In Chechnya, over the past several months, the increasing prominence of Ramzan Kadyrov's sons has been noticeable, as media reports suggest he has been battling a severe illness for some time. 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 directed towards the Kremlin and its subordinate politicians. One name that frequently appears is Ramzan Kadyrov. He continues to uphold the power in Chechnya that his father, Akhmad Kadyrov, initiated.
Over time, however, the media have spoken less about Kadyrov's controversial views and more about the noticeable changes in his physical appearance. As a result, there have been 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.
Just this year, they represented Chechnya during an official visit to Vladimir Putin and during 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 most important streets in Grozny were utterly closed so that the convoy of as many as 35 government cars would not encounter any difficulties along the way.
What caught the attention of the internet and local media much more was the figure of 16-year-old Adam Kadyrov, who, despite his young age, stood 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 thus decidedly more dominant compared to the Russian Prime Minister in the photos.
