In a video posted by Kadyrov to the Telegram messenger service, he called himself “the longest-living among all the heads of Russian subjects.”
“We, the Caucasians, the Chechens have a proverb: ‘No matter how honored and long-awaited the guest is, if he leaves on time, it’s even more pleasant,’” Kadyrov said.
“Therefore, I think my time has also come, before I am kicked out.”

“I noticed that I’ve been sitting in my position for a long time,” Kadyrov said.
“I believe that I fully deserve an indefinite and long vacation. I hope you will support me and understand.”
