The Chechen Head of Putin is responsible for 17 years the security of the Republic

Adam Kadyrov enjoys a stellar career.

The Russian state media reported that the 17 -year -old had been appointed curator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya on Monday, which means that he will supervise local police and security forces. The ministry also manages the fight against terrorism and the control of riots.

A state program showed that the teenager received the appointment at a ceremonial meeting like the uniform officers applauded.

Shortly after, he was filmed by exercising his duties by appointing a new chief of the operational research division of Chechnya and putting medals back to the police.

The 17 -year -old has already been appointed supervisor of the Chechnéa Russian Special Forces University last April. The University says that it teaches soldiers and soldiers of skills such as artillery operations and the parachute landing.

The teenager is also the third son of Ramzan Kadyrov, the head of the strong man of the Chechen Republic with Russian predominance.

Closely an ally with the Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Kadyrov’s family increased in power by helping Moscow defeat the Chechen separatists in the early 2000s. They played a pronounced role in the invasion of Ukraine, especially in the first days of the war on a large scale, when Chechen militias were frequently seen to fight on the front line.

Adam’s increase in childhood came in the middle of the war. He set up for the public at the age of 15 after being filmed in September 2023, beating and cutting a prisoner accused of burning the Koran.

The Russian Human Rights authorities expressed their concern about the assault, but Kadyrov praised his son after the clip became viral and said that he “had done the right thing”.

Since then, the teenager has been awarded to the “Hero of the Republic” medal of Chechnya. He received at least eight other prices and state honors separately.

In November 2023, just before the age of 16, he was appointed head of the security detail of his father. For his role, the adolescent was written in Russia’s “Book Of Records” – the country’s version of Guinness World Records – to be the youngest recorded in a security detail.

The distinctions and meetings have aroused speculation that the adolescent is treated to succeed his father in the midst of rumors that Kadyrov may suffer from poor health. Novaya Gazeta, an independent Russian newspaper, reported in April that the War Lord could fight against problems with his kidneys and his pancreas.

Kadyrov was not seen on Monday during the appointment of his son, but the state media said that the adolescent had received the role of the Chechene chief’s order. State shows have shown him meeting local residents at the Eid Muslim Festival.

The Kadyrov press service did not respond to a request for comments sent by Business Insider.
