Russian soldier auctions the knife used to cut off ISIS terrorist’s ear – and is flooded with bids

The Russian soldier who cut off the ear of an ISIS terrorist suspected of carrying out the deadly Moscow massacre and made him eat it is auctioning off the knife he used.

Terrorist suspect Saidakrami Rachabalizoda was seen crying and screaming on the ground as Russian soldiers beat him with the butts of their guns in a clip shared on Telegram, while a later video showed an officer cutting off his right ear and feeding him with it. by force.

The officer, who was previously seen sporting a neo-Nazi patch, has now put the bloody short sword up for auction.

Shared on the neo-Nazi-linked Telegram channel ‘TopaZ Says’, the ‘ear cut’ knife was auctioned with no opening bid.

An image of the short, bloody knife appears to match the one used to cut off Rachabalizoda’s ear, in images too gruesome for MailOnline to share.

The channel’s administrators said they would only send “part of the funds to a charity account for the victims of the terrorist attack,” a reference to the deadly massacre in Moscow that left nearly 140 civilians dead.

Although it is currently unknown whether the knife has been sold yet, the highest apparently sincere bid seen by MailOnline was ten thousand rubles, equivalent to £85.

The knife is understood to have been made and sold by Russian knife maker Kizlyar, measures approximately six and a half inches in length in total and is sold on its website to Europeans for €62 (£53).

The knife was used by an officer with apparent ties to the far right, according to previous Telegram posts made on the same channel.

A photo shared on ‘TopaZ Says’ shows a Russian soldier holding the same knife.

The knife can be seen next to a partially obscured gold and black stain. While the center is obscured by the smiling face of a young man, the stems of the patch are still visible.

The patch appears to indicate a Black Sun variant.

The Black Sun, according to the Anti-Defamation League, has been used by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists as a symbol, after it was used in Nazi Germany by Adolf Hitler’s brownshirts, the SS, and the Nazi Party in general.

It was first used in a castle owned by Heinrich Himmler that served as an SS operations center.

Vladimir Putin said on Monday that radical Islamists carried out the attack, but said Russia still wanted to understand who had ordered it and said there were many questions Ukraine needed to answer. Ukraine denies any involvement.

Asked whether the attack represented an intelligence failure, the Kremlin said Russia’s standoff with the West meant intelligence sharing was not happening as before.

“Unfortunately, our world shows that no city, no country can be completely immune from the threat of terrorism,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

Russian intelligence services worked tirelessly to defend the country, he added.

But whether the men were assigned by the Islamic State, as the militant group and the West claim, or whether there may have been some kind of connection to Ukraine, as Putin has hinted – and Kiev has flatly denied – there were warning signs that no They were attended to.
