Mikhail Ignatyev was fired in January from his post of governor of the Republic of Chuvashia, located around 400 miles east of Moscow, following several controversial incidents.He accused them of writing only negative stories and suggested that it was necessary to identify those who criticize the authorities and"wipe them out," echoing an expression famously used by Putin in 2000 when describing what should be done to Chechen terrorists.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is pictured at the Novo-Ogaryovo state residence, outside Moscow on May 27, 2020. A governor is taking a wrongful dismissal case against the president.In another incident, a viral video showed Ignatyev dangling a set of fire engine keys above the head of a firefighter, who had to jump in the air to get them at a public event in Chuvashia's capital, Cheboksary.
His administration later said this was a"friendly joke" and he apologized for his comments about journalists, saying that his statement had been distorted. However, controversy has continued to follow him during his tenure, with a number of local officials insulting citizens.
