Ramzan Kadyrov declared a blood feud against Dagestan Senator Suleiman Kerimov and State Duma deputies Bekkhan Barakhoev and Rizvan Kurbanov, according to the translation of the speech of the head of Chechnya, and accused them of attempting to assassinate him. The dispute

over Wildberries continues. Kadyrov is participating in the conflict over Wildberries on the side of Vladislav Bakalchuk. A shootout that took place in Moscow near the office of the marketplace at the end of September resulted in the death of two people from Ingushetia.
2/9 Vladislav Bakalchuk and Ramzan Kadyrov
The republic believed that they were killed by Kadyrov's men, and at least six people from Chechnya were arrested in the case of the shootout. Billionaire Suleiman Kerimov is believed to be acting on behalf of Tatyana Kim (until September, she bore the surname Bakalchuk).

However, several experts on the North Caucasus immediately commented that this was done in violation of adat - the customs of Muslim peoples. In their opinion, Kadyrov did not have a good enough reason for this, and even if he had, it should have been done with the

involvement of elders and not with the help of a Telegram channel. However, today in Odintsovo near Moscow, an attempt was made on the life of the former deputy chairman of the Ingush government, Sherip Alikhadzhiev. An unknown person shot him four times and fled.

Alikhadzhiev was hospitalized. He is in intensive care. He used to work with Kadyrov. There are more and more signs that the conflict between Chechnya and Ingushetia is starting to heat up. While Russia is waging war in Ukraine, its own clan struggle is brewing inside Russia.

The shootout in Wildberries is a business claim in the style of Russia in the 90s. A conflict in the Russian army between Kadyrovites and soldiers of the Russian army. In Russia, relations between Muscovites and small nations are already tense. Especially with Muslims. All
7/9 Image
the ingredients for a new war in the Caucasus are already there. So far, these are a couple of shootouts in Moscow, but behind them lies a struggle for power. Putin is losing it. Kadyrov has begun to test his strength. It is difficult to say how strong this is and how quickly
8/9 Image
it will flare up. But in Russia, where the monopoly on the use of force, the constitution and internal law enforcement agencies are busy at war and only the right of the strongest works, there will come a time when all the spiders in this jar will begin to fight for the flies

The new talks between Trump, Putin, and Zelensky are likely to end in yet another deadlock. This time, Putin has softened his illegal demands and is now “ready to give up” the Zaporizhzhia region in exchange for a ceasefire and control over the rest of Donetsk region. These
1/16 Image
“concessions” have probably signaled to Trump that Putin is ready for negotiations, and that maybe, finally, he can strike a peace deal and get his long-coveted Nobel Prize - since it didn’t work out with Israel, where Hamas opened fire again. The White House rhetoric has
2/16 Image
once again shifted sharply, from “Tomahawks are already on their way to Kyiv” to “Donbas should be Russian.” It’s the same old Kremlin ploy - when things go badly, start pushing for negotiations. All this commotion began after Putin’s call with Trump and has now turned into

In Russia, a new wave of hatred toward Chechens is flaring up - and this time, the reason seems surprisingly harmless: a Central Bank vote to choose the image for a new 500-ruble banknote. Yet another attempt by the authorities to distract from economic and social problems

has unexpectedly exposed deep-seated interethnic tensions that have been smoldering in the country for decades. Two options emerged as frontrunners in the online voting: Mount Elbrus and the Grozny City business center - a symbol of the modern Chechen capital. In the region

The Russian Ministry of Defense has drafted a bill to involve Russian citizens in the Armed Forces reserve in performing tasks during peacetime, RBC reports, citing a copy of the document. The government approved the initiative on October 13, according to a source familiar

with the matter. The bill proposes that reservists can be called up for special training sessions by presidential decree. These “special sessions” are described as military gatherings aimed at fulfilling specific defense-related tasks in cases of armed conflict,

counterterrorist operations, or the deployment of forces abroad. According to Andrei Kartapolov, head of the State Duma Defense Committee, the bill expands the ability to use reservists in various circumstances. He noted that it introduces broad legal definitions that would

Russian Uralvagonzavod - the country’s main manufacturer of railway cars and also tanks (since Soviet times, Russia has had a tradition of dual-purpose factories, where the producer of metal buckets might also make artillery shells) - is switching its civilian workforce

to a four-day workweek. The change will affect only employees in the railcar production division. They were offered to transfer to “other divisions with active orders,” since the situation is quite different in tank production. Uralvagonzavod, part of the Rostec corporation,

is Russia’s largest tank manufacturer. After the start of the war, the plant switched to a three-shift schedule, and since August 2022 has been operating around the clock. Russia’s economy is increasingly shifting to a war footing, while its civilian sector is rapidly

Another sign of growing problems in the Russian economy. Next year, Russia will cut spending on the production and repair of aircraft by one and a half times — from 139.6 billion to 85.7 billion rubles. This was reported by The Moscow Times. “The Russian government plans
1/9 Image
to reduce funding for the federal project ‘Production of Aircraft and Helicopters’ by 1.6 times in 2026 - from 139.6 billion to 85.7 billion rubles,” the report says. According to the draft of Russia’s new budget for 2026–2028, spending will also decrease in 2027 compared to

previously planned figures - from 109.7 billion to 86.9 billion rubles (a 21% drop). Funding is expected to slightly increase only in 2028 - to 89.3 billion rubles. The publication notes that the most significant cuts will affect state support for Russian airlines renewing

Europe still does not fully understand the threat posed by Russia. There has been growing talk of a possible attack on the Baltic states, but in reality, this threat is minimal - and the real danger lies elsewhere. Putin has found a grey zone, and so far it brings far

a country's banking or energy system - cyberwarfare is a reality, not a fantasy from Hollywood films. Putin’s goal is to sow discord within Western societies, and hybrid war offers a wide range of tools to achieve that. His main target remains Ukraine, and he is doing
