“This high award is a well-deserved recognition of Adam Ramzanovič’s contribution to the security and support of a special military operation,” said Achmed Dudayev, deputy head of the Chechen government. He justified the high award by the fact that the young man is a member of the leadership of Vladimir Putin’s University of Russian Special Forces in Gudermes, where soldiers preparing for deployment in the Russian-Ukrainian war are trained.
The current award is certainly not the first in the collection of the young Kadyrov, writes the website Korrespondent. The Russian media wrote that at his age he already has 22 awards. Among them are, for example, the medal of the Defender of the Chechen Republic, the medal of the National Guard for combat bravery, the commemorative medal for the 20th anniversary of the Sever regiment and also the gold medal of Rosenergoat for merits in improving the safety of nuclear power plants. But it is not specified for what merits.
Some time ago he was awarded the Hero of Chechnya award, appointed head of his father’s security service and became a member of the Ministry of the Interior in Chechnya. In October 2024, his name was entered in the Russian book of records as the youngest head of the security service, he was 16 years old at the time.
This March, Adam Kadyrov took part in a meeting with the region’s security forces. He came to the meeting in a major’s uniform.
In February, the media reported that the young man was released from the Botkin Hospital in Moscow, where he spent almost three weeks after a car accident in Grozny.
He became infamous in 2023 when he beat a man accused of burning the Koran. His father published the video on the Internet and showed that he was proud of his son.
