Quotes
[edit | edit source]There is no point in negotiating with puppets, you have to talk to the one who controls them. |

About him
[edit | edit source]Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he had been a leading actor at the Grozny Drama Theater, performing Shakespeare and Russian classics, dreaming of a cultural renaissance in Chechnya that would follow the end of communism. After the fall of the Soviet Union and Chechnya's declaration of independence, he became president of the National Society of Chechen Actors, "a failed Chechen Ronald Reagan," as he joked. But then the war broke out. |
