Mikhail Fedotov says Kadyrov's video on Instagram is part of his PR campaign

Statements by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, are a part of his public relations campaign, which has "its own laws," and should not be taken literally, Mikhail Fedotov, the head of the Human Rights Council under the President of Russia, said today.

A video with Mikhail Kasyanov uploaded on Instagram should not be perceived as a threat to a murder. However, all participants in the political life of the country should abide by the rules of the discourse in order not to provoke those who "don't understand the language of metaphors,'' Interfax cites Fedotov as saying.
