Makka Khamkhoeva complained that she with her husband had to live in rented apartments. According to the woman, she appealed for help to the leader of Chechnya, went to Grozny, but received no help.

According to the story shown by the "Grozny" TV Channel, the woman "also mentioned the Chechen authorities in her sometimes provocative statements." Makka Khamkhoeva met the Vice-Mayor of Grozny, who explained to her that under the current laws, the authorities "were not able to help her."
