The teenage son of Ramzan Kadyrov, the leader of Russia’s Chechnya region and close ally of President Vladimir Putin, has been appointed secretary of the region’s security council, according to the council’s Telegram channel.

Adam Kadyrov turned 17 in November 2024. It is the fourth time he has been appointed to an official position since 2023, when he was 15.

He already serves as his father’s top bodyguard, a trustee of Chechnya’s Special Forces University, and an observer in a new army battalion.

Ramzan Kadyrov has led Chechnya, a mountainous Muslim region in southern Russia that tried to break away from Moscow in wars that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union, since 2007.

A pakistani news site from a 2020 sign-up? Color me skeptical.

It’s been widely covered on other sites. His dad has cancer, and is staying in Dubai. Whether the son will become the new warlord is not yet determined.

This will certainly inspire confidence in his people and send fear through their enemies.

This will help him with girls, 17 can be such an awkward age.

Kid is kind of cute and looks too nice to have that position.
But looks are deceiving.

Funny. I was noting that the poster was a 2020 sign-up, and the source was a Pakistani website.

Do you not believe in practicing discernment, FRiend?

Reality of Putin’s Russia. It’s not the grass is greener fantasy that the Moscow Kremlin’s duped useful fools dream of.
