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.

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.
