Kadyrov's son was appointed curator of the Sheikh Mansur battalion

The son of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov, was appointed curator of the Sheikh Mansur battalion, which is part of the Russian Ministry of Defense. The teenager also received another award - the star of the battalion. This was reported by the speaker of the Chechen parliament Magomed Daudov and State Duma deputy from Chechnya Adam Delimkhanov.

Daudov expressed confidence that Adam Kadyrov, who will soon be appointed head of the security department of the head of Chechnya, “will justify the trust placed in it at a high level and will do everything to ensure that the battalion personnel are provided with everything necessary to carry out their assigned tasks efficiently.”

At the end of September, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video on his Telegram channel in which his son beats student Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Koran, in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny. Adam was not brought to criminal or administrative liability.

After this, the teenager was presented with many awards and titles.
