In Dagestan, public sector workers were brought out to a rally in support of Kerimov, against whom Kadyrov declared a blood feud
A mass rally "For our Suleiman!" was held among employees of state institutions in Dagestan in support of billionaire senator Kerimov.
 
Municipalities and state institutions, the Makhachkala airport, kindergartens, children's and youth sports schools and others are recording video messages about his contribution to the development of Dagestan.
 
In addition, State Duma deputy Rizvan Kurbanov, who is undergoing treatment abroad, recorded a video message in which he denied his participation in the preparation of the assassination attempt on Kadyrov, expressed respect for the family of the Chechen leader, and also called for uniting around Putin in the "fight against fascism." According to him, he has no relation to the Wildberries company.
 
"I officially declare that I have never participated in the preparation of an attempt on the life of the respected Kadyrov Ramzan Akhmatovich. And the Almighty is my witness. I have always had and continue to have deep respect for the Kadyrov family. Ever since the time when I was very close friends with Akhmat-Khadzhi. I am sure that the time will come when justice will prevail. And those scoundrels who are today bringing in these discords, who are trying to slander today - they will suffer the punishment they deserve," said Kurbanov.
 
Earlier, the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov accused Kerimov, as well as State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov of ordering his murder. The Chechen leader declared blood feud against them if they do not prove their innocence.
