According to the recent changes to the Constitution of the Chechen Federal Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov and future leaders of Chechnya will be referred to as "Father of the People" (Mekh-Da in the Chechen language). 

"The law specifies the position of the head of the Chechen Republic in the Chechen language: Mekh-Da. The purpose of this change is to establish uniformity in the use of the title of the head of the region in the Chechen language, which is the state language of the Chechen Republic," said Magomed Daudov, the Speaker of the Chechen Parliament.

"But Mekh-Da most accurately defines the significance of the head of Chechnya as a leader responsible for his people," Magomed Daudov noted.

Notably, the bill was drafted on January 12 as an amendment to the section of the Chechen constitution on the status of the head of the republic. The People's Assembly of Chechnya adopted these amendments to the constitution on February 10.

Interestingly, in Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the federal republic, is unofficially called Pachchakh ("sovereign," "padishah"), Kuygalho (leader), and Konakh (knight). The head of Chechnya is a descendant of Sufi sheikhs from the ancient tariqa (order) of Qadiriya.
