Kadyrov's son Adam received another award
The son of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov, 17-year-old Adam Kadyrov, received the Order of the Hero of the Caucasian War Baysangur Benoyevsky for eternal storage and wearing. This was reported by the Chairman of the Government of Chechnya Magomed Daudov.
 
According to him, this award was presented to the Chechen leader and naib of the imamate Baysangur Benoyevsky by Imam Shamil during the years of the conflict.
 
"This is not only a high honor, but also a symbol of the continuity of generations, a reminder of the great history of the Chechen people and their heroic struggle for freedom!" Daudov wrote.
 
Kadyrov Jr. oversees two battalions named after Baysangur Benoyevsky and Sheikh Mansur. He also works as the head of the security service of the head and government of the Chechen Republic. In April, the guy was appointed curator of the Russian Special Forces University named after Putin in Gudermes.
 
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 the Grozny pretrial detention center. After this, the son of the head of the region was awarded more than a dozen awards and titles, including the title of Hero of Chechnya and the highest award of the Chechen Republic - the Order of Kadyrov.
