Adam Kadyrov's collection of awards has been expanded

Adam Kadyrov, Secretary of the Chechen Security Council and son of the regional governor, received a commemorative medal in honor of the 20th anniversary of the Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov "Sever" Regiment. The award ceremony took place at a gala event celebrating the anniversary of the special motorized regiment.

In late March, 18-year-old Adam Kadyrov made his first public appearance following reports of an accident. In mid-January, media reported a traffic accident involving Adam Kadyrov's motorcade in Grozny, injuring him and his entourage. On February 9, Ramzan Kadyrov called the reports of the incident "fabricated," and on February 10, he published a video showing Adam Kadyrov for the first time in several weeks since the alleged accident. Adam Kadyrov has been awarded numerous high honors, including the "Defender of the Chechen Republic" medal, Chechnya's highest order, the title of Hero of the Republic, as well as insignia from Karachay-Cherkessia, Kabardino-Balkaria, and Tatarstan.
