Moscow, July 12, Interfax - First deputy chairman of the Russian Presidential Administration Vladislav Surkov believes it is not by chance that Vladimir Putin became Russian President in hard times for Russia and Ahmad Kadyrov was the first President of Chechnya.
"It seems to me that if God decides that a nation should live for some more centuries then in a hard hour He sends someone who leads people out of the dead-end, war, devastation, trouble. It seems to me Ahmad-Haji was the man sent by God to the Chechen people in order to lead them out of trouble this nation faced," Surkov said in his interview with theDialogiprogram on the Chechen TV on the eve of 60th birthday of the first Chechen President.
"He wasn't chosen by an HR department. There was no questionnaires and interviews, there was no announcements in papers that a president for the Chechen Republic is being searched for," Surkov went on to say.
He has the same opinion on Putin's election in 2000.
"To tell the truth I believe that Putin was given to Russia by God and destiny in a hard hour for our one big nation. It seems that these people (Putin and Kadyrov) had to find each other as both of them were destined to save our nations, big Russian nation and the part of this nation - Chechen people. I believe that's the way it was," Surkov said.
He again stressed that he rather refers it to the "questions of destiny than any personal characteristics."
