Kadyrov accused foreign intelligence agencies of killing Chechen blogger

"Anzor from Vienna, Mansur Stariy and all the other bloggers who make money on the idea of the pseudo-patriotism, have become and will become the victims of special services working against Russia, and in particular, against me. They know that the Caucasian borders of Russia are protected by me and my faithful team", - Kadyrov wrote in his Telegram.

According to him, special service liquidate bloggers because they "know our mentality".

"Knowing our mentality, traditions, and also knowing that we'll call them to coram, they themselves generate them and immediately eliminate them. But in return they find the others. And then they also encourage people to visit the protest actions in order to cause the political resonance against Russia. And it’s strange, because the protesters literally a month earlier called the murdered one only as a traitor”, - the Chechen leader said.

Recall that the former police officer Anzor Umanov (Anzor from Vienna) was a critic of Ramzan Kadyrov. Police almost immediately after the murder of a blogger in the Austrian capital detained two crime suspects. Both of them, like the murdered one, are Chechens.

Let us note that Umanov conducted his video blog, where he spoke critically about the current Chechen government. The Vienna Department for the Defense of the Constitution believed that Umanov was at risk and offered him the protection, but he refused from it.
