Kadyrov's son, who beat a student in a pre-trial detention center, addressed his critics

15-year-old Adam Kadyrov, after the release of a video where he beats Volgograd student Nikita Zhuravel in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny, published a post on his Instagram account. “You can gossip, hate, envy and discuss me. But we both understand that when we meet, you will smile sweetly at me…” wrote Adam.

Earlier, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, posted a video in which his son, under the supervision of guards, beats Nikita Zhuravel, arrested in the case of burning the Koran, in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny. Until now, Russian law enforcement agencies have not made official statements regarding the beating. Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, said he "does not want" to comment on the video. It was with the approval of the President of the Russian Federation that the student detained in Volgograd was sent to a pre-trial detention center in Chechnya.

Let us remind you that Nikita Zhuravel was detained on May 21 after a video appeared on social networks in which he was burning the Koran in front of a mosque. A criminal case was opened against him for insulting the feelings of believers. He admitted that he had done a bad thing and asked for forgiveness from Muslims around the world.
