Generálplukovník ruské armády. Hrdina Ruské federace. Čestný člen ruské akademie přírodních věd. Držitel černého pásku kjókušin karate, ale i majitel diplomu za zásluhy o stomatologii. To vše je Ramzan Kadyrov, dlouhodobý spojenec Vladimira Putina. Severokavkazskému Čečensku vládne tvrdou rukou už 20 let a vytvořil z něj v rámci Ruské federace stát ve státě. Na jak dlouho? To rozebírá nový díl podcastu Na Východ!

Ramzan Kadyrov gets more air defence, uses it to shoot down a civilian Azerbaijani plane. Russia now has a law that will put a fee on all volunteer donations to the army and they've been using the cars, confiscated from the troops to plug up their lack of armored vehicles on the front.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/theeasternborder.

Actually, I should've just called this episode War in Syria. But, as usual, it all ties together as we're seeing a second front open up...and then collapse violently.

durée : 00:58:41 - Cultures Monde - par : Julie Gacon, Mélanie Chalandon - Entre Moscou et Grozny, le pacte est simple : contre l'autonomie et une manne financière importante, Ramzan Kadyrov assure à Poutine la stabilité de la Tchétchénie. Mais le dictateur tchétchène teste régulièrement les limites de son autonomie, faisant de cette relation un contrat à double tranchant. - réalisation : Vivian Lecuivre - invités : Aude Merlin Professeur de sciences politiques à l'Université libre de Bruxelles.; Alexandre Tcherkassov Ex-président du conseil des droits humains de l'ONG Memorial, lauréate du prix Nobel de la paix en 2022.

Med brutala metoder ser Tjetjeniens diktator Ramzan Kadyrov till att hålla den ryska delrepubliken Tjetjenien lugn åt Vladimir Putin. Men ledarnas relation sätts i gungning när en affärsuppgörelse i Moskva slutar i ett stormat kontor och att två personer skjuts ihjäl. Kadyrov verkar öppet gå emot Putin för första gången. Nu pratar han om att utkräva blodshämnd. Vad är det som sker i den ryska eliten? Programledare: Emma Lukins. Med DN:s Europakorrespondent Ingmar Nevéus. Producent: Sabina Marmullakaj.

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.

//The Wire//2030Z August 23, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: RUSSIAN PRISON OVERRUN BY ISIS MILITANTS. CANADIAN RAILROAD LABOR STRIKE HALTED BY CANADIAN GOVERNMENT.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Russia: Overnight, Islamist State (ISIS) militants conducted an assault at the IK-19 penal colony in Volgograd. ISIS militants occupied the facility for a few hours, executing at least three guards. AC: The militants made several varying demands, such as military equipment, money, and a helicopter, however Russian authorities were not willing to negotiate and retook the facility by force. All ISIS militants were either neutralized or arrested.This attack comes a few days after Putin's surprise visit to Chechnya, his first visit to the region in over a decade. This visit served to diplomatically cement the Chechen Republic's role in Russia's future, along with strengthening ties with Ramzan Kadyrov, the current head of the mostly Islamic republic.Norway: Newly-released reporting reveals an act of sabotage that occurred at a critical military installation earlier this year. Local Norwegian media reports that a communications cable at Evenes Air Station was deliberately cut back in April. The investigation of this incident is currently ongoing.-HomeFront-Colorado: This morning two trains collided near Boulder, destroying a rail bridge and causing a minor fuel leak.Canada: Yesterday afternoon the Canadian government intervened to halt the railroad lockout, less than a day after it started. However, even as rail operations are resuming normally, logistical delays are still expected for some cargo.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Critical cargo or any freight cars carrying HAZMAT were halted about a week before the labor strike, so as to not result in this important cargo being stuck on random sidings throughout Canada. As such, even a labor strike of one day has caused backlogs that might take several weeks to return to normal.Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT//

Tommy and Ben discuss the lack of foreign policy discussion in speeches at the DNC in Chicago, protests over Gaza happening outside of the convention, and reports that Trump could be influencing Netanyahu's decision to hold off on agreeing to a ceasefire deal.

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.

durée : 00:03:48 - La chronique de Thomas VDB - par : Thomas VDB - Parmi les endroits où Thomas VDB ne veut pas aller, il y a par exemple, la Tchétchénie. Pourquoi ? Parce que son Président Ramzan Kadyrov a décidé d'interdire les musiques entre 80 et 116 BPM, trop langoureux ou trop techno. Et question : est-ce que le Eddy Van Halen de l'orgue de barbarie existe ?

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.

“We have all these new media forms. But we haven't really found one that does what the old school news magazine still do well, which is sit across from someone and look them in the eye and turn TV into a lie detector.“ --HBO Real Sports' Correspondent David Scott Multiple duPont Award-winning journalist David Scott invited Prizes' Executive Director Abi Wright and duPont Director Lisa R. Cohen to his HBO Real Sports office back in 2018, following their win for a special investigative hour on the Olympics. We're revisiting this interview to commemorate the end of an era. For 29 seasons Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel has looked at sports from the complex lens of power, culture, and human rights. This month marks its last episode. In the 2018 episode Scott goes behind the scenes of some of his celebrated reporting - in “The Lords of the Rings,” and his duPont winning coverage of controversies around China's Olympic games, and in a harrowing trip to Chechnya to interview its repressive leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Scott offers practical tips on how to take on powerful subjects, how to safeguard your footage in dangerous locations and how to evade government “minders” seeking to keep reporters away from the real story. Watch “The Strongman” David Scott's report on Chechnyan MMA fighters and leader Ramzan Kadyrov. Watch the last episode of HBO Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel on December 19.

Hey readers, I love writing. I expect keep writing until the day I die. But I also know when it is time to challenge myself with different mediums in my quest to tell stories. Podcasts aren't exactly new but they are new to me. I've been on plenty of podcasts over the years but I have never tried speaking into a microphone—alone—for an extended period of time and then publish it into the ether known as the internet. Nevertheless, I tried my hand at podcasting this week and the result is the episode above—a 45-minute session where I walk you through my genesis into the world of sports and politics. I talk about my time in Egypt among a group of revolutionaries, my journeys to Russia and the cast of characters I encountered during those years, and how reporting on Ramzan Kadyrov shaped my career. Some episode notes:* I discuss my time among the Ultras Ahlawy, the Egyptian football fans who became revolutionaries during the Arab Spring. To learn more about them, I suggest reading this longform I wrote about them earlier this year * I also discuss my time in Russia, including some of the absurd incidents I found myself in the middle of, like the time I was cornered into watching an MMA event with the president of Ingushetia—a man who is now Russia's deputy minister of defence involved in the war in Ukraine. Read more about that here:* Finally, I also mentioned the article I wrote for The New York Times earlier this year about Lionel Messi's involvement with Saudi Arabia's Tourism authority. You can read that article here.Happy listening and, as always, your feedback is very much appreciated. KarimSports Politika is a newsletter about the intersection of sports, power and politics.

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

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!

C dans l'air du 20 septembre - Percée ukrainienne et folles rumeurs à Moscou... C'est une grande première. Le président ukrainien Volodymyr Zelensky doit s'adresser devant le Conseil de sécurité de l'ONU, ce mercredi 20 septembre, au lendemain de son premier discours en présentiel devant l'assemblée générale des Nations Unies. Il y fera face à la Russie, membre permanent de l'instance, pour la première fois depuis le début de la guerre. Pays qu'il a accusé hier à la tribune de l'ONU de commettre un génocide en déportant des "dizaines de milliers" d'enfants ukrainiens. Le président ukrainien a également dénoncé dans l'enceinte de l'ONU le fait que la Russie se serve de l'alimentation et de l'énergie nucléaire "comme d'une arme" ce qui impacte l'Ukraine comme "le reste du monde" et a appelé les dirigeants de la planète à l'aider à préparer "un sommet de la paix". "Beaucoup de sièges ici seront bientôt vides si la Russie continue sa guerre de propagation", a par ailleurs mis en garde Volodymyr Zelensky, alors qu'une quarantaine de pays parmi les 193 membres ont préféré jusqu'à présent rester neutres dans le conflit. Il a en outre conseillé les pays du Sud réceptifs aux sirènes économiques de la Russie à ne pas faire confiance à Moscou. "On ne peut pas se fier au mal". "Je sais que des accords louches sont en train d'être négociés. Demandez à Prigojine si Poutine respecte ses promesses" a-t-il lancé. A l'offensive sur le front diplomatique pour tenter de rallier les pays non-alignés, Volodymyr Zelensky entend également à travers ce déplacement aux Etats-Unis obtenir de Washington le soutien à une guerre longue alors que le Congrès américain doit se prononcer sur de nouvelles aides militaires et que cette question fait l'objet d'intenses débats outre-Atlantique sur fond de campagne présidentielle. Pour la deuxième fois depuis le début de la guerre, le président ukrainien retrouvera Joe Biden, ce jeudi à la Maison Blanche, pour discuter de son soutien à Kiev. Une rencontre qui interviendra à un "moment critique, moment où la Russie cherche désespérément de l'aide auprès de pays comme la Corée du Nord pour mener sa guerre brutale en Ukraine" a expliqué le conseiller à la sécurité nationale, Jake Sullivan. Et ce alors que sur le terrain, les autorités ukrainiennes ont affirmé, lundi, avoir perforé la ligne de défense russe, près de Bakhmout, dans l'est du pays. Depuis le lancement de sa contre-offensive en juin dernier, l'armée ukrainienne grignote peu à peu du terrain dans l'est du pays, mais cette percée confirmée par les services secrets britanniques pourrait-elle marquer un véritable tournant dans le conflit ? Que se passe-t-il sur le front ukrainien ? Quels sont les enjeux du déplacement de Volodymyr Zelensky aux Etats-Unis ? Pourquoi la santé de Ramzan Kadyrov, le dictateur de Tchétchénie, fait-elle l'objet d'autant de rumeurs ? La Tchétchénie est-elle une poudrière ? Enfin qui sont ces Russes qui se battent aux côtés de l'Ukraine ?

Since the early aftermath of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, many major Western companies have been in various stages of divesting from Russia. Nearly a year and a half into the war, we've entered a new phase of business relations, as the Kremlin has started nationalizing foreign companies' Russian assets. The latest watershed moment occurred on April 25, when Putin issued an executive order allowing the Russian authorities to place the Russian assets of companies from “unfriendly nations” under the state's “temporary administration.” As a result, Russia seized the assets of Uniper Russia, including Uniper's 84% stake in the power generation company Unipro, which was valued at $5.5 billion before the invasion. More recently, earlier this week, President Putin placed the Russian subsidiaries of French yogurt maker Danone and Danish brewer Carlsberg under the Russian state's “temporary management,” effectively seizing these businesses. The Federal Property Management Agency has already entrusted Danone Russia's CEO position to Ramzan Kadyrov's nephew. For some guidance through this tumultuous period of international sanctions and elite business politics in Russia, Meduza spoke to Alexandra Prokopenko, a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Russia Eurasia Center, who worked at Russia's Central Bank and at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow from 2017 until early 2022.

C dans l'air du 24 juin : Wagner à l'assaut de Moscou LES EXPERTS : - Général Dominique TRINQUAND - Ancien chef de la mission militaire française auprès de l'ONU - Pascal BONIFACE - Directeur de l'Institut de Relations Internationales et Stratégiques - Antoine VITKINE - Journaliste - Réalisateur du documentaire « La vengeance de Poutine » - Annie DAUBENTON - Journaliste - essayiste auteure de « Ukraine, les métamorphoses de l'indépendance » Coup de force historique en Russie. Le chef du groupe Wagner, Evgueni Prigojine, 62 ans, est entré ouvertement en rébellion contre le commandement russe. Ses mercenaires, qui étaient déployés en Ukraine dans le cadre de la guerre contre les troupes de Kiev, ont investi le territoire russe dans la nuit du vendredi 23 au samedi 24 juin. Evgueni Prigojine a dit vouloir écarter le ministre de la Défense, Sergueï Choïgou, et le chef d'état-major Valéri Guérassimov après les avoir accusés d'avoir fait bombarder ses troupes. Ce matin, les Wagner contrôlaient déjà la ville de Rostov-sur-le-Don, où le chef milicien a installé ses quartiers. La situation semble confuse dans la région de Voronej, proche de la frontière ukrainienne et à quelque 600 km au sud de Moscou. Selon la BBC, la milice Wagner contrôlerait les bases militaires de la ville, à mi-chemin entre Rostov et la capitale russe. Citant des sources russes, la chaîne d'information britannique précise que les combattants de Evgueni Prigojine ont pris le contrôle de toutes les installations militaires de Voronej sans violence et sans un coup de feu. La Russie n'a pas encore commenté publiquement cette information, mais le gouverneur de la région de Voronej, Alexandre Goussev, a indiqué sur Telegram que les forces armées russes menaient actuellement des « mesures opérationnelles et de combat dans le cadre de l'opération antiterroriste ». Selon le renseignement britannique, les miliciens de Wagner feraient route vers le Nord, probablement en direction de Moscou. Une information corroborée par Reuters, citant une source de sécurité russe. L'autoroute M-4, qui relie ces trois villes, est fermée à la circulation sur plus de 300 kilomètres. Le gouverneur de la région de Lipetsk, située à 400 km au sud de Moscou, assure que des combattants de Wagner sont entrés dans la région, peu après avoir appelé la population à rester chez elle, confirmant ainsi la progression de Wagner. Dans une allocution Vladimir Poutine a dénoncé «un coup de poignard dans le dos de la Russie», accusé son ex-fidèle de trahison. Le président russe Vladimir Poutine a juré de punir les "traîtres" du groupe paramilitaire Wagner, après les menaces de son chef de renverser le commandement militaire de Moscou. Le sanglant dirigeant tchétchène Ramzan Kadyrov, soutien du régime russe, a annoncé envoyer ses hommes dans les « zones de tension » russes, ce samedi. Sur le plan international, le président russe Vladimir Poutine a reçu samedi le "plein soutien" de son homologue turc Recep Tayyip Erdogan. Les États-Unis disent, eux, être en "étroite coordination" avec leurs alliés sur la situation en Russie. La diplomatie russe a mis en garde l'Occident contre toute tentative de "profiter" de la situation. Poutine et Prigojine, les anciens alliés, sont désormais ennemis. Les relations entre les deux hommes sont anciennes. Evguéni Prigojine sort de prison en 1990, alors que l'URSS est en train de s'effondrer et profite de l'arrivée du capitalisme pour lancer une entreprise de vente de hot-dogs, avec succès. Il monte ensuite en gamme, jusqu'à ouvrir un restaurant de luxe qui devient l'un des plus courus de Saint-Pétersbourg, la ville où Vladimir Poutine connaît en parallèle sa propre ascension politique. Après l'accession fin 1999 de Vladimir Poutine à la présidence, le groupe de restauration de Prigojine officie au Kremlin. Cela lui vaut le surnom de « cuisinier de Poutine » et la réputation d'être devenu milliardaire grâce aux contrats publics, que ce soit dans la restauration des écoles russes ou de l'armée de Moscou. C'est cet argent qu'il aurait utilisé pour fonder Wagner, une armée privée d'abord composée de vétérans endurcis de l'armée et des services spéciaux russes. Avec ce groupe, il sert non seulement les intérêts du Kremlin, mais aussi les siens. Avec le déclenchement de la guerre en Ukraine et les nombreux revers subis par l'armée régulière russe, l'ancien allié discret sort de l'ombre et devient incontournable. Son groupe Wagner recrute désormais dans les prisons russes pour envoyer des hommes en première ligne contre les troupes de Kiev, notamment à Bakhmout. Longtemps au service de Vladimir Poutine, qu'il surnommait même « papa », Evguéni Prigojine renie désormais ses liens avec le pouvoir en place. « Poutine a fait le mauvais choix. Le pire pour lui. Bientôt, nous aurons un nouveau président », a estimé le patron de Wagner ce samedi. Le chien finit donc aujourd'hui par mordre la main de son maître. Concernant l'Ukraine, les déclarations d'Evgueni Prigojine viennent contredire celles du Kremlin qui affirme que la contre-offensive lancée début juin par Kiev est pour l'instant est un échec. Pour le patron de Wagner cette opération est au contraire un succès. Il affirme que l'armée russe recule dans plusieurs secteurs du front et qu'elle subit de lourdes pertes. « L'armée (russe) se retire dans les zones de Zaporijjia et de Kherson, les forces armées ukrainiennes poussent », a en effet déclaré Evgueni Prigojine dans un entretien vidéo publié sur Telegram par son service de presse. « La même chose se passe à Bakhmout, l'ennemi pénétrera de plus en plus profondément dans notre défense », a ajouté l'homme d'affaires, en référence à la ville de l'est capturée par les Russes où les Ukrainiens disent avoir progressé sur les flancs ces dernières semaines. « Il n'y a aucun contrôle, il n'y a pas de succès militaires » de Moscou, a encore cinglé Evgueni Prigojine. « Celui qui choisit le chemin du diable se détruit lui-même », a réagi aujourd'hui Volodymyr Zelensky. La mutinerie armée du groupe Wagner illustre, selon lui, la faiblesse de la Russie, plongée dans « le mal et le chaos ». La rébellion en Russie est une « opportunité » pour l'Ukraine, se réjouit de son côté la vice-ministre de la défense ukrainienne. Elle a estimé aujourd'hui que la Russie a lancé un processus conduisant à sa propre destruction en envahissant l'Ukraine. Elle assurant que son pays continue à faire le nécessaire pour la « victoire ».

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.

On this episode, Lera and Taylor speak with returning guest Leonid Ragozin who candidly updates us on the war in Ukraine and helps us make sense of the fog of this conflict and the continual stream of headline-making actions from the Kremlin. They discuss Putin's mobilization orders, the West's response to Russians fleeing the draft, an unseen struggle for power within the Russian military, the "annexed" Donbas region, and the role that the coming Winter may play in the war for Europeans dependent on Russian oil and gas.

This week, Alan, Quinta, and Scott sat down with Lawfare deputy foreign policy editor and RatSec rookie Dana Stuster, to talk through the week's big national security news, including:“Chechens Coming Home to Roost.” Ukraine's surprise counteroffensive in Kharkiv has proven to be a massive success, leading Russian troops to surrender seized territory as they beat a retreat. At the same time, supporters of Russia's invasion of Ukraine—including Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov—are becoming more openly critical of how the Russian government is managing the campaign. What will these setbacks mean for the future of the conflict—and the Putin regime itself? “Did You Know You Can Eat Them With the Skins On?” Last week, Cloudflare announced that, due to “an unprecedented emergency and immediate threat to human life,” it would cease providing security services to Kiwi Farms, an internet forum infamous for coordinating harassment and doxxing campaigns. Should essential service providers like Cloudflare be put in the position of policing online content in this way? What's the alternative?“Spoilers for Season 5 of ‘The Crown.'” For almost a century, Queen Elizabeth II was a stable presence in global politics, even as her country—and the global order it helped shape—transitioned from an era of empire and colonialism through an international Cold War and into the modern era. What might her death mean for the monarchy and the world moving forward?For object lessons, Alan (and his dentist) thanked Quinta for supporting his saltwater taffy habit. Quinta shared a Civil War-era meme. Scott endorsed the once-and-forever named Tappan Zee Bridge and surrounding Palisades as a lovely way to transit through NYC. And Dana shared a book very appropriate for this moment of reflection on British history, David Ziblatt's classic "Conservative Parties and the Birth of Democracy." Hosted on Acast.

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.
