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

  • The soldier who cut off an ISIS terrorist’s ear is now auctioning it off
  • The auction took place via a Nazi-linked Russian Telegram channel
  • It was used to torture terror suspect Saidakrami Rachabalizoda

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

Terror 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 with Telegram, while a later video showed an officer cutting off his right ear and force-feeding him.

The officer, who was previously seen wearing a neo-Nazi emblem, has now put the short, bloody knife up for auction.

The ‘ear-cut’ knife was shared on the neo-Nazi-linked Telegram channel ‘TopaZ Says’ and was auctioned without a starting bid.

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

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

Although it is currently unknown whether the knife has been sold yet, the highest apparently genuine bid that MailOnline could see was ten thousand rubles, equivalent to £85.

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

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

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

The blade can be seen next to a partially hidden gold-black spot. Although the center is obscured by the smiling face of a young man, the extensions of the spot are still visible.

The patch appears to indicate a variant of the Black Sun.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the Black Sun has been used as a symbol by neo-Nazis and other white supremacists 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 was used as a central hub for the SS.

Vladimir Putin said on Monday that radical Islamists were the ones who carried out the attack, but said Russia still wanted to know who 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 no longer happening the way it used to.

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

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

But whether the men were commissioned by the Islamic State, as the militant group and the West claim, or whether there was perhaps some Ukrainian connection, as Putin has hinted – and Kiev has outright denied – there were warning signs that none of them were aware of. was heeded.
