Krasnodar deputies demand that the head of Chechnya apologize to Bastrykin
"KadyrovApologize" - this hashtag accompanied the publications in the Telegram channels of Krasnodar deputies Sergei Klimov and Sergei Kusmakov.
 
Both officials are calling on the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov to apologize to the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Bastrykin.
 
"I am outraged that the head of the region allows himself to "show his place" to the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation Alexander Ivanovich Bastrykin. He protects us, our country. We must protect him," Kusmakov wrote.
 
Klimov supported his colleague, sharing his message in his Telegram channel.
 
"I fully support my brother and deputy, Sergei Kusmakov! No one has the right to tell Alexander Ivanovich what to do, except the President! "We will not let Bastrykin be offended," the deputy emphasized.
 
Earlier, during a direct line in Grozny, Ramzan Kadyrov criticized the heads of the Investigative Committee and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Alexander Bastrykin and Vladimir Kolokoltsev, saying that they "are not in their places." The head of Chechnya spoke in defense of 14-year-old Chechen teenager Muslim Murdiyev, accused of hooliganism as part of a group of people by prior conspiracy.
 
"They will not put him in jail, they will not do anything to him. I personally spoke with everyone. He will be released soon," Kadyrov assured.
