1/ Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's recent near-drowning in Bodrum is reportedly suspected to have been a suicide attempt. He is said to have slipped away from his bodyguards and entered the sea in a presumed one-way trip, but was saved by beach lifeguards. ⬇️

2/ The VChK-OGPU Telegram channel reports on rumours around the incident which took place on 24 July at the Turkish resort of Bodrum, according to local media. According to the channel, Kadyrov was alone on the beach at the time.

3/ "The guards on the beach helped him, called an ambulance, and Kadyrov was taken to a private hospital. One of the TV channels showed Kadyrov's motorcade with an ambulance leaving the hospital grounds.

4/ "A source ... noted that it was not his numerous guards who saved Kadyrov, but strangers." According to the source, "Nobody thought that he would go anywhere at all, let alone go to the beach. And the guards "blinked."

5/ "He was alone in the water. And, apparently, this is not accidental. According to the prevailing version, Kadyrov was not going to return from the sea, but his plans were interfered with by the beach security."

6/ The source says that recent reports about Kadyrov's alleged "will" support this version of events. It's claimed that Kadyrov has asked for his ally Adam Delimkhanov to rule Chechnya until his own son Adam, currently 17, is old enough to take over.

7/ Kadyrov is widely reported to be seriously ill. According to VChK-OGPU, he "may recently be experiencing serious pain, he requires strong substances, he moves with difficulty, so he almost never appears in public."

8/ He was shown on camera in several videos made on the eve of his departure to Bodrum (see post #1). He clearly looks unwell, he is not shown in close-up and he says little or nothing. /end
