0:02:57.000,0:02:58.000 Olya, what can I add, greetings! 0:02:59.000,0:03:05.000 Indeed, today there were more than 10,000 people at the Biliimhanov’s stadium in Grozny. 0:03:06.000,0:03:11.000 Most of them were representatives of law enforcement agencies of the Chechen Republic plus some civilians. 0:03:12.000,0:03:16.000 The stadium was full of people, every seat was occupied. 0:03:17.000,0:03:19.000 In addition, some of the officers lined up on running tracks. 0:03:20.000,0:03:25.000 Thus, the full count was more than 10,000, because the stadium’s capacity is exactly 10,000. 0:03:26.000,0:03:29.000 Ramzan Kadyrov addressed the crowd with a speech, 0:03:30.000,0:03:34.000 which was directed not only to them, but to all the peoples of Russia. 0:03:35.000,0:03:37.000 In his speech the head of the Republic reminded of the threat of terrorism, 0:03:38.000,0:03:41.000 which hangs today not only on Russia, but also the entire world. 0:03:42.000,0:03:48.000 Also the head of the Republic expressed the full readiness to support the fight against terrorism in Russia and the world 0:03:49.000,0:03:53.000 and protect the interests of the Russian Federation at any point on the globe. 0:03:54.000,0:03:56.000 I suggest to listen to an excerpt from his speech. 0:03:57.000,0:04:02.000 For many years with arms in hands, we fought against international terrorism and defeated it. 0:04:03.000,0:04:07.000 But the threat of terrorism in Russia has not yet disappeared. 0:04:08.000,0:04:11.000 I am sure that you are not indifferent to the fate of our Fatherland. 0:04:12.000,0:04:14.000 We remember the days when enemies surrounded Chechnya from all sides, 0:04:15.000,0:04:19.000 but there was not a single friend who was ready to stand up for the Chechen people. 0:04:20.000,0:04:24.000 This role was assumed not by a soldier, not by a politician, not by a general. 0:04:25.000,0:04:30.000 The mufti and the religious leader of Chechnya Akhmad Haji Kadyrov stood up to protect the people and the integrity of Russia. 0:04:31.000,0:04:35.000 He had no army, weapons and money, but he had the Holy Quran in his hands. 0:04:36.000,0:04:41.000 A formidable weapon for him were courage, fairness and faith in his rightness. 0:04:42.000,0:04:45.000 You could say the whole world was against Akhmad Haji. 0:04:46.000,0:04:50.000 Vladimir Putin was first who believed him, supported and held out a hand of friendship and assistance. 0:04:51.000,0:04:53.000 It was not easy to do. 0:04:54.000,0:04:57.000 Russian President had to prove to the politicians, the military and all the people, 0:04:58.000,0:05:03.000 that only Akhmad Haji will reassemble the torn apart Chechen people, 0:05:04.000,0:05:10.000 restore peace and stability and deal with international terrorism, trying to destroy the country. 0:05:11.000,0:05:13.000 In the most difficult moment, when there were no solutions to complex problems, 0:05:14.000,0:05:20.000 when the question arose for our people to be or not to be, Ahmad Haji appealed to Vladimir Putin 0:05:21.000,0:05:25.000 and not a single time he was refused - I saw it with my own eyes. 0:05:26.000,0:05:31.000 On May 1, 2004, speaking in front of the most famous people, Akhmad Haji said, 0:05:32.000,0:05:36.000 that the time has come when each of us must make his particular choice. 0:05:37.000,0:05:41.000 Today I repeat the words of Akhmad Haji - it's time to make an informed choice. 0:05:42.000,0:05:46.000 And we say to the entire world that we are combat infantry of Vladimir Putin. 0:05:47.000,0:05:51.000 If we receive an order, we will actually prove that this is so. 0:05:52.000,0:05:55.000 For fifteen years Putin is helping our people. 0:05:56.000,0:06:00.000 Now, you and I - and we have tens of thousands of people, specially trained - 0:06:01.000,0:06:05.000 ask the national leader of Russia to consider us a special voluntary unit of the Commander in Chief, 0:06:06.000,0:06:11.000 ready to defend Russia and the stability of its borders, accomplish a combat mission of any complexity. 0:06:12.000,0:06:17.000 We fully realize that the country has a regular army, air force, navy and nuclear forces. 0:06:18.000,0:06:23.000 However, there are tasks that can be solved only by volunteers, and we'll solve them. 0:06:24.000,0:06:27.000 America, Europe have declared an economic war on Russia. 0:06:28.000,0:06:31.000 They are trying to cause chaos in the country, panic, riots. 0:06:32.000,0:06:35.000 But the Russian people have united around their leader - Vladimir Putin. 0:06:36.000,0:06:39.000 The Chechen people takes one of the central places in this unity. 0:06:40.000,0:06:42.000 We have chosen the path of Akhmad Haji, 0:06:43.000,0:06:47.000 he firmly stood on the way of the Messenger of Allah. 0:06:48.000,0:06:51.000 Haji Ahmad said that he is ready to submit, if there is a person who proves 0:06:52.000,0:06:57.000 that he made even a single step that goes against the Quran. 0:06:58.000,0:07:00.000 Such a person has not yet been found. 0:07:01.000,0:07:07.000 Therefore, I firmly believe that you and I are on the path of Allah and His Messenger. 0:07:08.000,0:07:10.000 We will never deviate from this path. 0:07:11.000,0:07:14.000 Starting today, each of us must be ready at any moment to prove 0:07:15.000,0:07:18.000 their dedication to the cause of our lives. 0:07:19.000,0:07:22.000 We will meet Russia's enemy wherever he may be, in its own lair. 0:07:23.000,0:07:27.000 We publicly declare this to the whole world, so that it is clear and understandable to everyone - 0:07:28.000,0:07:32.000 Long live our great motherland Russia! 0:07:33.000,0:07:35.000 Long live our national leader of Russia Vladimir Putin! 0:07:36.000,0:07:46.000 Allahu Akbar! 0:07:47.000,0:07:54.000 Kadyrov: Really, today everyone was instructed that they are going to perform a combat order of the Commander in Chief. 0:07:55.000,0:08:05.000 Not a man, but a few, knew that actually they will not be sent today. 0:08:06.000,0:08:09.000 In fact, they were ready. 0:08:10.000,0:08:14.000 Backpacks, knapsacks, sleeping bags - everything was ready. 0:08:15.000,0:08:17.000 They came to complete the task. 0:08:18.000,0:08:19.000 - And where exactly they can be sent? 0:08:20.000,0:08:23.000 Well, the Commander in Chief decides this. 0:08:24.000,0:08:29.000 We looked at how we are ready to perform the tasks set. 0:08:30.000,0:08:34.000 I think we are happy to fulfill any order. 0:08:35.000,0:08:42.000 We are ready to move to any location in the world where our President tells us. 0:08:43.000,0:08:46.000 I have no doubt that we will not let him down. 0:08:47.000,0:08:49.000 We will execute any order, 100%. 0:08:50.000,0:08:52.000 - Ramzan Akhmatovich, have all these people written reports of resignation? 0:08:53.000,0:09:05.000 Kadyrov: All these people wrote in their reports that they are willing to comply with the order of the Commander in Chief 0:09:06.000,0:09:10.000 voluntarily and anywhere in the world.
