Almost 35 thousand residents of the Sheikh-Mansurovsky district of Grozny spoke in favor of dividing it by allocating a new district and giving it the name “Putinsky” in honor of the President of the Russian Federation. These are the results of a recent survey according to the mayor's office of the capital of Chechnya.
Only 200 people offered “their answers,” officials say. The survey materials were sent to the Chechen parliament to adopt a law on the creation of a new region.
In February, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, said that a new district of the capital would be named after Putin. He referred to a feeling of deep gratitude on the part of the Chechen people. The head of Chechnya also announced the decision to name the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes, where soldiers are trained to participate in the war in Ukraine, after Putin.
