The Chechen Republic, under the direction of Kremlin's protege Ramzan Kadyrov, is a serious problem for the whole of the Russian Federation, and on all formal grounds is already a separate formation.

This opinion was expressed by film director Alexander Sokurov in an interview with "Fontanka".

He noted that Chechnya has its own army, there is active Islamization and militarization, the republic is praised for its hardness of heart and demonstratively does not observe the constitution and laws of the Russian Federation.

"I had meetings with Chechen guys, I know Ramzan Kadyrov and met with him two or three times. The mood of the Chechens is militant. Young people express a desire to unite with Turkey and create a huge Muslim state. They are absolutely sure that they put Russia in the pose of the washerwoman. In my opinion, this is not a republic or a part of the Russian Federation. This is a separate formation, "Sokurov said..

According to him, Chechnya itself is increasingly calling for secession from the Russian Federation, while he stressed that Moscow itself must immediately begin discussing the procedure for secession of the republic and grant it independence.

"At the same time, the military defense of the Russian Federation along the borders. And to live each according to their own interests, as two different states. You noticed that it costs nothing to the head of this sector to threaten Europe, our federal ministers, even power. The Grozny leaders finally quarrel with the Russian Federation with the whole world. As a citizen of Russia, I do not want this. And without this many problems, "he explained..

According to the director, no one in Russia can feel safe when it comes to Chechnya.

"If the pathos of these actions is national self-awareness, of course, the Chechen sector should form a separate Chechen state. But we must understand what this means, and respond appropriately to this in terms of the distribution of military forces.

But this is my appraisal opinion, and, perhaps, I am mistaken. They fought for a long time for independence, and we were condemned for a long time for this war throughout the world, "he said..

Sokurov added that former President Boris Yeltsin needed to give Chechnya independence and forget about it, "as a terrible dream".

As reported by the "Observer", earlier Russia made an unpleasant forecast for Chechnya.
