Nop report if he suffered a sudden attraction to prepubescent girls.

MOSCOW — Earlier this month, the leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, informed his more than one million followers on social networks that he had become “the happiest man in this land.” Something had come to pass that he never could have dreamed of, he said. He had had a transfusion, he said, from a descendant of the Prophet Mohammed, so now he has the Prophet’s blood flowing through his veins.

In a not-for-attribution conversation last week, a Russian government official told The Daily Beast that the blood transfusion was seen in Moscow, as “something totally insane and wild,” but that it hardly the worst of the bad news about Kadyrov.

The Russian opposition has taken to accusing the Chechen leader, publicly,  of murder.

At an opposition rally earlier this month, Aleksei Navalny spoke about the assassination of his friend Boris Nemtsov, a leading opposition figure gunned down just outside the Kremlin walls in February, and about Kadyrov.
