Ramzan Kadyrov said that Allah “gives” money to the republic
*The head of the republic said this in response to a question from a correspondent for Russian News Service about the sources of the country’s funding. “Allah gives. I don’t know. Somehow the money appears,” R. Kadyrov said. Meanwhile, according to Rosstat (Russia’s federal statistics agency), Chechnya is the Russian region that receives the most funding from the federal budget. Earlier, the republic’s Minister of Economic Development and Trade, Abdula Magomadov, said that the Chechen government had submitted to Russia’s Ministry of Regional Development a proposal for inclusion in the state program “Development of the North Caucasus Federal District.” For its projects, Grozny is requesting 498.289 billion rubles through 2025. As a reminder, Grozny is celebrating City Day today. To mark the occasion, the Chechen authorities organized a press tour. A large group of Russian and foreign media representatives arrived in Grozny from Moscow. * http://www.rusnovosti.ru/news/166551/
Also today, on R. A. Kadyrov’s birthday, Shakira and Vanessa-Mae will perform in the city of Grozny. According to media reports, Vanessa-Mae alone will be paid half a million dollars for a single performance. There are also reports that actors Kevin Costner, Hilary Swank, and Eva Mendes may take part in the celebration. Shakira has never performed in Smolensk. And Kevin Costner has never been to Kazan. Hilary Swank will not be dropping by Nizhny Novgorod. Khabarovsk longs for Eva Mendes. Allah does not love them. He does not give them money.
