Strange greetings from Russia

Today we had a strange greeting of Rabbi Zinoviy Kogan, chairman of the Russian Congress of Jewish Congregations and Organisation.

He lauded the situation in Chechnya, especially it's president Ramzan Kadyrov. I couldn't believe it. One of the most martial persons is mentioned on this Assembly as a good guy, although there are such a lot of valid accusations of human rights abuses made by Kadyrovs personal guard, the Kadyrovcy. Sorry, it was really awful to sit there.

I don't understand, why this person was invited. Still more, I was told that he always says the same stuff on Chechnya. Why they didn't invite a Romanian rabbi, as there was a Romanian mufti representing the Islam? A lot of things on this Assembly remain mysterious.
