Kadyrov obliges Chechen youth to receive "spiritual-moral" passports, Indicating his/her religion and tribal belonging.(CaucasianKnot).

Upon a decision of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, every young person aged from 14 to 35 years shall pass the "spiritual-moral certification", having reported on his/her religion and tribal (clannish) belonging, said the Chechen Parliament.

According to the Chechen MPs, who acted on the instruction of Ramzan Kadyrov, every young person "must obtain a document, indicating his/her personal features, nationality, teip and vird association (teip is a union of families of relatives on the kinship principle; vird is a religious group or community, – note of the "Caucasian Knot").

 The document will also contain "information about the persons responsible for this young guy or girl," says the statement of the Chechen Parliament.

The statement notes that on February 17, an MP Adam Malikov, acting on behalf of the head of Chechnya, "held a meeting with pupils of the Alkhan-Kala secondary school, where he announced the start of certification."

The decision to issue the above passports "was supported by the clergy, and has already entered into force," said one of the Chechen MPs.

Update:

Kadyrov refutes rumors about "spiritual-moral certification" in Chechnya

The republic's authorities have no plans to conduct the "spiritual-moral certification" of young people in Chechnya, said Ramzan Kadyrov, thus refuting the information spread earlier by official Chechen mass media.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 18, the website of the Chechen Parliament posted a statement that by the decision of the head of Chechnya every young person in the republic aged 14-35 would pass the "spiritual-moral certification", which will fix his/her religion and tribal belonging.

Kadyrov said that earlier he had held a meeting, where it was decided that "local authorities, the clergy and civil society organizations would help law enforcement bodies."

However, the Chechen leader has refuted the information about any "spiritual-moral certification" and issuance of special passports to youngsters.


"Some media report that some new 'passport' will be issued in Chechnya to young people. I remind you that our country has only one passport – the passport of a Russian citizen! Everything else is just fudge!" said Kadyrov.

Chechen Authorities declare Chechen fighters in Syria to be volunteers.

Chechen Authorities declare Chechen fighters in Syria to be volunteers. (Caucasian Knot).

In the rear of the "Islamic State" (IS), not the Chechen spetsnaz (special troops) are operating, but just "self-organized groups of young people," who "risk their lives and suffer losses," representatives of the republic's leadership have admitted. 

Chechen volunteers are in a difficult situation in Syria, according to contradictory statements by Ramzan Kadyrov, and the data of the "Caucasian Knot".

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that Kadyrov said that Chechen spetsnaz is operating in Syria in the rear of the IS militants.

According to Vladimir Komoedov, Chairman of the Defence Committee of the Russian State Duma, the Parliament "knows nothing about the participation of Chechen spetsnaz in warfare in Syria," the Radio "Echo Moskvy" has quoted.

No Russian army servicemen or MIA (Ministry of Internal Affairs) policemen are among the group of natives of Chechnya, who operate in the rear of the IS, said a source in the republic's leadership, adding that Chechen volunteers "present themselves as IS supporters."

Not a single law enforcer from the Chechen Republic is in Syria and Iraq, said Alvi Karimov, the press secretary of the head of Chechnya.

After Kadyrov's words, the territory controlled by the IS will see a total check of all Chechen natives, suggested a retired officer of the Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (known as SVR).

Meanwhile, the "Novaya Gazeta" writes, citing its own sources, that about 20 former servicemen of the battalion "Sever" (North), sacked last October, could have been sent to Syria.

On December 2, 2015, the IS posted a video depicting an execution of a man, who was presented as a native of Grozny, (See picture on top of post)  who had collaborated with Russian secret services; the video also contained threats to authorities and people of the Russian Federation.

Razman Kadyrov reports on undercover work of Chechen special forces in Syria.

In the territory of Syria, in the rear of the militants of the "Islamic State" (IS), fighters of the Chechen special forces are operating, said the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, adding that the Chechen fighters had been trained at the centre of special forces near the village of Tsentoroi.

"It's time to report on those, who ensure the success of Russian aircrafts on the ground at the cost of their own lives," said the story about the Chechen special forces, screened on February 7 in the programme "News of the Week" on TV Channel "Russia-1". This story was a preview of the documentary by Alexander Rogatkin, which will be released in the programme "Special Correspondent" on February 10.

Kadyrov's voice off-screen says that they managed to create an extensive network of agents right in the IS, the portal "Medusa" reports.

"Best fighters of the republic were sent there. They gather information about the structure and the number of terrorists, define the targets for bombing and fix the outcomes thereof," said the head of Chechnya.

He said that at the beginning of the war in Syria intelligence agents from Chechnya were sent, under the cover, to training camps where fighters, who profess Wahhabism, were trained.

The Kremlin refused to comment on the story, referring to the information, earlier disseminated by the Russian Ministry of Defence.

Ramzan Kadyrov's statement that Chechen spetsnaz (special troops) is at war in Syria should be treated with scepticism, said Reserve Colonel Victor Murakhovskiy and Andrei Koshkin, a military political analyst. If Kadyrov is telling the truth, then he has actually "exposed" his spetsnaz to the fighters of the "Islamic State" (IS), said Alexei Malashenko, a member of the Scientific Council of the Moscow Carnegie Centre.

As noted by Victor Murakhovskiy, who is also the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Fatherland's Arsenal", Kadyrov "doesn't command any spetsnaz units of the Russia's Armed Forces."

Alexei Malashenko treated Kadyrov's statement as a political promotion (PR) action, noting that he is "sceptical about any real action of the Chechen spetsnaz possible on the territory controlled by the IS." Nevertheless, the expert has noted that "many Chechens went to fight in Syria on the side of the IS."

Andrei Koshkin, a member of the Association of Military Political Analysts, who also heads the Division of Political Science and Sociology of the G. V. Plekhanov Russian Economic University, has admitted that "even if Kadyrov's words are true, then this is only a private initiative."

In 2014, power agents and residents of Chechnya reported sending Chechen spetsnaz to the border with Ukraine. In May 2014, Kadyrov confirmed the presence of natives of Chechnya in the conflict zone in Ukraine; however, he treated an organized sending of Chechen spetsnaz there as an "absolute lie".
