Lawyer Alexander Treshchev is asking that Alla Pugacheva's interview with journalist Ekaterina Gordeeva* be reviewed to determine whether it justifies terrorism.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," in an interview with Ekaterina Gordeeva, Alla Pugacheva called General Dzhokhar Dudayev an intelligent and decent man and apologized to his widow for not being able to do anything to keep him alive. "I knew Dzhokhar Dudayev. He was such a decent, decent, intelligent man. A beautiful man," Pugacheva stated. Today, it was announced that lawyer and Afghanistan veteran Alexander Treshchev  has filed  a 1.5 billion ruble lawsuit against the singer in a Moscow court, deeming her comments about Dudayev "an insult to the army." 

Dzhokhar Dudayev was a major general in the Air Force who led the movement for Chechnya's secession from the Soviet Union and served as the supreme commander-in-chief during the First Chechen War. He was killed on April 22, 1996, near the village of Gekhi-Chu.

According to one version, when Dudayev contacted State Duma deputy K.N. Borovoy, his satellite phone signal was intercepted, allowing Russian aircraft to launch a targeted homing missile. Dudayev is survived by three children (a daughter and two sons). His wife, Alla Fedorovna Dudayeva, the daughter of a Soviet officer, is an artist, poet (pen name: Aldest), and publicist.

The author of the books "The Million and First: Dzhokhar Dudayev" (2002) and "The Chechen Wolf: My Life with Dzhokhar Dudayev" (2005), co-author of the collection "Ballad of Jihad" (2003), says the biographical information of the " Caucasian Knot " about Dzhokhar Dudayev.


Lawyer Alexander Treshchev filed a complaint to investigate singer Alla Pugacheva's interview for any justification of terrorism due to her comments about Chechen separatist leader Dzhokhar Dudayev. The lawyer himself reported this, according to TASS.

"I filed a complaint with the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee to review Pugacheva's interview for possible criminal charges under Article 205.2 of the Russian Criminal Code (public calls for terrorist activity). It has been accepted for review. A request has also been filed to block her accounts with the Russian Authors' Society pending a possible investigation," he told the publication.

Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" reported that Alla Pugacheva's comments about Dzhokhar Dudayev prompted a reaction from two Chechen leaders : first, the Minister of National Policy, External Relations, and Information, Akhmed Dudayev, and then personally, the head of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov.
