Some horrific videos have circulated on social media of Ryndovskiy being tortured
Ukrainian neo-Nazi group lays claim to execution of Ukrainian [Jewish] MMA fighter Maxim Ryndovskiy
Some horrific videos have circulated on social media of Ryndovskiy being tortured. ”
The wrestler is accused of having trained with Russian MMA fighters amidst the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
“An athlete and idol of youth, a Jew, was shot,” they say.
Ryndovskiy, a mixed martial arts fighter, was born in 1993, is a middleweight, weighs almost 84 kilograms and is 1.80 metres tall. He has one win and no defeats on his record. There is no further official communication, and it is not really known whether the fighter is still alive or not.
There is also a rumour circulating that the fighter had trained at a Chechen club. MMA Ahmat, which is very well known, has almost half a million followers on different social media and promotes great fighters from Russia.
@Adam
The link for his Twitter was listed in this thread or another one, not surprised you can’t find it as it is a bit lengthy. Here it is again:
https://twitter.com/fck_fshn/with_replies
I believe the source for this acct was from TSA or some member of the OSInt group. In anycase it was created two years ago with a few links dating back as recently as April 2020, so it was not opened recently and not used for anything til very recently on March 12 when he warned his life was in danger and that
He then posts TSA comments, but only those that seem to support the last sentence in the above statement, namely that he is a loyal Ukrainian.
The lengthy silence on twitter is likely due to his using the Russian alternative to Facebook and Twitter which is very popular in Eastern Europe, called VK.com – just speculation though.
A couple of days ago, he had some associates vouching that he was completely apolitical and asserting his loyalty, which would support the speculation that he is in earnest of being concerned for his safety. I am not finding these statements any longer. This story seems somewhat frustrating to follow, to be honest, though I have to admit I have enjoyed it mostly.
One more point which I did not address previously, I do not believe it seems reasonable that any Jew in the nationalist state of Ukraine would fake this beating under the pretext of his loyalty being questioned, as it could possibly invite the wrath of the local chapter of Ukrainian neo Nazi’s as their nation is being invaded by the Russian army. Can’t rule out that someone is that suicidal, but it doesn’t readily make sense to me that this kid would place such a public target on him and his loved ones, to be honest.
@Peloni. Many thanks for keeping me posted about your research.
You say that Rydkovskiyy’s has an account on Twitter that is open, and that he has retweeted TSA-OSINT messages on it. I have not been able to access any Twitter account that belonged to Rydkovsky. If you have the address of a twitter account of Rydkovskiyy’s that is still open, please share it with me.
I have not checked all of the Russian English-language sites to see if this alleged atrocity has been reported by any of them. So far I have found no mention of it on RT and Sputnik, which are the only English-language Russian government sites that I follow.
I do believe that if the story was true, the Russian press would report it, because it fits so well with Putin’s claims that Russian troops are in Ukraine to purge it of Nazis. A real atrocity perpetrated by real Ukrainian Nazis would be grist for the Kremlin’s propaganda mill, and they would certainly report it and circulate it as widely as possible if they believed it was true. It would go at least some slight distance toward confirming the Kremlin narrative about the Ukraine ‘special operation.”
@Adam
It seems that with the passage of time, there is less information on this story, not more – a clear statement of the corruption currently employed to purge any story that does not fit the desired narrative, regardless of its validity or falseness. Still, what we do know can offer some input on these matters.
My read on Ryndovskiy is that the reports of his torture are credible, that he was in fact beaten, and he is not dead. Fog of War, which I have warned about several times, would certify the simple reality that both of these assumptions could easily be false, but I think it is a fair read of what we do know. The OSInt community is almost unanimously anti-Russian, so for any of them to certify an event such as the Ryndovskiy beating that would clearly oppose the Ukrainian line of support, it would seem meaningful. This presumption becomes even more credible when no other member of the OSInt community decries it as false, or even mentions it at all. I don’t claim to be familiar with the entire OSInt group, but I have perused a good many of those who interact specifically with TSA and none have even attempted to challenge his claims.
Regarding his reported death, there has been clear evidence of activity on Ryndovskiy’s Twitter acct on March 19, two weeks after Erhlich’s report on the matter, which was secondary to the report of Dubovikova, which has been removed by Twitter who would not want any anti-Ukrainian events documented. Additionally, I have read reports from a fan of his that his instagram acct was closed after his beating was reported and I have confirmed that it is closed, but can not, of course, certify when it closed. His Twitch acct has deleted all but a single video as you noted, and there were about a dozen such videos when I first shared the link just 2 days ago. There is also a report of Ryndovskiy’s Telegram acct being active in the past week, but I can not confirm this since I have not found the accurate address for his Telegram acct – Telegram has more fraudulent accounts than Biden receive fraudulent votes. So, based on all of this social media activity, I find it pretty certain that he is not dead. If he were beaten to give up his login’s and murdered, the accts would have been deleted two weeks ago. If you take the fact that the only recent activity on his twitter acct is documenting evidence collected by TSA showing that he was not supporting a traitor, and add to this the fact that he is deleting all videos and photos of himself, it would appear that he is responding to the beating as a serious warning and that he is still in great concern for his safety. I don’t think this is a leap of faith, but fairly argued.
Furthermore, I do not believe his story is Russian propaganda because the Russians are ignoring the story entirely, as far as I can assess, but I was only alerted to Ryndovskiy’s story two weeks after the initial reports. Still, even in a news cycle moving at a hurried pace as we have currently, we should see some mention of this somewhere, if it were created as a propaganda news story. So, not much to share, beyond my own reflections, such as they are.
@Peloni. I have found it extremely difficult to discover any new information about Maxim Ryndovskiyy, his present whereabouts and activities. I have been unable even to discover whether he is alive or dead. Also strange is that many reports about him images of him and past tweets by him that have appeared either in Twitter or Google Search within the past week have mysteriously disappeared. When I last looked yesterday, I could find only one video of him that appeared to be recent,although it was undated. It was from the Twitch social media site. That video showed him at a computer screen, while advertising a war game. The war game ad showed scenes from the game that looked remarkably like the war actually going on now in Ukraine. But Rydovskiyy doesn’t make any statement about the war or anything political. Just a few words advertising the game. He looked to be in good physical condition.
TSA-OSINT published a list of social media accounts that they said belonged to Ryndovsky and contained postings to him. But all of them were in Ukrainian or Russian, I couldn’t tell which. I can’t read or understaand either language. Also, although TSA-OSINT said they were providing links to these social media accounts, but they didn’t actually do this.
The only two postings from Ryndovsky in English that I was able to access on Twitter were both dated in 2020. No postings more recent that that.
A few days ago, TSA-OSINT provided links to many more Twitter posts from Rynovsky. Several hundred, I think. But they all were at least a year old. And they has since removed all but two of them from their page.
I have been unable to find any new information about the alleged kidnapping and torture of Rydnofsky.
Peloni, have you been able to uncover any new information about Ryndovskiyy? Where he is, what he is doing, what has happened to him? Is he alive or dead? Any information either confirming or discrediting the kidnapping story?
As I have noted before, you are a much better intenet searcher than I am.
Thanks for all of your help with this. I am still curious as to whether the kidnapping story is for real or fake.
@Peloni. You certainly did not waste your time researching Mr. Ehrlich. Everything you found out about his background and career is fascinating and relevant.
The fact that he worked at a Russian Institute may indicate he has some pro-Russian bias. And that may explain why there are not many video clips of him on the BBC and other MSM sites at present. A learned and highly informed gentleman, but perhaps with a pro-Russian and in the present context perhaps anti-Ukraine bias.
His views of the Ryndovsky kidnapping allegation are worth taking into account. But they are not proof of the story’s authenticity.
@Adam
Here is one where he is talking about Trump on BBC Newshour, from 2016:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p04772nm
The subtext describes Ehrlich as
I think Mr. Ehrlich really crossed someone. It is as if all but a couple, literaly, full interviews were removed from the video sites, and left only 30s snippets, largely, cut from obviously larger clips, but the larger clips are not to be seen, curiously, with only a couple exceptions.
I had looked earlier today on the BBC and found nothing, but became somewhat persistent and found this one 5min clip(above). Before I found this footage from BBC, I was pretty certain that he must have had no connection to BBC at all. His current reporting is very much against the grain on Ukraine, so perhaps that is the cause for the possible purge of his content or maybe there is really just this one interview.
He has recently been referenced in “The Week” for a video related to Ukraine:
https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/1010965/mariupol-evacuation-fails-as-2nd-ceasefire-agreement-collapses
He is also on Tucker’s show occasionally, but really it is as if someone deleted nearly any video footage of his and left these really short 30s clips like this one:
https://rumble.com/vtfxio-clint-ehrlich-on-the-diplomatic-options-that-biden-hasnt-pursued-regarding-.html
His father is a very successful lawyer, having argued before the Supreme Court. Ehrlich, himself, is responsible, as a law student, for noticing discrepancies in a famous murder trial where an unjustly imprisoned man was convicted of murder. Raymond Lee Jennings was freed due to the efforts of Ehrlich and his father. Perhaps this has something to do with the odd collection of only short clip videos, but I suspect it is something more recent. Or maybe people only like very short clips with him. Sorry, this really did strike me odd and I seem to have spent way too much time digging into it, LOL.
@ PeloniI. had seen the post by Clint Ehrlich on Twitter. Could you find a link to an article or interview on the BBC where Clint Ehrlichs name appears as one of the authors, or where he is interviewed, or interviews someone else, on a BBC video. I would like some verification that he is connected to the BBC in some way, and is viewed by the BBC as a credible source concerning Ukraine. Thanks once again.
@Michael
Yes, the SES is a very large trunk of the deep state that Obama greatly expanded just a month, as I recall, before leaving office. Sundance and others have reported on it in some detail, but haven’t heard much, or anything actually, since before the pivotal year of 2020.
Peloni,
Thank you for the link. Listening to Lara Logan is an absolute red pill. She’s the first one I’ve heard mention specifically the Senior Executive Service (SES), an unelected body, created under the Jimmy Carter Administratrion, which effectively controls the US government:
She’s also given the first coverage of the “Ukraine War”, that I haven’t had to cringe at. Much of it vindicates what Ted has been saying about Zelensky and the Ukrainian Nazis.
@Adam
Sorry, my mistake, two of them actually. The report was made on March 5, and the report was made by a BBC analyst, not on the BBC. His name is Clint Erlich and looking at Erlich more closely, his analyses are shared on various news cites, being on Fox within the recent past. I am not sure where this report on Ryndovsky was reported besides his Twitter acct which is here:
https://twitter.com/ClintEhrlich/status/1500254722816569344
I am not able to do screen shots here but here is the content of his statement:
Ehrlich was reported to be a BBC World News foreign policy analyst by MMANews.com, and I presumed from this more than I should have. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and accept my regret for the error.
@Peloni. I have been unable to find any reference to Ryndovskyy on the BBC web site for March 3 2022 or any other recent date. Could you please post any screenshot that you may have of this article? Did you see it yourself on BBC news?
There is also a site that uses the moniker “BBC” that is the site of a Mehodist (or Baptist?) congregation in New Jersey. Is it possible that there is some confusion about which “BBC” site published this story?
@Adam
The reference of his Twitter acct is from the OSInt community, so I can not vouche beyond their reference to this account belonging to Ryndovskiy. The acct was joined on March 2020, but was left inactive from April 2020 til March 12, 2022. Two days agon he shared the tweets from TSA which I shared already.
Here is his reported Twitter acct (no blue check):
https://twitter.com/fck_fshn/with_replies
The report of the active Telegram account was from a fan of his and they did not share the Telegram address. The report of his social media accounts being closed was likely a reference to his Instagram acct being closed.
His instagram handle was fck_fshn(same as the claimed Twitter), which was closed but I believe he has opened a new one, but I have lost the link for it.
Here is his Twitch handle:
https://www.twitch.tv/fck_fshn/videos
but it has been inactive for nearly a month, just before the earliest.
The truth is that he likely has a VK account, the Russian complement to Facebook, but I don’t know it.
Timeline issues…
I see a problem with the timeline.
3/3 BBC reported his torture on
3/10 Dubovikova reported his death
3/12 Ryndovskiy’s reported twitter tweeted this:
3/19 Ryndovskiy’s reported twitter retweets TSA’s tweets
So his warning came over a week after his beating was first reported by the BBC(not a Russian source). Perhaps he tweeted the 3/12 warning after being released in fear of further reprisals, or perhaps someone is manipulating the entire story after it received little to no coverage.
Hope some of this helps, but honestly, not a lot of strong evidence to share.
Taking a second look your last message I now see that Ryndowskyy has a n active Twitter account, not just a Telegram account. Can you give me his Twitter address so I can see what he has to say about all this, if anything?
Also, can you tell me what you have seen posted on his account, just in case I have trouble accessing it?
Many thanks as always.
@peloni. You say that Ryndowskyy’s Telegram account is still active. Could you give me his address so I can read his tweets or maybe even contact him to find out what is going on?
Information from Edgar confirms my suspicion that this is a hoax.
@Michael
Lara is very much of the opinion that all of this is related. Personally, I agree with her. Ted shared a better clip, though, from Newsmax where she literally won’t let the comentators talk LOL..Here is the clip:
https://rumble.com/vxmcul-kabooooom-they-cant-stop-the-truth.html
@Adam
@Edgar
You may have missed the end of the first set of tweets I reported, but he is not dead.
His Telegram acct states he is active, so I suspect he is, in fact alive, which is why I referenced it as torture and not murder in my comment with the TSA report. I guess I should have highlighted this but it was stated in the tweets. I have read his accts have all been cancelled except Telegram (I think that is correct).
The Ukrainian neo Nazi’s hate Jews. They hate Poles. They hate Russians. They don’t hide any of this, even remotely. Mostly, though, they hate Russians. They make accommodations(read as extortion) with the others, which is probably why Kolimoisky, a Jewish Oligarch who backed Zelensky in his election, was simultaneously the top funder of the neo Nazi Azov since it was formed.
Also, Ryndovskiy was beaten or murdered, but not as part of a pogrom. It was in line with their anti-Russian attacks, he wore a Russian shirt and is claimed to have trained with the Chechans, which should not surprise anyone. The fact he was Jewish, however, would certainly not aid him in his situation, given the identities of his reported assailants. His friends report that he is, actually, completely apolitical, though he opposes the war…and by that I believe they were referencing the 8yr war in Dombas, but that is an assumption on my part.
The OSInt is a very active group, and use open source tools to cross reference and verify or contest photo and video claims. The video which originated on some Telegram acct, I believe, was their source. Like anything else, garbage in, garbage out. I am not familiar with the level of their ability to identify faked video. The OSInt group that TSA works with are all very pro-Ukrainian, very much so actually. This would include TSAm though he called out one of his colleagues, clearly stating that the use of torture needed to be identified and reported regardless of which side was committing the crime, but the inflection was clearly that this finding was an unfavorable or uncomfortable revelation for them.
Maria Dubovikova, a Middle East reporter formerly for Al Arabiya, who has an association with Moscow news club of some sort (possibly a commentator??), reported Ryndoyskiy’s murder on her twitter acct on Mar. 10. Twitter censored her report and it is now gone as well as any details that she might have supplied. She does not have a Telegram acct, not even a fake one (which is itself surprising). Prior to this, Clint Ehrlich reported his beating on March 5.
That is as much as I can find. My input is that I was always surprised that anyone in Ukraine would be so stupid as to report they had killed this kid, even if they had. I do find it significant, however that the OSInt group were not dismissing the torture, and I would not dismiss this beyond the context of the fact he was more likely targeted due to the Russian thing, than just because he was Jewish.
I have just seen a report in a very obscure paper of the TORTURE of Maxim Ryndovsky, a Russian/Ukrainian Martial Arts champion, identified by a tattoo of a Magen David on his knee. It’s said that he was born in Russia but lives in Ukraine.
The report is regarded as “unconfirmed”, and in the pictures (one is normal) the face is mostly covered up, yet his lips seem un-swollen. His upper bare body ( flabby) can be seen but no torture marks nor tattoos, but there is a Magen David on his left knee. I see many tattoos on his left arm, not seen in his normal photo, but they may be bruises. He has been identified by the MD.. The reports were of torture, not execution…..so far.
It seems to me that the picture of him having been tortured, is extremely elongated and possibly Photoshopped. The heads in both photos seem the same size.
Nothing on BoxingScene, nor several others. Nothing on Top MMA site MMAWeekly.com . It all seems to have erupted from a video shown on Youtube.
Lara Logan on Cowboy Logic:
https://youtu.be/Uq_cpm_bn20
Interesting
I agree with Adam’s assessment of the murder of the MMA expert. I key in to BoxingScene 2-3 times daily. They report EVERYTHING to do with boxing, worldwide and anything relevant to do with MMA.
This would be a HUGE story in BoxingScene. There would likely also have been some denunciation from ,say the Olympic or other Athletic Associations around the globe.
There has been no mention of it neither in their articles nor the often “pithy” comments by the readers.
@peloni. I suppose I am beating a dead horse, but I have now developed serious doubts about the authenticity of this alleged crime. One reason for this doubt is that RT and Sputnik, which are semi-official Russian English-language news sites, have not reported this story. Which is odd, because a) they do report extensively on boxing, MMA and other individual combat sports and the athletes who practice these sports, and b) If the story were real, it would make excellent propaganda for the Russian government by providing some support for Putin’s claim that they are in Ukraine to fight Nazism. I have to conclude that the editors of these online newspapers have serious doubts about the authenticity of the story, and have therefore decided not to publish it.
Another reason to doubt its authenticity is that there has been no confirmation of its authenticity by relatives and friends of Mr. Maxim Ryndovskiy, and no tributes to him on social media, although he is a well-known public figure in Ukraine. One would expect that many Ukrainians would express shock and outrage at the crime, and tributes to Mr. Ryndovsky would be pouring in. Also, that many Ukrainians would tweet demands that the Ukrainian authorities arrest and punish these alleged kidnappers, torturers and murderers. But that hasn’t happened, as far as I know.
So far , the only original sources for the story seem to be a few Twitter and Facebook accounts, the Spanish sports news site Marco, and the investigation by TSA-OSINT. But TSA-OSINT is itself a rather obscure organization that claims to provide training in anti-terrorist tactics to military and police personnel, but not civilians. I am not sure how reliable a source they are.
So far, neither the Russian or the Ukrainian government has confirmed the story, as one might expect if it were true.
Peloni. perhaps you can find the confirmation of this terrifying story from relatives, friends and admirers of Mr. Ryndovskyy that I have been unable to locate. You are a much better internet searcher than I am. Until I see some confirmation of the story from reliable sources, we must consider that it is all a hoax, perhaps created by skillful photoshopping.
@Adam
I am glad to help but was very pleased myself that you found the initial clue linking to the OSInt group. It is intimidating what they can discern, and seem to have a level of intelligence that is far above my own, as they seem to almost anticipate eachothers references such that, as you note, they use the pronoun “he” without any indication of which “he” they are referencing. Still, their fellows in the OSInt group seem to catch on without a hitch, so I assumed that it was a personal deficiency in my own language skills that caused me so much trouble when trying to acertain who the heck they were referencing with their various use of “he”. Hence, I am somewhat relieved to hear that I was not alone in understanding that the proper use of pronouns should be re clarified from time to time, or at least between tweets, and definitely between a dozen tweets.
I spent almost two hours following the conversations between the OSInt members. TSA does seem to be quite particular about calling a spade a spade, while others are much more inclined to only call a Russian spade a spade. So again, very good work tracking down TSA’s reference to Ryndovskiy.
Regarding the Nazi issue, it is one of Putin’s stated goals but the Nazi member of the govt that I can cite, resigned last summer, after refusing to investigate a reporter’s death. He was the Interior Minister and was responsible for incorporating several neo Nazi and nationalist groups into the Ukrainian military after they successfully began slaughtering the western Ukrainians following their call for autonomy, after the Maidan Massacre. There are likely other Nazi or Nazi affiliates still in the govt, but I am not so close to Ukrainian politics to state who is or isn’t. There are certainly, however, a good many Nazi’s among their armed forces, or there were before the invasion.
In any case, however, regarding Putin’s motive for invading, I agree, it was not the Nazi’s. They had been present since 2014. Putin invaded because of the threat of NATO’s expansion. The Nazi’s, the Biolabs and the Dombass were, in my opinion, issues that will be dealt with because of the invasion, but the reason he invaded was NATO’s reckless disregard in the face of his calls for an assurance of his state’s security.
@Adam Dalgliesh
In Russia, the Nazi’s didn’t overthrow the government and enter the parliament as legitimate parties the way they did in Ukraine, and, as far as I know, in Russia they don’t march annually with torches to commemorate the birthday of General Vlasov (the former Soviet general who decided to fight for the Germans in WWII) the way they do for Bandera in Ukraine.
Also, have the Russian Neo-Nazis been trained, financed, and armed by Russia’s enemies?
As far as Nazi activities in Russia, has the US ever cracked down on the Nazis at all or in a way at least remotely similar to the way it cracked down on the commies?
@Peloni. Many thanks for your thorough investigation of this atrocity. You are right, as is Ted, and I was wrong. The TSA -OSINT investigation did establish that the torture and possible murder of the Jewish boxer was the work of a right-wing Ukrainian neo-Nazi group called “Tradition and Order.” This group is not identical to the Azov organization, although it is closely linked to it.
The extreme right in Ukraine has not been very active in recent years, at least as far as violent assaults on Jews and other innocent people. The last reports of such attacks were in 2016 , I believe. It is true that members of extreme rightwing groups have been active on the front lines of the Ukrainian forces in eastern Ukraine, including the Donbass region, which includes the town of Mariupol. But there have been no independently confirmed reports that they have committed atrocities there.
Perhaps this latest kidnap-torture and possible murder is sign that they are now reactivating their terrorist apparatus, taking advantage of the chaos created by the war.
TSA-OSINT did report that a senior leader of a pro-Russian Chechen organization did recently visit Chechen troops fighting in Mariupol and Kharkiv with the Russian forces. It confirmed that the Chechen fighters were deeply involved in the Russian offensives in these two cities and nearby villages. And it confirmed that there have been numerous allegations by Ukrainians, both Ukrainian government representatives and others, that the Chechen fighters have committed appalling atrocities in the Donbass and Kharkiv districts (“Oblasts”).
However, TSA-OSINT did not connect these Chechen fighters with the kidnapping and torture of the Jewish boxer. I misunderstood what they wrote about the hechen fighters because they often fail to make it clear what the subject of the tweets are. THe TSA-OSINT people often refer to their subject simply as “he” when they have mentioned several different “he’s in recent posts, making it unclear who they are talking about. A sort of confusing shorthand.
However, it is important to point out that none of these groups are repesented in the Zelensky government. They were unable to take even one parliamentary seat in the last parliamentary election. They won less 3% of the vote, and even that vote was divided between several feuding extreme rightist groups.
Vladimir Putin’s claim that the Zelensky government is Nazi in character, and that the purpose of his invasion of Ukraine is to rid the countries of Nazis, is a lie. Actually neo-Nazi groups have been very active in Russia over the last few years, and Putin has not cracked down on them. Among other things, they recently burned down the synogogue in Archangel. They also have made two attacks on the Choral Synogogue in Moscow, which is the largest and most prestigious in the country. There have also been several recent incidents of Jews being attacked on the street. If Putin was really so opposed to Nazis, he should have cracked down on these groups long ago.
@Felix
I wanted to thank you for sharing the video on the Maidan Massacre that truly displays the criminal element that was experienced at the most fundamental level, namely by the people themselves.

@FelixQuigley
I think Z. has to drag it out at all costs while the fake “negotiations” are going on.
The idea is to embroil the Russians in their Afghanistan 2, etc.
I suspect that Ukraine will fall apart as a result – some to Russia, some to Hungary, some parts of it will become independent, etc.

Sorry, please disregard the previous post. I copied the wrong string.
This is related to the first post you shared, but it does not seem to be related to Ryndovskiy’s torture. The correct link will follow this one.
The link I shared is, however, related to your post beginning with:
“1/15 OSINT: Open Source Intelligence investigation & the use of facial recognition.”
It is dated from March 1 and I believe is unrelatedto this current story.
@Adam
Very good find.
See the link at the bottom for photos. Here are the contents of the text from the 27 tweets regarding TSA’s report on Ryndovskiy’s torturer:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1498694266754899978.html
I’ve been unable to relocate all of the tweets by this gentleman who calls himself Tactical Systems Academy. Maybe Peloni can help me find all of his posts. He is a great internet searcher.
However, TSA says the guy who takes credit for torturing and murdering this boxer Maxim Ryndovsky is actually a Chechen fighting with the Russian forces named Kydyrov. He is not connected with the Ukrainian forces or a Ukrainian neo-Nazi group. Rather, with a pro-Russian Chechen neo-Nazi group.He also has a criminal background.
TSA has a picture of him in front of a tank with the Russian symbol “Z” on it, only used by Russian tanks. TSA also has posted videos of this Chechen fighter Kydyrov murdering civilians inMariupol and Kharkiv with the Chechen brigade of the Russian army.
He allegedly posted phoney videos on Telegram claiming to originate with a Ukrainian neo-Nazi organization. Actually, according to TSA, he and the other murderers of the Jewish boxer are connected with a Chechen Islamist and neo-Nazi organization fighting with the Russian invasion forces.

@peloni
All I managed to figure out is that he was tortured on Saturday for allegedly “being a “fan of the Russian world” and training at the Akhmat club, and also traveling to the Donetsk and Luhansk people’s republics.”.
His fate is unknown.
He is not listed as dead on Wikipedia (as of 03-06-22).
It seems that there was new legislation passed in Ukraine prohibiting any criticism of the Ukrainian government related to the current conflict and prohibiting the expression of any views on the current conflict other than those of the government, and there are political purges going on (at least in Kiev) by the Ukrainian security services.
Every report that I have read states, as this one does, that “Ukrainian neo-Nazi group” claimed responsibility for this horrific crime. I have seen on Twitter that Azov is being named as the neo-Nazi group in question, but only by random accounts who are not citing any source. Does anyone know who took responsibility for this. It is rather a significant question and not a point of nuance.
