Apti Alaudinov accused those who named the price of his wristwatch of working for British intelligence

Deputy head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Russian Armed Forces and commander of the volunteer formation "Akhmat" Apti Alaudinov commented on the information of the telegram channel "VChK-OGPU". It estimated Alaudinov's Badollet Observatoire 1872 Chronograph wristwatch at 165,000-272,000 euros.

""VChK-OGPU", which works for MI-6 [British secret intelligence], and the people who leak information there - I wonder who they work for? Even if I had a watch for 270 thousand euros, why should I be embarrassed by you? "VChK-OGPU" is precisely this rooster, snake ball, and everyone who leaks information there - they are the same roosters. If I have a watch worth 270 million dollars or euros, I will wear it too. Do you have anything to oppose to me in terms of my purity? If I stole something from someone, took something from somewhere, then please, make claims against me. I work for the Motherland, I believe in God," Alaudinov said.
