In Grozny, a special event took place on October 4. A 16-year-old boy named Adam Kadyrov made history. He was honored for being the youngest head of a security service in Russia. This was a big deal, and many people were excited to celebrate his achievement.
The award ceremony happened during an MMA tournament. This event was shown live on Match TV, a popular channel in Russia. Adam received a certificate from the Russian Book of Records. Stanislav Konenko presented the award to him. He also received a shiny medal for helping promote the Russian Book of Records.
Adam's father, Ramzan Kadyrov, is a well-known leader in Chechnya. He is powerful and has many followers. He shared the exciting news on his Telegram channel. He was proud of his son and wanted everyone to know about Adam's achievement.
The head of the Chechen government, Magomed Daudov, also praised Adam. He called him a true patriot. Adam responded with enthusiasm, saying, “We do not intend to stop; Akhmat is power.” This shows that he wants to continue his work and make his father proud.
Last year, Adam Kadyrov became the head of his father’s security department. This was a big responsibility for someone so young. In April, he took on another important role as the curator for the Vladimir Putin Russian University of Special Forces. These titles show how quickly Adam is rising in ranks.
Adam has already received other honors too. He was named the Hero of the Chechen Republic. This title is given to those who do exceptional things for the country. He also received the Order “Duslyk,” which is the highest award from the Republic of Tatarstan.
Adam’s rise to power has not been without controversy. He was involved in a serious incident where he physically attacked a man for burning the Quran. Reports say his father encouraged him to act this way. This event raised eyebrows, but Adam continues to gain recognition.
His father, Ramzan Kadyrov, has a close relationship with the Kremlin. He has been very vocal about his support for the war in Ukraine. Kadyrov's troops are even fighting on the front lines. However, he has also criticized President Putin, claiming that if he were in charge, they would have captured the Ukrainian capital long ago.
