Blogger Magomadov ignores curses of his relatives in Chechnya

Said-Khusein Magomadov, who lives in Europe and who was cursed by his relatives for criticizing the authorities of Chechnya, has not reacted in public to a gathering of his relatives. In his recent video, posted on October 1, Said-Khusein Magomadov reproached Ramzan Kadyrov for the principle of collective responsibility applied in the republic.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Said-Khusein Magomadov's relatives had held a gathering, where they cursed him for his texts criticizing Ramzan Kadyrov and Chechen authorities.

In his video entitled "Collective Responsibility", like in his other videos, Said-Khusein Magomadov is sitting in a car in front of a mobile phone camera.

In the video, the blogger speaks Russian and reproaches Ramzan Kadyrov for applying the principle of collective responsibility to residents of Chechnya. Meanwhile, Said-Khusein Magomadov also mentions that in July, Ramzan Kadyrov himself expressed his indignation with the sanctions imposed against him by the US authorities, which also affected Medni Kadyrova, the wife of the Chechen leader, and his daughters Aishat and Khadizhat.

In his speech, Said-Khusein Magomadov occasionally uses bad words, but, while addressing the leader of Chechnya in absentia, the blogger does not resort to offensive language. "Ramzan, you say one thing and then another. Please decide on your opinion and tell me as a man what you want. This will be fair, I think. If there are any claims, please talk of them to me or to other bloggers, and not to relatives. Please do not force their wives to visit the ChGTRK (Chechen State TV and Radio Broadcast Company), do not shoot any videos ... We do not live in the Middle Ages. We live in the modern world," Said-Khusein Magomadov says on the video.
