2024-10-13 | None of us know what forms Putin's nightmares take, but I'd hazard a guess that open conflict between his mafia lieutenants would feature in them. Adding the ethnic colour of a ‘blood feud' is just an additional theatrical flourish. This is what happened this week, as Kadyrov threatened a ‘blood feud', as he claimed a group of Russian lawmakers were planning his assassination. ---------- SILICON CURTAIN FILM FUNDRAISER - A project to make a documentary film in Ukraine, to raise awareness of Ukraine's struggle and in supporting a team running aid convoys to Ukraine's frontline towns. https://buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain/extras ---------- In a video posted on his Telegram account on Oct. 9 Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov accused three Russian lawmakers of plotting to kill him. He warned a "blood feud" would ensue if they could not prove their innocence. "If they don't provide proof to the contrary, I officially declare a blood feud against Barakhoyev, Suleiman Kerimov, and Rizvan Kurbanov. We have witnesses, and we know the people they asked about the price of an order [for my assassination]." Kadyrov claimed to other officials from the North Caucasian republic. Kadyrov named three lawmakers, Bekhan Barakhoyev, Suleiman Kerimov, and Rizvan Kurbanov, from neighbouring Dagestan and Ingushetia, as potentially being the figures behind the plot. Before we delve into the current accusation, we must review some recent history. There was a violent incident in September at the Moscow headquarters of Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, in which two people were killed and several others were arrested. A full Silicon Wafers episode on this will be published next week. In that incident a fight broke out when Vladislav Bakalchuk, the estranged husband of the company's founder Tatiana Kim (formerly Bakalchuk), tried to "illegally" enter the building with his security guards. ---------- Sources and recommended reading: https://kyivindependent.com/kadyrov-claims-group-of-russian-lawmakers-are-plotting-his-assassination/ https://meduza.io/en/feature/2024/10/10/in-first-public-comments-on-wildberries-shooting-kadyrov-declares-blood-feud-against-federal-lawmakers-who-he-claims-ordered-his-murder https://www.politico.eu/article/chechnya-warlord-ramzan-kadyrov-blood-feud-russia-mps-dagestan-ingushetia-assassination-plot/ https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/10/10/kadyrov-declares-blood-feud-against-russian-lawmakers-in-first-remarks-on-wildberries-shootout-a86636 https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/10/09/chechnyas-kadyrov-speaks-out-against-russias-medieval-migration-laws-a86625 https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/40363 ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- TRUSTED CHARITIES ON THE GROUND: Save Ukraine https://www.saveukraineua.org/ Superhumans - Hospital for war traumas https://superhumans.com/en/ UNBROKEN - Treatment.

Wildberries founder and CEO Tatyana Kim (who recently restored her maiden name) has been having a hell of a time shaking loose her husband, Vladislav Bakalchuk, but their very public divorce is just the tip of the iceberg in what's become a battle between some of the most powerful political groups in Russia's North Caucasus. On September 18: Vladislav Bakalchuk tried to storm the company's office in the Romanov Dvor business center — just a few hundred yards from the Kremlin itself. Bakalchuk has very publicly opposed the Wildberries-RussGroup merger and recently met with Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to plead his case, winning the dictator's support. At the Moscow office, Bakalchuk's entourage had two former senior executives, but — more importantly — he was accompanied by former and current Chechen police officers and National Guardsmen, as well as trained martial artists from Chechnya, including former world and European taekwondo champion Umar Chichaev. According to Novaya Gazeta Europe, Chichaev fired his service weapon, though his status in the National Guard is a bit fuzzy. On the other side of the conflict, defending the Wildberries office was another team of police and police-adjacent men with ties to Ingushetia. According to the newspaper Novaya Gazeta, Wildberries had recently hired a private security company with ties to Ingush State Duma deputy Bekkhan Barakhoev, who, until three years ago, worked as a vice president of a subsidiary of Russ Outdoor — the smaller company now merging with Wildberries. The most important shadow figure at Russ Outdoor, meanwhile, is Suleiman Kerimov, a billionaire senator from Dagestan. The office shootout left two Ingush men dead and more than two dozen suspects in police custody, though Vladislav Bakalchuk miraculously escaped charges as a mere witness. He claims he merely showed up for a planned business meeting, but Tatyana Kim calls the incident a failed attempt at a hostile takeover. To learn more about this story and its broader political context, The Naked Pravda spoke to Ilya Shumanov, the general director of Transparency International-Russia in exile.

This month, several senior officials in Russia's republic of Chechnya have been reshuffled or replaced. Meanwhile, strongman ruler Ramzan Kadyrov's children have been appointed to a number of government posts. Overshadowing all this are reports that Kadyrov, 47, is gravely ill, fueling rumors about his ability to rule and the future of the republic, which fought two separatist wars against Moscow in the 1990s and 2000s.Harold Chambers, an analyst focusing on nationalism, conflict and security in the North Caucasus, joins us to explain what it all means.Find us at:https://www.themoscowtimes.com/https://www.facebook.com/MoscowTimes/https://twitter.com/moscowtimeshttps://t.me/moscowtimes_enhttps://www.instagram.com/themoscowtimes/

According to a new investigation from Novaya Gazeta Europe, Chechnya Governor Ramzan Kadyrov was diagnosed with pancreatic necrosis in 2019 and isn't long for this world. Since then, he's supposedly undergone “regular procedures,” including surgeries, at an elite hospital in Moscow. A bout of COVID-19 in 2020 reportedly further degraded his health, kicking off another round of sudden weight loss. His kidneys reportedly started to fail and fluid built up in his lungs, making it difficult for him to speak and walk. After Novaya released the first part of this investigation, Kadyrov's Telegram channel shared its first video in five days, posting footage of Kadyrov meeting with his cabinet to discuss the war in Ukraine. Kadyrov's speech is slurred and he barely moves. He doesn't look good. He looks like the title character in Weekend at Bernie's.  Novaya Gazeta has released two more installments in this story since that first report, and a fourth article is due out soon. On this week's episode of The Naked Pravda, Meduza spoke to journalist Kirill Martynov, the editor-in-chief of Novaya Gazeta Europe, to dig into these revelations and learn more about the predicament of Russia's second-worst autocrat.

Chechnya's Culture Ministry said earlier this month that the Russian republic would issue restrictions on music slower than 80 bpm and faster than 116 bpm. At the time, the ministry stated that the Chechen Head Ramzan Kadyrov had instructed them to introduce the restrictions, however, last week, Kadyrov said that the restrictions were meant to be ‘recommendations' for performers and composers of folk music in Chechnya. This week, OC Media's Luiza Mchedlishvili talks about Chechnya's repression of musicians and culture, and musicologist Ben Wheeler breaks down the apparent contradictions of the new restrictions.

Johnson School of Public Affairs and a leading expert on Chechnya, the North Caucasus insurgency, and the Russo-Chechen Wars. In addition to over twenty years of research in the region, Dr. Dennis spent over five years living with Chechen rebels and refugees in the Pankisi Gorge along the Chechen border with the Republic of Georgia, and displaced Chechen communities in Azerbaijan, Belgium, Poland, and Turkey, exploring the conditions under which displaced populations attitudinally support political violence. His post-doctoral research focused on Chechen attitudes towards foreign fighters in Ukraine and Syria. During the Second Russo-Chechen War (1999 to 2009), he served as a volunteer aid-worker the International Rescue Committee (IRC) tasked with leading a team to help re-build water, sanitation, and education infrastructure in war-torn Chechnya and provide subsistence support to tens of thousands of Chechen refugees living in the neighboring republic of Ingushetia. From 2004 to 2011, he co-directed the Chechnya Advocacy Network, an international humanitarian non-government organization created to improve human rights and security in Chechnya, provide legal and asylum procedure assistance for Chechen refugees, conduct research on issues related to the Russo-Chechen Wars, and raise awareness and funds to improve infrastructure, physical and psychological rehabilitation, and education in the Republic of Chechnya. Dr. Dennis's research has been published in Security Studies and referenced in Foreign Affairs, and he recently completed an academic book manuscript based on his decades-long work with Chechen refugees. He holds a Ph.D. in Government from The University of Texas at Austin, an M.A. in Political Science from Miami University (Ohio), and studied at Novgorod State University in Russia, and the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom.

The Kadyrov regime, installed by Moscow in Grozny after the fall of Ichkeria, a short-lived independent Chechen state that existed after the collapse of the Soviet Union, has led to a severe deterioration of human rights in Chechnya, as reports of police brutality, disappearances, torture, and the persecution of people formerly associated with Ichkeria became all too common. Tens of thousands have since fled Chechnya and settled in Europe, with more attempting to seek asylum after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. However, some of the new arrivals have found a less than warm reception as the Chechen diaspora grapples with Islamaphobia and stereotypes in their host countries. This week, Chamil Albakov, a representative of a group that claims to uphold the legacy of Ichkeria, with a government in exile, in France and Marat Ilyasov, a visiting scholar at George Washington University, talk about the challenges and stereotypes the Chechens of Europe face, and Europe's denial of asylum to Chechens fleeing Kadyrov's Chechnya and mobilisation in Russia.

The final show in our Chechen trilogy focuses on the republic's current gangster-in-chief, Ramzan Kadyrov, and his rise to become one of the world's most fearsome—but also bumbling—despots. Kadyrov has cozied up to Vladimir Putin, dispatched hired killers to quell dissent, empowered Chechen mafiosi and even launched his own film studio to create a North Korea-style cult of personality in the Caucasian state. And of course, there's football, boxing with Mike Tyson and Kadyrov's successful forays into MMA. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

"War was always central to Putin's project," writes Alex J. Bellamy in Warmonger: Vladimir Putin's Imperial Wars (Agenda, 2023). Not just the second Chechen war that made him but the NATO-probing wars in Georgia and eastern Ukraine that emboldened him, and the Western-style war from air in Syria designed to mark Russia's return to Great Power status. But, the project has not gone well. According to Professor Bellamy, the military and strategic disaster of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine had long been foretold. In Syria, unable to control his client, Putin has been outwitted and outgunned by his Turkish imperial rival, which has also shifted the balance of power against Moscow in the long-running Azerbaijan/Armenia conflict. Even apparent success in Chechnya was bought by outsourcing to the Kadyrov clan, who run the republic independently at enormous cost to the Kremlin. "War has finally caught up with the warmonger," writes Bellamy. "Should Russia's imperial dreaming survive its battering in Ukraine, and it is by no means certain that it will, it will be a Potemkin empire existing only in the minds of those who parrot its tropes". Alex J. Bellamy is Professor of Peace and Conflict Studies at The University of Queensland. Since Kosovo and International Society in 2002, he has written 15 books as sole author including World Peace (And How We Can Achieve It) in 2019 and Syria Betrayed: Atrocities, War, and the Failure of International Diplomacy in 2022. *The author's own book recommendations are The Last Empire: The Final Days of the Soviet Union by Serhii Plokhy (Oneworld Publications, 2014) and Dominion: The Making of the Western Mind by Tom Holland (Little Brown, 2019).

In Syria, unable to control his client, Putin has been outwitted and outgunned by his Turkish imperial rival, which has also shifted the balance of power against Moscow in the long-running Azerbaijan/Armenia conflict. Even apparent success in Chechnya was bought by outsourcing to the Kadyrov clan, who run the republic independently at enormous cost to the Kremlin. "War has finally caught up with the warmonger," writes Bellamy.

Is Kadyrov dying? If so, who might replace him - and what may this mean for Russia. If Chechnya again becomes unstable, will Putin be faced with a choice of losing in Ukraine or in Chechnya?In any case, Kadyrov was one of the first and most successful of Russia's 'conflict entrepreneurs,' able to monetise the threat or actuality of war. The invasion of Ukraine is creating  a whole slew of new conflict entrepreneurs, who will represent not just a constituency with an interest in continued conflict, but also may be being nurtured as the state looks to find a new support base.The BBC report I mention is here, and the podcast on the Rosgvardiya and its business empire is episode 11, here.

Er schuift deze week een bijzondere gast aan onze bij onze podcast-tafel: Eva Hartog. Eva werkt al jaren als correspondent in Rusland, maar moest enkele weken terug ineens het land verlaten omdat haar visum niet verlengd werd. Met haar duiken we in een drietal verhalen met één gemeenschappelijke deler: de macht van Rusland in het buitenland lijkt af te brokkelen. Deze week leek namelijk in de betwiste regio Nagorno Karabach in Azerbeidzjan de strijd in eens weer op te laaien. In het gebied wonen overwegend etnische Armenen, die lange tijd konden rekenen op steun van Rusland. Maar daar lijkt geen sprake meer van te zijn. Daarnaast gaan er allemaal geruchten over Ramzan Kadyrov, de Tsjetsjeense leider én steun en toeverlaat van Poetin. Leeft hij nou wel nog, of is ie overleden? En Eva komt met een ongelooflijk verhaal over Cubanen die aan Russische zijde meevechten. Kortom, een bómvolle aflevering!

The Soviet Union is toast, Chechnya is at war and Grozny, its embattled capital, is being bombed to dust. Gangs of Chechen criminals are getting rich off the bloodshed, capitalizing on gun- and drug-running networks that flourished under Communism. When the war ends a new breed of Chechen mobster-terrorist emerges, empowered by Arab Jihad and financed by goons who've grown fat on the patronage of oligarchs. After a brutal period of rocket strikes, school sieges and plane hijackings, Chechnya enters a new, stable—but semi-feudal—stage, led by a family of boxers and religious zealots: the Kadyrovs. Learn more about your ad choices.

C'è stata la venticinquesima edizione dell'Annuario Statistico 'Commercio estero e attività internazionali delle imprese' redatto da Ice e Istat. Dai dati, come ha spiegato il Presidente dell'Agenzia Ice Matteo Zoppas emerge che: "Nel 2022 l'export italiano ha saputo intercettare bene la riapertura del commercio internazionale dopo le conseguenze delle misure di restrizione che hanno pesato anche sulla logistica. Il livello di export pre-covid era stato pienamente recuperato nel 2021 (521 miliardi di euro) ma la crescita è proseguita a ritmi molto sostenuti anche nel 2022, raggiungendo obiettivi ragguardevoli: 624 miliardi (+20% rispetto al 2021).

Ma quello che è accaduto alla francese Danone e alla danese Carlsberg le loro attività russe espropriate e trasferite alla gestione di stretti alleati di Vladimir Putin dimostra che i rischi maggiori li corre chi manifesta l'intenzione di andarsene, ma non riesce a trovare rapidamente una via d'uscita.

A spat between Wagner's Prigozhin and Chechnya's Kadyrov provides a good opportunity to look at the role of the Chechens in the Ukraine War - or, rather, just how small a role they are playing. Why is that? Because the war is a microcosm of the Putin system in so many ways, and in that system Kadyrov has managed to create a comfortable place in which he loudly performs loyalty while actually exploiting Moscow as far as he can.The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials right here. Support the show

En Ukraine, Ramzan Kadyrov, le brutal chef de la Tchétchénie, a mis ses deux principales armes au service de Vladimir Poutine : ses soldats suréquipés et son art de la communication. La guerre contre Kiev renforce le pacte noué depuis longtemps entre les deux hommes.

As the Ukrainian military presses on with its successful ground offensive, the Russian military appears to be taking a gamble. Russian troops in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine are advancing and putting themselves at risk of being surrounded by Ukrainian forces. And, this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin promoted Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov to army general. Kadyrov, a long-time ally of Putin, is known for his inflammatory remarks and abysmal human rights record. Also, US President Joe Biden is offering pardons to thousands of people convicted of marijuana possession under federal law. In some ways, the US is unique in its approach to cannabis policy. Plus, Haiti requests international assistance to quell the violence there.

Highlights:      “Officials from both Britain and the US completely disrupted the peace talks between Ukraine and Russia that were being brokered in Turkey several months back, and so, we do have to consider that the source for this ‘death train' as one British outlet called it is highly suspect in terms of their reliability.” “CIA and other analysts studying the Kremlin and the war in Ukraine have ruled out seeing any actual signs of an imminent Russian nuclear attack. There may indeed be a nuclear test, but an actual attack is far from happening” “Ironically, the only ones who actually seem to be openly embracing the notion of a nuclear war are the radical leftist ideologues in the West… When all is said and done, it doesn't look like we have to worry about a nuclear armageddon coming from Putin, as much as we do coming from our own progressives!” Timestamps:        [01:27] On the report of Russian nuclear weapon being transported thru train to Ukraine [03:25] How Russia appears to be deploying their Belgorod nuclear submarine to the region    [05:51] What can we expect from this escalation [07:16] How the globalist elites seem to be openly embracing the notion of a nuclear war Resources:  Learn how to protect your life savings from inflation and an irresponsible government, with Gold and Silver.

Highlights:     “Kadyrov is simply saying out loud what a lot of Russians are saying: Why can't we simply unleash the full force of our military and end this thing once and for all?” “I think Putin's threats against Ukraine, that they were prepared to use all means necessary, were aimed at preparing nations like China and India for an all-out assault, one that I still think would fall short of the use of tactical nuclear weapons  because I don't think they even remotely need to rely on such, the Russian army is powerful  enough, but Russia is planning on unleashing the beast if and when Ukraine attacks a recognized border of the newly annexed regions.” “A new force has been rising, a Eurasian force, that sees itself as representative of the growing backlash against Western international norms, and now we're starting to see that force stare down Western liberal globalist powers!

Between the 1990s and late 2000s, people in Chechnya described Russia's wars there as a nightmare. Its former leader, Akhmad Kadyrov, resisted Russian forces. But today, the Muslim-majority Chechen Republic is ruled by Kadyrov's son, Ramzan. He's a close ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, who is accused of numerous human rights abuses and is also leading his own forces against Ukraine to aid the Kremlin. Rachel Denber, Deputy Director of Human Rights Watch's Europe and Central Asia Division, explains Ramzan Kadyrov's stake in Russia's invasion of Ukraine. NPR National Security Correspondent Greg Myre, who reported from Chechnya during the wars, also breaks down the republic's evolution over the last 25 years. In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.
