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.
