Against the background of the fact that Chechnya is now constantly on the information agenda, a photo of the son of the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, Adam, wearing an expensive watch, has spread on social networks.
Adam Kadyrov at different times published several photos of the same type, in which wristwatches are clearly visible, on his Instagram. In particular, seven weeks ago he congratulated his younger sister Ashura Kadyrova on her birthday. A month ago, the post was dedicated to the birthday of her sister, the Minister of Culture of Chechnya, Aishat Kadyrova, two weeks ago, to the birthday of her sister, Khadizhat.

The former coordinator of the Kazan headquarters of Alexei Navalny (Navalny’s headquarters were recognized as extremist organizations and liquidated) Oleg Yemelyanov, on his Twitter page, drew attention to these pictures and to the watch itself. “Cool, the son of Ramzan Kadyrov Adam wears a Richard Mille watch for 37 million [рублей]. He is not shy and calmly publishes on his Instagram, ”he wrote.
Yemelyanov also posted another picture from Adam Kadyrov’s Instagram a little later, where he wears a different watch. “There’s another Hublot for 1.7 million. Well, just wear it to school once,” he commented on the photo.

In the discussion under Yemelyanov’s posts, users leave critical comments, recalling, in particular, that Chechnya is a subsidized region. Not so long ago, the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, announced that the government annually allocates 300 billion rubles for the “maintenance” of Chechnya and its people. According to Kadyrov, Chechnya will not be able to live even three months without this money. “I also thought that we need an independent Ichkeria, that we can live as a separate state. I swear by Allah, we can’t. Without Russia, we will not be able to,” Kadyrov said.
Commentators also recalled a resonant story related to Adam Kadyrov. In April last year, then 13-year-old Adam participated in a boxing match with his peer Aslan Bitirov. During the exchange of blows between Adam Kadyrov and Aslan Bitirov, the referee unexpectedly stopped the fight, and Aslan’s second threw in the towel, admitting defeat.
As a result, many people called the victory at least controversial. Adam Kadyrov himself stated that he was ready for revenge.
