The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, specified in his Telegram channel that the annual budget of Chechnya is 375 billion rubles. Earlier, he said live with the chairman of the Chechen parliament, Magomed Daudov, that «Russia spends 300 billion dollars a year» on the maintenance of the republic, and «without the help of the federal budget, Chechnya would not have lasted even three months.»
“My yesterday's live broadcast caused a lot of rumors, including the discussion of the budget of the Chechen Republic.
Let me remind you that I am not fluent in professional and in-depth Russian. And I am not an academician,
as you know very well, so much remains unspecified,” Kadyrov wrote. The head of Chechnya also attached to the message a file with information on the cash execution of the Russian budget in Chechnya for 2021.
“Let's start with the fact that we are talking about 375 billion rubles. Please note that this is the full figure of the entire budget system of the Russian Federation on the territory of the Chechen Republic and we are talking about the federal content of the republic, and not just about the consolidated budget of the region. <…> This figure is absolutely not cosmic. And the same content is available in all regions of Russia,” he specified.
