On the night of February 26 in Poland, an attempt was made on the life of the Chechen blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov, who mercilessly criticized and exposed the republic's authorities. The attacker introduced himself as a policeman and made his way into the apartment where Abdurakhmanov lives. There he tried to kill the sleeping blogger with a hammer blow to the head. Tumso managed to twist the intruder. The assassination attempt took place in exactly the same scenario as the chairman of the Chechen parliament Magomed Daudov (better known as Lord) promised in a video message to Abdurakhmanov in March 2019. The speaker then said that as long as blood flows in him, he and his brothers will consider the blogger their enemy and will look for him. “From now on, when you go to bed, make sure to lock the door with a key. Make sure it is hooked, ”Daudov warned his opponent.
