473 flash mob posts for Kadyrov against 210,000 signatures on his resignation

The number of signatures to the online petition for the resignation of Ramzan Kadyrov increased by more than 5500 in almost two days and has reached 210,000, while the number of posts on the Instagram with the hashtag #YapekhotinetsKadyrova (I'm Kadyrov's infantry soldier) as part of the flash mob in support of Kadyrov increased by 45 over the same period.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on February 9, Umar Daudov, an assistant to the head of Chechnya, launched a flash mob on the Instagram under the hashtag #YapekhotinetsKadyrova. The flash mob was a response to the petition for Ramzan Kadyrov's resignation, which was posted on the Change.org website by Ilya Yashin, a Moscow oppositional politician. Later in February, he intends to submit the petition to the presidential administration.

Let us remind you that in his petition, Ilya Yashin justified the call to dismiss the head of Chechnya, among other things, by threats pronounced by Chechen leadership to the Yangulbaev family.

By 10:19 p.m. Moscow time on February 13, the petition, entitled "Kadyrov – to resign!", gained 210,000 signatures. Thus, in almost two days the number of signatures thereto increased by 8777.

By 8:00 p.m. on February 13, the number of posts on the Instagram with the hashtag #YapekhotinetsKadyrova reached 473, an increase of 45 over the same period.
