Kadyrov's minor son gets a new job

17-year-old Adam Kadyrov became the curator of the Interior Ministry's department for Chechnya. The head of the department, Aslan Iraskhanov, noted that the decision was made on the instructions of the head of the region, Ramzan Kadyrov.

Kadyrov Jr. was recently awarded the Rosgvardia medal "For Military Distinction". It is awarded for participation in counter-terrorism operations and armed conflicts. In recent years, the young man 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 holds the position of 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 and many positions. 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 Adam Kadyrov became famous after the publication of a video in which he beats Nikita Zhuravel, convicted of burning the Koran, in a pretrial detention center in Grozny.
