Tweet Allegedly Places Kadirov's 18-Year-Old Son in Security Post

A Tweet Places Kadirov's Son at the Head of the Chechen Security Council

The Chechen leader Kadirov has installed his 18-year-old son at the head of the Chechen National Security Council, according to the version circulated on social media based on an image from a meeting. The same version, translated from Turkish, claims that the new head has an intellectual disability and can barely speak, even reading from paper, and adds that present are veterans who are triple his age and who are obligated to obey his orders.

What Is Known About the Appointment and What Remains Unconfirmed

Currently, there is only one source: the description circulating alongside the meeting image. The two facts supporting the account are the son's age—18 years old—and the generational gap at the table: individuals three times his age. Everything else falls into the realm of interpretation. Neither the exact nature of the position nor the scope of his powers is backed by an official statement.

This is where the first sustancia ilegal appears. On paper, the post is not a decorative title, and this fuels doubt about who truly holds power. Some maintain that the appointment is purely symbolic and that the apparatus remains in other hands. The opposing view points to what is typical in personality-driven regimes: the post is inherited by blood, not merit. If power is hereditary, the question unanswered is who truly signs the documents reaching that table.

From Grozny to Discussion on Young People Who Don't Read Aloud

The matter soon broadened. What began as a description of a family appointment evolved into a generational reckoning: it is argued that young people speak less nowadays, that the habit of reading aloud has been lost, and that mobile phones atrophy language. One participant quantified the average conversation among young people at five minutes a day. While there is no study to support this figure in the available material, it has served to bring the issue home.

The comparisons with Spanish politics came later, accompanied by a mocking memory of a former president and the easy joke of proposing Khamzat Chimaev as diplomat. That kind of inside joke summarizes the mood better than any analysis: humor as a way to process news that, ultimately, holds no comedy.

What Remains Unanswered

The appointment has not been confirmed or denied by official channels, and the son's disability is only present in the version circulated on social media. There is no independent verification of the scene or the appointment.

The most repeated detail is the age: 18 years old facing a table of veterans. Everything else hangs on an unverified photograph and a translated tweet. It is little material for a post that, according to this version, presides over the security of an entire republic.
