A monument to Akhmad Kadyrov, father of Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, was vandalized in Moscow's Yuzhnoye Butovo district early Sunday, Interfax reported.
"Three unidentified people fished out two pigs' heads from a plastic bag, put them on the base of the monument and fled," a source told the agency.
Former Chechen President Akhmad Kadyrov was assassinated in 2004.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
