Ramzan Kadyrov

My dream is that all Chechen women should wear headscarves.

If people in Russia do not take the path of traditional, pure Sufi Islam, Russia will lose out. All the other denominations, like Wahhabism, are new inventions for our country - we have never had it, and we will never accept it.

Who did I fight? I fought terrorists. Who did I protect? I protected the whole of Russia so that people in Moscow or St. Petersburg... could live in peace.

To die in battle would be my greatest joy.

We have a very strong politician of global stature, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. There is no one like him on the world stage.

Being independent caused us nothing but trouble. I do not want Chechnya to be independent from Russia.

Family honour is the most important thing.

Polygamy is needed to prevent a man from taking up a lover, which can cause health issues and rifts in the family and would lead him to live a lie, constantly deceiving his wife and children.

He's my idol. Putin is a beauty.

I say that a university is a house of knowledge, not for showing off Dolce & Gabbana bags. Students should go to university in uniform.

We used tough methods to show what's wrong and what's right. Against those who didn't understand, we led a tough and even cruel struggle.

I want to show the world that we have the best fighters. Our motto is, 'Death is better than second place.'
