Kadyrov's son received a new position

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, appointed his 16-year-old son Adam Kadyrov as curator of the Putin Russian Special Forces University. He reported this on his Telegram channel.

“At the request of my dear BROTHER, head of RUS Baybetar Vaikhanov, I decided to appoint Adam Kadyrov as curator of RUS. He is closely familiar with the activities of the famous university, so I believe that he will cope with his assigned responsibilities very well,” Kadyrov wrote.

“Adam Ramzanovich will come to educational institutions of the republic, communicate with young people, convince young people to take part in hostilities in Ukraine, having previously completed training at the special forces university in Gudermes,” says the BRIEF Telegram channel, citing sources familiar with the situation.

Russian Special Forces University is an educational institution in the Russian Federation created for the training of special units. Founded on August 1, 2013.

Let us recall that in November Adam Kadyrov was appointed curator of the Sheikh Mansur battalion. In addition, he received at least 10 awards after beating 19-year-old Volgograd student Nikita Zhuravel, accused of burning the Koran, in the Grozny pre-trial detention center.

Novaya Gazeta Europe, in its investigation published last week, claims that the entire PR campaign launched around the third son of the head of Chechnya last fall is aimed at shifting attention away from the deplorable state of health of Ramzan Kadyrov, as well as creating a positive image for Adam himself. after attacks on him by Chechen opposition blogger Tumso Abdurakhmanov.
