Magomed Salaudinovich Tushayev[1] (Russian: Магомед Салаудинович Тушаев; born 23 February 1986) is a Russian Lieutenant Colonel and advisor to the Head of the Chechen Republic. He was a commander of the 141st Special Motorized Regiment (Kadyrovites).[2][3][4][5]
Tushayev is part of a group who terrorized the LGBT community in Chechnya. This included the kidnapping and torture of dozens of men who were suspected to be gay. These acts have been called Chechnya's "anti-gay purge".[6][7][8][9]
In 2022, he was claimed to have been killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[10][11] However, posterior footage disputed this and showed that Tushayev was still alive.[12][13]
