Ramzan's racers (weekly review)

By Vadim Borshchev, special to Prague Watchdog

Ramzan Kadyrov’s horses won races at Pyatigorsk last Saturday. Thus read the official communiqué that was issued at the weekend by the press service of the President and Government of the Republic of Chechnya and distributed by all the republic’s media.
