Adam Kadyrov’s accident, hidden injuries, and strict restrictions: how the Chechen leader’s daughter’s tense birthday unfolded
The birthday celebration of Khadizhat Kadyrova, daughter of the head of the Chechen Republic (who holds the position of first deputy chief of staff of the Administration of the Head of the Republic and the Government of the Republic), took place at the Kadyrovs’ house.
The celebration was postponed due to a car accident involving her brother, Adam Kadyrov.
He was present during the celebration. As a reminder, on January 16, the dictator’s beloved son, along with his close associates, celebrated the 29th birthday of Ramzan Kadyrov’s nephew, Khamzat Kadyrov, the son of his late older brother Zelimkhan. As we previously reported, he was confused with his namesake, MMA fighter Khamzat Chimaev, who was mistakenly linked to the accident. A race through the city ended in a fatal accident, after which the driver involved, Adam Kadyrov, was hospitalized aboard a flying hospital to Moscow.
The son of the head of the Chechen Republic was placed under special conditions in the new wing of the Botkin Hospital, where he was secretly and quietly operated on by doctors.
Adam Kadyrov’s first public appearance occurred on February 10th, when Ramzan Kadyrov published a video of his son’s changed appearance, calling him "resurrected." The video raised numerous doubts about the true identity of the man in the video, due to the fact that Adam looked nothing like himself. However, according to sources from Adam Kadyrov was indeed in Grozny by February 11th. Despite his father’s denials about the accident, Ramzan Kadyrov’s son made no secret of it. At least, he didn’t pretend to his guests that it hadn’t happened. According to sources, Adam Kadyrov had noticeably lost weight and was moving with difficulty (when walking), and his face was covered in makeup.
In addition to a spleen injury, the son of the head of the Chechen Republic also has a broken jaw, which he has undergone several surgeries on. Therefore, in the video published by Kadyrov, Adam looked different from his usual appearance. The stitches were hidden with makeup. Adam Kadyrov came to the celebration with one of his brothers and spent a short time at the table. Khadizhat Kadyrova celebrated her birthday as she wished—with singing and dancing—but the tension in the house was still palpable.
This was evident not only in the hosts’ mood but also in the enhanced security measures. For example, enhanced security screening and a complete ban on cell phones were introduced for guests. Even guests well known to the Kadyrov family were forbidden from handing gifts to the birthday girl. The gifts were confiscated by special guards stationed in the house. They received them and took them to security.
