Alaudinov reported the dismissal of the case against a participant in the conflict in the Luhansk basin.

Apti Alaudinov announced the dismissal of the case against Chechen fighter Alikhan Bersayev, who was detained after a conflict in a Luhansk swimming pool with blogger Maksim Divnich. According to the head of the Akhmat special forces, Divnich faces grave consequences, and criminal proceedings are being considered.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," the head of the Akhmat special forces, Apti Alaudinov, demanded an apology from blogger and MMA fighter Max Divnich for denigrating the Akhmat special forces and Alaudinov himself by including a fighter of Chechen origin who started the conflict in Luhansk in the Akhmat special forces. Divnich stated that Bersayev accused him of ethnic insults and that "some witnesses" were found who "saw everything." "They're doing a lot of work. That is, a person sitting in a pretrial detention center finds witnesses, not one, not two, not three. Someone is working to get this guy off the hook," Divnich stated. In his opinion, extensive resources were deployed to "make him look guilty."

Divnich posted a video about the conflict in the Luhansk basin on his Telegram channel. He claimed he clashed with Chechen serviceman Alikhan Bersayev because he behaved inappropriately toward women. The blogger also claimed that Bersayev identified himself as a member of the Akhmat special forces. In one of the published videos, which the "Caucasian Knot" is not posting due to the abundance of profanity, a participant in the conflict shouts: "You'll still find out what 'Akhmat' is." Later, Maxim Divnich reported that Alikhan Bersayev accused him of ethnic insults. Divnich called the accusations false, noting that witnesses had suddenly emerged to confirm them.

Akti Alaudinov, commander of the "Akhmat" special forces, announced today on his Telegram channel that the criminal prosecution of Alikhan Bersayev had been dropped, commenting on the murder of a Tajik schoolboy in Odintsovo. "There is no nationality for a criminal; every criminal has a last name, first name, and patronymic," he said in response to reports he received that "a Russian nationalist killed a Muslim boy."

The nationalistic nature of the murder of a 10-year-old Tajik boy in a school near Moscow demonstrated the failure of national policy in Russia. The "Russian Community" condemned the incident, but users of Dagestani and Chechen Telegram channels pointed out that the contribution of such public groups is that for years they have been inculcating Islamophobia as the norm. Three days after the murder of the schoolboy in Odintsovo, Chechen Security Council Secretary Adam Kadyrov expressed condolences to his family. The incident was the result of years of hate propaganda against people from Central Asia and the Caucasus, he stated.

At the same time, Alaudinov recalled the conflict in the Luhansk basin in July of this year. According to Alaudinov, Divnich "He sowed great discord among the masses, posing as a defender of Russian women, and 'stormed' the Luhansk swimming pool." "Ultimately, the 18 people who were there all said that no one had harassed the women, and that the instigator of the fight was the 'stormtrooper' of the pool." "Realizing his situation was bad, he ran, signed the contract, and hid somewhere," Alaudinov said in the video.

According to him, Divnich faces "very serious consequences." "The criminal case that was opened against the Chechen who allegedly attacked this 'poor defender' of Russian women has been dismissed," Alaudinov said. He added that the materials against Divnich have been submitted for consideration regarding the initiation of a criminal case. Alaudinov did not name the article under which Divnich faces prosecution.

Divnich's channel, which has more than 196,000 subscribers, has been switched to private mode.
