Kash Patel for FBI Director? A man would have to be totally senile to make an appointment like that.
Georgia is in the streets. They want to join the EU and Russia wants to stop them.
Families from Chechnya awarded ₽200,000 each for unsolved murder
A court in Chechnya has partially upheld a claim by two families over the unsolved murder of their relatives in 2000. Six of the claimants were awarded 200,000 roubles each in compensation for more than 20 years of inaction. The victims were found dead after being detained by Russian troops.
In September 2000, residents of the village of Dzhalka discovered the grave of 27-year-old Adam Vagapov, 32-year-old Magomed Taimaskhanov and Sharpudi Usuev. The bodies were buried in a mined forest belt. Taimaskhanov and Vagapov were in the same pit, on which the body of a dog was placed, the human rights organization Human Rights Watch reported. Usuev's grave was 20 meters away. There were signs of torture on the bodies of all those shot, human rights activists said.
Then the prosecutor's office of the Gudermes district of Chechnya opened a criminal case on murder, the victims in it were recognized as close relatives of the deceased, including five children of Taimaskhanov, reports Kavkaz.Realii. However, already in November 2000, the investigator suspended the investigation - this decision was overturned only in August 2012. Over the past years, the investigation has been repeatedly suspended and resumed.
The Supreme Court of Chechnya found that the ineffective investigation of the murder was due to the inaction of the investigators, a decision upheld by the Third Appellate Court in Sochi. Only one of the relatives, Satsita Taymaskhanova, was denied compensation for moral damages, since she had not reported any harm caused to her in previous years due to the more than twenty-year investigation.
The murder remains unsolved. Up to 150,000 civilians were killed in the two Chechen wars, Chechen State Council leader Taus Dzhabrailov reported in 2005. Many of the cases involved deliberate attacks, kidnappings and torture by Russian troops. Chechen security forces under the control of the republic's leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, are now regularly accused of such crimes.

Kremlin Pushes Governors to Promote "Victory Image" in Ukraine War, — Kommersant
The Kremlin has reportedly directed governors to shape a narrative of "victory" in the war with Ukraine, according to sources cited by Kommersant. This guidance was a key focus at a seminar for vice-governors held at the Senezh Management Workshop in the Moscow Region.
The Presidential Administration aims to portray the war’s outcomes—such as the "denazification" and "demilitarization" of Ukraine and the annexation of four regions—as a victory. However, they anticipate dissatisfaction from both "angry patriots" and "liberals." Instead, the Kremlin plans to rely on the "calm majority" who may view these results positively, urging officials to maintain and grow this support base.
Governors were also instructed to address challenges faced by returning combatants, many of whom might struggle to find comparable salaries in civilian life. Concerns were raised that these individuals could gravitate toward protest movements or criminal activities.
