Kadyrov again appointed a relative to a ministerial post

This is an educational institution in the Russian Federation, created for the training of special units. In November 2023, Adam Kadyrov became the curator of the Sheikh Mansur battalion. In addition, he received at least 10 awards after beating 19-year-old Volgograd student Nikita Zhuravel in the Grozny pre-trial detention center.

Kadyrov’s 24-year-old daughter Khadizhat was awarded the post of deputy head of the administration of the head of Chechnya. And 25-year-old Aishat Kadyrova served as deputy head of the Chechen government. She also happened to serve as the Minister of Culture of Chechnya.
