Egyptian football legend and Liverpool player Mo Salah is mobbed by the media as he strolls alongside Chechen strongman Ramzan Kadyrov in Grozny, the capital city of the Chechen Republic in southern Russia.
The Egyptian national football team has its World Cup training base in Chechnya for the duration of the event.
The video was captured on the evening of June 10 at the local Akhmat-Arena, named after former leader Akhmat Kadyrov – Ramzan's late father who was assassinated in an explosion in 2004.
Ramzan Kadyrov has developed a controversial reputation over the years. Under his leadership Chechnya has made global headlines for its crackdown on LGBT people and political dissent, and attacks on journalists.
