Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] Blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov and his brother said that the Chechen authorities had passed a blood feud warning to their relatives in Starye Atagi. The armed men appeared in the village after the dispute between Tumso and the speaker of the Chechen parliament in a voice chat.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote in May, the Swedish Foreign Minister requested information from Russia about the involvement of the Chechen authorities in the attempt on the life of blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, which took place in February 2020. A court in Sweden has already recognized Ruslan Mamaev and Elmira Shapiaeva as participants in the attack; they were sentenced to ten and eight years in prison, respectively.

"The only reliable motive [of the crime], according to the court (and this is what the prosecutor's office insisted on), is Abdurakhmanov's criticism of the Chechen authorities and the "bblood feud" that Magomed Daudov announced to Abdurakhmanov through social networks," Prosecutor Per Lindqvist told the Caucasian Knot.

Speaker of the Chechen parliament Magomed Daudov, announcing a blood feud against Tumso Abdurakhmanov, made a reservation that it was not a murder, as stated in the "Caucasian Knot" certificate "The main thing about Tumso: why the impudent Chechen scoffs at the blood feud of 'Lord.'

The Abdurakhmanov brothers accused the Chechen authorities of violating the traditions of blood revenge

Tumso's brother, Mokhmad Abdurakhmanov, said that a high-ranking Chechen official "sent dozens of people to the village of Starye Atagi - this is my mother's ancestral village where her brothers live - and threatened them: 'If you do not stop your man within two days, then we we will return, we will declare a blood feud on you and we will deal with you.'"

Mokhmad Abdurakhmanov stressed that these threats are contrary to the rules of blood feud.

"In Chechen traditions, there has never been such a practice that the mother's side was brought to responsibility for the actions of a person. This fundamentally does not correspond to our traditions and our culture. But with the emergence of the "path of Akhmat Kadyrov" - Note of the "Caucasian Knot") we have witnessed a similar practice," explained Abdurakhmanov in the video

"Judas threatens our maternal relatives", published on the YouTube channel AbdurakhmanOFF on September 26.

Earlier in September, the Arsnukayev family announced a blood feud against several families in Chechnya. The head of the Assembly of the Peoples of the Caucasus, Ruslan Kutaev is sure that the authorities of the republic are behind this, which, according to him, do not understand the basic principle of blood feud - it is announced solely in response to a murder.

A similar situation arose in December 2020. Then two Chechen Teips, at the suggestion of the authorities of the republic, declared blood feud to the relatives of two young men from Ingushetia, who were killed in the attack on police officers in Grozny. As Ruslan Kutaev pointed out, this was also a violation of the traditions of blood revenge: the attackers were killed, which means that their victims are already considered avenged.

In this video, Mokhmad Abdurakhmanov also addresses personally the speaker of the Chechen parliament, Magomed Daudov.

"You are building yourself as a formidable lion, a defender of the honor of a Chechen woman, you urge us to return to our homeland and fight you like a man,” Abdurakhmanov says, noting the discrepancy between this challenge and the pressure on maternal relatives.

The tradition of blood feud was formed during the tribal system, but it still remains relevant in the North Caucasus. According to this custom, the relatives of the murdered must take revenge not only on the murderer, but also on his relatives, it is stated in the certificate of the "Caucasian Knot" " Blood revenge - how they are now being killed in the Caucasus ."

By the mid-2000s, about 15% of all murders and assassination attempts in Chechnya were related to blood feud, according to an animation clip prepared by the Caucasian Knot. Several stories about blood feud, told by participants and eyewitnesses of the events, are given in the article "Payment for Blood" prepared by the "Caucasian Knot."

Tumso Abdurakhmanov said that about 30 armed people appeared in Starye Atagi.

"This is how, for the first time in Chechen society, maternal relatives began to be responsible for a person belonging to a foreign family," the blogger wrote on September 26 on his Telegram channel Abu Saddam Shishani.

Threats to the Abdurakhmanovs' relatives were preceded by a dispute with Daudov

Blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov linked threats to his relatives in Starye Atagi with the recent controversy between him and Magomed Daudov.

"I think the repressions against my relatives were a logical continuation of our conversation with Daudov in the voice chat. He openly announced that he would make my relatives responsible for my words. But announcing an ultimatum to maternal relatives is something new, even for Kadyrov’s Chechnya. Obviously, in this way they are trying to put pressure on me," quoted Tumso Abdurakhmanov.

Tumso Abdurakhmanov on September 25 published an audio recording of a conversation in a voice chat on his Telegram channel. He explained that Magomed Daudov "suddenly connected" to the chat and entered into a polemic with the blogger. On the record, the interlocutor of Abdurakhmanov, using profanity, demands to stop talking about some women.

"If we are at war, then against each other. If we say something bad, then about each other. Our ancestors never touched women. What you do is unmanly and ugly," Daudov says in a conversation translated by Caucasian node.

What kind of women they are and what exactly Abdurakhmanov said about them, Daudov does not explain. The blogger doesn't accept accusations.

"What affects women? This is what you (Kadyrov - Caucasian Knot note) do. You affect all mothers and women. Day and night you affect them. On the contrary, we tell you not to discuss them," Tumso retorts.

In the course of the dispute, Daudov resorted to threats, including against Abdurakhmanov's relatives.

"We were silent when you talked about politics. As they say, the dogs bark - the caravan is coming. But if you talk about women, you will be disgraced. These women are Chechens and your relatives too. Therefore, I do not want to show the things that they I don’t want to talk about it for all to see. Discuss politics, collect your donations, but don’t touch women! you want the same," says Daudov.

On July 4, 2020, in a suburb of Vienna, a native of Chechnya Mamikhan Umarov, a harsh critic of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, was shot dead. In his videos, the blogger openly criticizes and insults Ramzan Kadyrov and his parents using profanity. A similar style of criticism of Kadyrov was used by the blogger Imran Aliyev, who was killed in France, known as blogger Mansur Stary.

His body with stab wounds was found on February 1, 2020 at a hotel in the French city of Lille, according to the report " The Murders of Kadyrov's Critics in the European Union" published on the Caucasian Knot .
