Once again Vladimir Putin has shown his utter disregard to human rights and democracy. Last week, the Russian President appointed Ramzan Kadyrov as president of Chechnya. According to many human rights organisations, both in Russia and abroad, Kadyrov and his cronies are responsible for massive and gross violations of human rights, including extra-judicial killings, kidnappings and torture, corruption and extortion of humanitarian aid and compensation in Chechnya.
