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.

Ruben Vardanyan Drops Appeal Against 20-Year Sentence in Azerbaijan

Billionaire and former Nagorno-Karabakh state minister Ruben Vardanyan, sentenced in Baku to 20 years in prison, rejected the legal force of the ruling and dropped his appeal. His family explained that this decision stemmed from the fact that, in their view, the trial was a "staged performance" rather than a proper trial: the hearings were held behind closed doors, without access to independent observers, and the prosecution's motions were ignored. The full text of the verdict was also not released.

Chechnya Leads in Lowest Alcohol Sales
25 February 2026

In 2025, residents of the North Caucasus regions consumed the least amount of hard liquor in Russia. The lowest official retail sales figures were recorded in Chechnya (0.01 liters per capita). Other republics of the North Caucasus Federal District also demonstrated modest figures: Ingushetia - 0.7 liters, Dagestan - 2.2 liters, Kabardino-Balkaria - 2.6 liters, North Ossetia - 3 liters, and Karachay-Cherkessia - 3.4 liters. Experts attribute this decline to the prevalence of cultural and religious restrictions, as well as a preference for low-alcohol beverages.
