Scandal in Russian troops: Kadyrov's troops "discovered" that fascists are fighting for Russia
Another conflict between Chechen special forces "Akhmat" and militants of the far-right group "Rusich" has started in the Russian army.
Apti Alaudinov, a close associate of Kadyrov, clashed with far-right members of the Rusich sabotage and assault reconnaissance group. The conflict between Alaudinov and the Rusich DSMG immediately attracted the attention of Russian propagandists.
The conflict started with a proposal by State Duma deputy Dmitry Kuznetsov to set up a children's camp under the auspices of the Chechen Akhmat unit.
This proposal was criticised by Yevgeny Topaz, a fighter from the far-right group Rusich. He asked what the reaction of Chechens would be if their children were sent to a nationalist club in St Petersburg for patriotic education.
Alaudinov, commander of the Akhmat detachment, reacted to these words on 4 February. In particular, he called the far-right fighters of "Rusich" "room warriors" and "sofa heroes". According to him, they are "neither Russians nor nationalists, but fascists".
Room warriors, couch heroes, you create a unit like the Akhmat special forces, in which not your fascism would flourish, I will not call it nationalism. You are fascists! - alaudinov declared.
The conflict between the two immediately attracted the attention of Russian propagandists.
