Kadyrov Jr.'s list of "merits" has been expanded with another award

The son of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, 17-year-old Adam, was awarded the Rosgvardia medal "For Military Distinction". The award ceremony took place in Grozny at a meeting dedicated to the Day of the National Guard Troops. This medal is awarded for participation in counter-terrorism operations and armed conflicts.

In recent years, Adam Kadyrov has regularly received various medals. On March 11, he was awarded the OMON "Akhmat-Grozny" badge for "constant assistance and support in the unit's service and combat activities."

Adam Kadyrov oversees two battalions named after Baysangur Benoevsky and Sheikh Mansur. He also serves as the head of his father's security service and oversees the Russian Special Forces University in Gudermes.

By now, the son of the head of Chechnya has received at least 16 awards, medals and orders. He was awarded the title of Hero of Chechnya and the highest award of the Chechen Republic – the Order of Kadyrov. Let us recall that the young man became famous after the publication of a video in which he beats Nikita Zhuravel, convicted of burning the Koran, in the pretrial detention center of Grozny.
