The chief of the Chechen State Television and Radio Company, known as ChGTRK Grozny, Chingiz Akhmadov, stated that 15-year-old Adam Ramzan Kadyrov, son of the republic’s president, received praise strictly for a certain action. Akhmadov shared a video message that circulated on a Telegram channel.
In Akhmadov’s account, Adam Kadyrov took responsibility for halting what he described as the spread of unrest and, as a result, ensured the arrest of Nikita Zhuravel. Akhmadov claimed Zhuravel sought to inflame tensions between different religious and national groups, and that Adam demonstrated that such provocations would be resisted.
The head of ChGTRK stressed that Zhuravel is not connected to the events and actually is considerably older than Adam Kadyrov, which could give him an advantage in resisting pressure. Yet Zhuravel allegedly demonstrated, through his actions, that those in Western intelligence circles lack the resolve to stand with believers. Therefore, the steadfast Adam Kadyrov prevailed in this exchange of ideas and influence.
Akhmadov added that Zhuravel was punished in accordance with the case, and the awards granted to Adam Kadyrov were issued in line with the situation described. He asserted that, besides protecting the religious sentiments of believers by law in Russia, there are people ready to defend Islam in the spirit of the law as well.
Akhmed Dudayev, who previously held the posts of Minister of National Policy, Foreign Relations, and Information in Chechnya, remarked that 15-year-old Adam Kadyrov had been trained in military affairs and tactical shooting from a young age, reflecting a pattern of preparation for defense-related duties.
There have been prior warnings from the Russian Foreign Ministry about the serious consequences of disrespecting sacred texts, including reports of potential repercussions for burning the Quran and similar actions.
