Instagram has blocked the accounts of Kadyrov and his sons: Russians advised them to maintain pages on "Odnoklassniki" and mocked them for whining

The American social network Instagram has blocked the accounts of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov and his four sons, Akhmat, Adam, Eli, and Hamzat Kadyrov. Additionally, three channels of the Chechen television and radio company Grozny have become inaccessible on YouTube.

Chechen Minister for National Policy and Foreign Relations Akhmed Dudayev announced this on his Telegram channel. He was outraged that the Americans had restricted the freedom of speech of the war criminal and his heirs, who promoted the idea of the genocide of Ukrainians to the masses.

Ironically, the Russians did not share Dudayev's dissatisfaction. They reminded him that Instagram has been included in the register of banned sites by Roskomnadzor since March 14, 2022, and advised Kadyrov to maintain a page on Odnoklassniki.

"The United States and the collective West have long been the epitome of double standards. Where is this notorious freedom of speech that American 'democrats' are endlessly shouting about? Where is the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information, which is one of the most important political and personal human rights included in the Universal Declaration of Rights?" the Chechen minister said.

He said that he would appeal the social network's decision so that Kadyrov's sons and himself could post photos and communicate with their followers.

Despite Putinists' expectations, the angry post did not evoke sympathy among readers who have been using only social media allowed in the country for almost two years, as Facebook and Instagram were only accessible to Russian citizens with a VPN.

"Why are you on the social networks of the collective West? Keep your pages on VK and Odnoklassniki," "But wait, these sites are banned in Russia, what's the problem?" "You are stupid. I wish you love in your heart, not anger," they wrote in the comments.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA reported that the accounts of Ukrainian users are sometimes blocked for a short period. For instance, TV presenter Masha Efrosinina's account was affected. The star believes that the reason for this action was her stance on Russia and her commitment to the truth about the war.
