Russian Citizen Depardieu Visits Chechnya

French movie star Gerard Depardieu, who was recently granted Russian citizenship, arrived in Chechnya’s capital Grozny late on Sunday, the Vesti.Ru TV channel reported. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov greeted Depardieu as he came off the plane. “We are glad that our country’s authorities have granted you Russian citizenship. It was a well-thought and wise decision,” the Chechen leader said. “Thank God the time has come when world-famous people choose to live in this country.”
