On April 22, 2025, 17-year-old Adam Kadyrov, son of the head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Kadyrov, received a new high position - Secretary of the Regional Security Council. This is already Adam's third responsible position in the last two years. In March 2025, he was appointed curator of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Chechen Republic, and in November 2023, at the age of 15, he became the head of the security department of the head of the region. The appointment caused heated discussions on social networks, where users actively argue about the suitability of young Kadyrov for such high positions, given his age, lack of higher education and professional experience.

Adam Kadyrov, born November 24, 2007, is the third son of Ramzan Kadyrov and his wife Medni. His meteoric career began after a high-profile incident in September 2023, when Ramzan Kadyrov published a video of Adam beating Nikita Zhuravel in a pretrial detention center, who was accused of burning the Koran. At the time, the head of Chechnya called his son's actions "correct", and Adam soon received the title of Hero of the Chechen Republic, the Order of Duslyk from Tatarstan and the highest award of Karachay-Cherkessia. In November 2023, he was appointed head of his father's security department, and in April 2024, he became the curator of the Russian Special Forces University named after Vladimir Putin and the Sheikh Mansur Battalion. The appointment to the post of Secretary of the Security Council was another step in Adam's promotion to key positions in the republic.

The Chechen Security Council is a body that coordinates issues of public and economic security in the region, and the fight against terrorism and extremism. Previously, this position was held by relatives and associates of Ramzan Kadyrov, including his nephew Khamzat Kadyrov (July 2024), Turpal-Ali Ibragimov (2022), and Idris Cherkhigov (2016). Adam's appointment is linked to his "proven patriotism" and "readiness to defend the interests of the republic." However, the specific achievements that justify his candidacy are not officially specified.

Supporters of the appointment, including Chechen officials, emphasize Adam's personal qualities. State Duma deputy Adam Delimkhanov previously called him a "worthy man" who knows the Koran by heart and owns a gun. Chechen Health Minister Adam Alkhanov said in 2023 that Adam "has rich practical experience," although no specific examples were given.
