This might have blown my mind more than anything else today. Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov is wearing what appears to be Prada combat boots.

This is the full fascism propaganda film they put out. But given chechens’ rep as fearsome killers, I hope Ukrainians will take heart from fact there’s no way Kadyrov will want to get those £1,250 boots dirty

Lol. The Pravda combat boot. Who wore it better?

Omg. There’s a whole series of these to be done. Who wore it better? The Chechen warlord? Or Kendall Jenner?

I do hope these images will find their way to people holed up in Ukraine. The best thing is that according to Vogue, the Prada boots feared Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov is wearing are ‘every cool girl’s favorite boot’

I am sorry to inform you that the Butcher of Chechenya has a TiKTok account. He has an Instagram account (of course). The content is spellbindingly banal. But the complicity of the tech platforms is sickening. Moral equivalence your way out of this one @nickclegg

I went back to the Butcher of Chechenya’s TikTok account this morning to rip the piss out of his fashion choices some more but this video is new & just posted & apppears to show location of Chechen troops inside #Ukraine. Please get this out to #OSINTUkraine to geolocate fast
