Chechen politics stir: Kadyrov's son takes center stage
In Chechnya, for the past several months, the growing role of Ramzan Kadyrov's sons has been noticeable, as media indicate he has been battling a severe illness. During a recent visit by the Russian Prime Minister to the region, all attention was focused on 16-year-old Adam.

Since the beginning of the war in Ukraine, the world's eyes have been on the Kremlin and its subordinate politicians. One name that appears frequently is Ramzan Kadyrov. He maintains the power in Chechnya that his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, initiated.
Over time, however, the media spoke less about Kadyrov's controversial views and more about the changes in his physical appearance. This has led to reports about several serious illnesses that the Chechen politician is battling. Adding fuel to the fire is the significant increase in appearances by his two sons as representatives of Chechnya.
This year alone, they represented Chechnya during an official visit to Vladimir Putin and the recent visit by Mikhail Mishustin to the region. During the meeting with the Russian Prime Minister, the internet noticed an interesting detail about the attire of 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov.
High soles of Ramzan Kadyrov's son during an official visit
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin's Tuesday visit caused quite a stir in the capital of Chechnya. Just before the politician's arrival, the main streets in Grozny were completely closed so that the column of as many as 35 government cars would not encounter any difficulties along the way.
What caught the internet's and local media's attention even more was the figure of 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov, who, despite his young age, stands in a firm and dominant posture in many pictures with the Prime Minister.
Upon closer inspection of the young politician, his excessively high shoe soles stand out. Thanks to them, the newly appointed 16-year-old curator of the Putin Russian University of Spetsnaz appeared taller and decidedly more dominant in the photos than the Russian Prime Minister.
