Yashin tells the date of transfer of petition for Kadyrov's resignation to presidential administration

Ilya Yashin has positively assessed the campaign to collect signatures for the resignation of Ramzan Kadyrov; he plans to hand it over to the presidential administration on the anniversary of the assassination of Boris Nemtsov.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Ilya Yashin, a Moscow oppositional politician, had launched a petition for the resignation of Ramzan Kadyrov from the post of the head of Chechnya. In his petition, Ilya Yashin justified the dismissal demand, among other things, by the threats pronounced by Chechen leadership against Yangulbaev family.

Read the “Caucasian Knot” reference material “How Yangulbaevs became Kadyrov’s enemies” to find how the conflict began, what accusations Ramzan Kadyrov voiced, what the Yangulbaev family answered the leader of Chechnya, and what role in the development of the situation was played by an opposition Telegram channel.

As of 8:00 p.m. Moscow time on February 18, a total of 220,854 people had signed the petition for Kadyrov's resignation.

"I assess the signature campaign positively. On the day of the assassination (of Boris Nemtsov) (on February 27, – note of the "Caucasian Knot"), I intend to hand the petition with signatures over to the presidential administration," Mr Yashin told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
