The publication writes that Kadyrov’s state of health is deteriorating, and he would like the representative of his family to be at the head of Chechnya, although the Constitution of the Russian Federation does not allow the regional power to be transferred to his sons in the republic.
In total, Kadyrov has 14 children born from several women, adulthood has already reached six.
The “new newspaper Europe” takes most of the material to describe the 26-year-old Aishat Kadyrova, who until February was the deputy prime minister of Chechnya and who is the only one who can say that it took place as a businesswoman, as an official and as a regional politician. ”
“Kadyrov would not have a headache with the appointment of a successor if Aishat was born a man,” the journalists of one of their interlocutors quoted.
Other children Kadyrov went to the “beaten [Айшат] The path ”, but after her resignation and the announcement that she would engage in business,“ it became clear that Kadyrov in terms of the successor relies on his third son Adam. ”The reason is“ neither the first nor the second sons justified his father’s hopes for succession. ”
The authors of the material believe that Kadyrov has been trying to get guarantees from the Kremlin for his family in case of leaving power since 2023.
They note that in February 2023, when the state of health of Kadyrov “became more and more questions”, the illegitimate president of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin “unexpectedly accepted Akhmat Kadyrov in the Kremlin, at that time the 17-year-old eldest son of the head of Chechnya. A year later, Putin met with the second most seniorly son Kadyrov, Zelimkhan, when he was also 17 years old.
According to the sources of Novaya Gazeta, Kadyrov sought Putin’s meeting and at that time 15-year-old Adam Kadyrov, but the Kremlin was allegedly refused for two reasons: because of the scandal with Adam’s beating convicted to insult the feelings of believers and because Adam was going to marry too early (at the age of 15 he married Zelimkhan one day).
“Putin met Adam Kadyrov a few months later, when last summer he came to Chechnya a short visit. It was his third son Kadyrov that instructed a very responsible task: to demonstrate a master class to President Putin at the President of the President Putin’s Russian University. Adam missed the emerging media.
Journalists note that Kadyrov first appointed Adam to a technical position – the head of the security department of the administration of the head and government of Chechnya, but it was thanks to this position that Adam Kadyrov became a civil servant.
“April 22 […] Ramzan Kadyrov appointed him the secretary of the Republican Council of Ministers, having dismissed his native nephew, 28-year-old Khamzat Kadyrov from this position. […] The new “power” statuses of Adam Kadyrov, in fact, formalize the unofficial position that he now occupies in the republic. Because despite all the jokes and memes that gave rise to numerous awards of the third son of Kadyrov, he today is the second most influential person in Chechnya. More precisely, Kadyrov himself consistently makes him consistently, ”the publication says.
It draws in it that “the size of the Adam motorcade is the same as that of his father,” as well as “more and more often his portraits are found in the offices of officials.”
“Forcing the close-ups of the security forces to relate to a 17-year-old guy, as his successor, to obey him, Kadyrov groups an informal center of power around Adam, which has the ability to arrest on anyone and confronts with any opponent. Father also switched all the shadow financial flows to him, which, until recently, was engaged in the degree of approximation of the Cadam Cadyrov-Adam Delimkhanov,” He writes the media.
