Kadyrov's son entered into the Russian Book of Records as the youngest head of security service
The son of the head of Chechnya, Adam Kadyrov, was recognized as "the youngest head of the security service of the head of a Russian region." He was appointed to the post at the age of 16. This was announced by the Chairman of the Government of Chechnya, Magomed Daudov. According to him, the corresponding diploma was presented to Kadyrov Jr. by the editor-in-chief of the "Book of Records of Russia" Stanislav Konenko during the ACA 180 mixed martial arts tournament in Grozny.
 
Adam Kadyrov is also the curator of the Russian University of Special Forces in Chechnya. Previously, he received at least nine awards, including the title of Hero of Chechnya. Kadyrov's son began receiving awards after he beat up a 19-year-old student from Volgograd, Nikita Zhuravel, in a pretrial detention center, who burned the Koran and was subsequently convicted of insulting the feelings of believers.
