Chairman of the People's and Freedom Party Mikhail Kasyanov and deputy chairman Vladimir Kara-Murza regard the publication on Instagram of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyv as direct incitement to murder and intend to contact law enforcement agencies. Kara-Murza stated this on February 1 on the radio station “Echo of Moscow”.

A short video with a view of Kasyanov through a gun sight and the caption “Kasyanov came to Strasbourg to get money for the Russian opposition.” WHO DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, WILL UNDERSTAND!”, accompanied by symbols of bags of dollars, was published on Kadyrov’s Instagram on the night of February 1. At some point, Kara-Murza also appears in the frame. “The last time he wrote the phrase “Whoever DOESN’T UNDERSTAND, WILL UNDERSTAND!” (on the same Instagram) on May 25. The day before my poisoning,” Kara-Murza commented on Kadyrov’s publication on his Twitter.
As he told Ekho Moskvy, the video was filmed by LIfeNews journalists during a PACE session, at which Russian opposition politicians criticized the investigation into the murder of Boris Nemtsov, and “Mr. Kadyrov has already embellished it in his own style” by adding a sniper rifle scope.
“We see that in almost a year that has passed since the shooting of our comrade Boris Nemtsov on the Big Kremlin Bridge, absolute impunity for these figures is growing, who are already absolutely openly, openly and publicly threatening those whom they consider enemies and the “fifth column” “,” said Kara-Murza.
On May 26, Vladimir Kara-Murza fell into a coma due to poisoning caused by unknown reasons. An examination carried out in France later discovered an excessive concentration of heavy metals in his body. According to the politician, this was deliberate poisoning. On May 25, Open Russia, coordinated by Kara-Murza, released an investigative film about Kadyrov, “Family.”
On January 12, Kadyrov called representatives of the non-systemic opposition “traitors” and “enemies of the people” and said that they should be tried for subversive activities. At a rally in support of Kadyrov, which took place in Grozny on January 22, State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov said that critics of Kadyrov and Putin will answer “according to the law and not according to the law.”
