Kadyrov Declared Blood Feud on State Duma Deputies and a Senator from the Federation Council
At a meeting with the Chechen security bloc, the head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov, reported attempts to order his murder and declared blood feud against a number of well-known figures and businessmen because of the shooting at the Wildberries office. According to him, the State Duma deputies from Ingushetia (Bekhan Barakhoev) and Dagestan (Rizvan Kurbanov), as well as the Federation Council senator from Dagestan, Suleiman Kerimov, wanted to order his murder.
 
“They have their own businesses, and they didn’t just take the business from this woman, they even ordered me to be killed. I officially declare blood feud against Bekkhan Barakhoev, Suleiman Kerimov and Rizvan Kurbanov, unless they prove to me that they are not involved in this. I am a Caucasian, I am a Chechen, I am bringing my own home,” the head of Chechnya declared.
 
Kadyrov has commented for the first time on the shootout at the Wildberries office, which left two people dead. According to him, after this incident, a campaign of harassment against Kadyrov's men began. He warned against attempts to give the conflict around the marketplace a national coloring, saying that if anyone "has complaints against Kadyrov's men," they should make them personally to him. The head of Chechnya also said that there are witnesses to the order for him and even the amount for the execution is known.
 
Recall that on September 18, a shootout took place at the head office of the Wildberries online store in central Moscow, which left two people dead and seven injured, including police officers.
 
The company said that co-owner of the marketplace Vladislav Bakalchuk tried to get into the building accompanied by armed guards. He himself claimed that he came for negotiations, and his people were unarmed.
 
A criminal case was opened on the facts of the incident under five serious articles, within the framework of which about 30 people were arrested. Later it became known that they expressed a desire to go to the "SVO".
 
Let us also recall that earlier the head of Chechnya expressed criticism of the Russian authorities, condemning the policy of toughening the attitude towards migrants. Kadyrov admitted that someone is deliberately pitting Russia against the "brotherly regions".
 
"If the migration policy is to be changed, then not in such a disgusting way, when they frantically attack all non-locals - whoever comes to hand," Kadyrov noted.
