Kadyrov said he had asked for his resignation.

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, commented on rumors of his resignation to journalists.

"I've heard the rumors too. They write all sorts of different things. On the contrary, I myself ask to be relieved of my post. The other will have his own initiatives, his own vision. I hope that they will support my request," Chechnya Today quotes Kadyrov.

He also told reporters what he does when he is angry with someone. Russian President Vladimir Putin gave him advice on this issue.

"Vladimir Vladimirovich gave me advice: when you are very angry, you need to go to bed with this thought. The anger will pass and everything will be fine. I do so and everything happens calmly," said the head of Chechnya.
