Еще один москвич на коленях извинился за оскорбления в адрес чеченцев
5 October 2026

Московский блогер после оскорбительных высказываний о чеченцах во время прямой трансляции записал видео с извинениями. На записи он стоит на коленях и обращается к чеченскому народу:
«Хочу искренне извиниться за свои слова перед Чечней. В тот момент я был пьян и наговорил лишнего, но это не оправдание моему поведению. Я понимаю, что мои слова могли быть восприняты как неуважение к вам и к вашему народу Чечня. Я не хотел проявить неуважение и сейчас искренне сожалею о том, что сказал. Прошу у вас прощения! Я уважаю вас и понимаю, что должен был следить за своими словами, независимо от того, в каком состоянии я находился. Больше такого с моей стороны не повторится», — сказал блогер.
