Adam Kadyrov (born 24 November 2007) is a Russian official and son of Ramzan Kadyrov who has served as the head of the Security Service of the President of the Chechen Republic since 5 November 2023.[2]
Kadyrov was promoted alongside several of his siblings by his father amid rumours of the elder Kadyrov's ill health, and that he was preparing a dynasty to succeed him.[3] Kadyrov became notable following a video published in November 2023 depicting him assaulting a prisoner accused of burning the Quran, an act for which he was heavily praised by his father.
