Kadyrov's 17-year-old son receives another award
17-year-old Adam Kadyrov, one of the sons of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, has been awarded again. He was presented with a chest badge of the OMON detachment "Akhmat-Grozny". The reason was for "constant assistance and support of the service and combat activities of the unit."
 
In response, Adam Kadyrov awarded the title of "Hero of the Chechen Republic" to three officers of the unit - Salambek Bisayev, Temirkhan Inasalamov and Magomed Makhalayev.
 
Adam Kadyrov oversees two battalions in Chechnya, named after Baysangur Benoevsky and Sheikh Mansur. He also holds the position of head of the security service for his father and oversees the Russian University of Special Forces in Gudermes.
 
To date, the son of the head of Chechnya has received at least 15 awards, medals and orders. He was awarded the title Hero of Chechnya and the highest award of the Chechen Republic – the Order of Kadyrov. Let us recall that Adam Kadyrov became famous after the publication of a video in which he beats Nikita Zhuravel, convicted of burning the Koran, in a pretrial detention center in Grozny.
