Chechnya's president Ramzan Kadyrov at the Kremlin in Moscow on September 30, 2022. He has criticized Russia's military effort in Ukraine, in particular Moscow's commanders.Kadyrov hit back in an interview with Chechen news outlet Grozny Inform published on Monday, insisting he was not a civilian and had been given the rank of colonel general by Putin himself. He also called Boldyrev"a failed commander" who had been"demoted and transferred.
"Whoever criticizes should look at experience," Kadyrov said."I have not yet been kicked out..but he was immediately transferred. Which of us is better, Colonel General Blah Blah Blah or Colonel General Kadyrov." Boldyrev responded by telling the news outlet RBK that he had never been demoted and after commanding the North Caucasus District, which he was appointed to in 2002, he was transferred to"an equivalent position" commanding the Volga-Ural military district, in July 2004.
Boldyrev reiterated his point about not criticizing commanders like Lapin."Only two people can evaluate and even criticize him—the minister and the president.
