATO in contingent V0624, but there is no counterintelligence battalion there. In principle, the presence or absence of counterintelligence in the battalion "Aidar" is of little interest to us. The other information is important: Arsaev, according to this document, actively participated in the confrontations on the Maidan in 2013-2014. He took part not alone, but as part of a group of others who were “visiting Ukrainian patriots" like himself. Now it becomes clear who is the main driving force "of the Ukrainian national revolution."

Arsaev himself, who not long ago was the pride of the Maidan and a hero of the ATO, was arrested on the territory of the Schastye settlement in Lugansk region on April 20, 2015. The fake counterintelligence agent was charged with the creation of bandit groups with all the implications - robbery, looting, and participation in anti-state protests. This “hero of Ukraine” is now doing his time, but how many more such people are fighting in the ranks of the UAF or the National Guard? Are they fighting and killing for the glory of Ukraine?

Ramzan Kadyrov: Western Intelligence Agencies Financed The Terrorist Attack in Chechnya on December 4

Ramzan Kadyrov: Facebook; Instagram

The head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov named the suspect in the financing of the organizers of the terrorist attack in Grozny in his post on Instagram:

"I know the names of almost each and every police officer serving in Chechnya. Especially those who are special forces soldiers. I know their marital status. All of them are like brothers to me. A few days ago during a liquidation of a terrorist gang 14 of my comrades have died. I treat it as deaths of very close people, deaths of my BROTHERS.

Earlier I stated that families should be responsible for criminal actions of their sons if they did not stop them or did not contact the police. Kalyapin stood up for the bandits and their relatives. In Chechnya I am in charge of  human rights. Not Kalyapin or anyone else took a single step to help the families of the dead soldiers, never asked how many kids were left orphans, whether they have a roof over their head. The authorities have information that the money of Western intelligence agencies from Ahmad Umarov was transferred to the bandits by a man named Kalyapin. Need to check if indeed this is the same Kalyapin. And if confirmed, to hold him responsible.

I will not allow anyone, under any mask to support the bandits. I don't care what ID he's got in his pocket, and from what Embassy he receives compensation. I took on the responsibility of protecting the security of the people and I will do it, even if the whole West and all its minions turn upside down!"

On December 4, 2014, a group of unknown men, driving three vehicles, attacked the post of traffic patrol in Grozny. The militants entered the Printing House and a school. During the operation of the elimination of the extremists, 14 security officers were killed, 28 were injured.
