Adam Kadyrov received another honorary title.
The third son of Ramzan Kadyrov and the Secretary of the Security Council of Chechnya, Adam Kadyrov, received the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Kurchaloevsky District."
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", in June, Ramzan Kadyrov awarded the title of Hero of Chechnya to his 18-year-old son Adam Kadyrov for the second time; the first award was given shortly after the beating of Nikita Zhuravel in the pre-trial detention center. The authorities of Chechnya explained the awarding of the title by Adam's outstanding merits to the state, service to the people, and support for the special military operation. The first son of the head of Chechnya, Akhmat Kadyrov, unlike his younger brother, received his first title of Hero of Chechnya only on August 7. The awarding of high honors and titles, such as Hero of Chechnya, to Ramzan Kadyrov's sons does not add popularity to either them or Kadyrov Sr.: for most people, such gestures cause irritation, mockery, and bewilderment, analysts interviewed by "Caucasian Knot" believe.
The Security Council of Chechnya, headed by Adam Kadyrov, announced today the new medal in Adam Kadyrov's collection. The official Telegram channel of the agency published a congratulatory message to Adam Kadyrov on being awarded the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Kurchaloevsky District of the Chechen Republic."
The press service of the Security Council called the awarding of another honorary title to Kadyrov Jr. a "well-deserved recognition of his responsible work, dedication to the interests of the republic, and merits to the residents of the Kurchaloevsky District." The specific merits to the residents are not detailed in the message.
In October 2025, Adam Kadyrov received the title of "Honorary Citizen of the Nadterechny Municipal District." The corresponding medal was presented to him during the opening ceremony of the Dustum sports complex in the village of Gvardeyskoye. The complex is named after Adam Kadyrov.
Adam Kadyrov began receiving numerous awards and titles in the fall of 2023, shortly after the beating of Nikita Zhuravel in the pre-trial detention center. Details are compiled in the "Caucasian Knot" reference "Beating of Nikita Zhuravel: why did Kadyrov's men need to publish the video".
The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, stated that his son Adam received all his awards for specific achievements and called him a "remarkable guy." From February 2022 to August 2025, Ramzan Kadyrov and 29 of his close relatives received at least 146 different awards and honors. The head of Chechnya personally received at least 31 awards. His son Adam takes second place in the number of awards.
On August 25, 2025, he was awarded the medal "For the Defender of the Chechen Republic" during a tactical shooting championship, although he did not participate in this competition. On May 31, Adam Kadyrov received a medal for his contribution to the special military operation.
On January 16, sources reported that the convoy of Ramzan Kadyrov's third son was involved in a traffic accident in Grozny, injuring Adam Kadyrov and his escorts. For three weeks after the reports of the accident, Adam Kadyrov maintained relative activity on social media but did not publish any new images. On February 9, Ramzan Kadyrov mentioned for the first time the road accident involving his third son Adam, calling all media publications about the incident "a provocation." "Caucasian Knot" has prepared a reference "What is known about the classified incident involving Adam Kadyrov in Grozny".
In the summer of 2026, a video appeared on one of the social media accounts associated with Adam Kadyrov, showing him violating traffic rules: the third son of the head of Chechnya exceeded the permissible speed by 2.5 times, drove over a double solid line, and used his phone while driving. Such a video could legally serve as grounds for an administrative case, including the revocation of his driving license, lawyers pointed out. A few days after the publication of such a video, Adam Kadyrov received a medal from the traffic police.
