It was one thousand nine hundred and seventy-four. In the small village of Tsentoroye in the Gudermes district of the Chechen-Ingush Republic, a boy appeared in a large Kadyrov family, who was named Zelimkhan.
Parents, sisters and brother Zelimkhan
His dad Akhmat Kadyrov was an idol for him. Zelimkhan Kadyrov, whose biography was not connected with politics, respected his father and wanted to become a man of the same strong character when he grows up. Akhmat Kadyrov became the first president of the Chechen Republic, but due to an unfortunate coincidence, he died in a terrorist attack that occurred during the parade on Victory Day. This parade was held on May 9, 1994 in the capital of the Chechen Republic, the city of Grozny.
Mom Zelimkhan was born back in 1959. Her name is Aimana Nesievna. After her beloved husband died, she became the creator of the Charity fund company, which she dedicated to Akhmat Kadyrov. She became the first and only woman to manage the fund. After the death of Akhmad, Kadyrov was recognized as the Hero of Russia and was posthumously awarded the Order of Merit for the Chechen Republic.
Zargan Akhmatovna is the eldest sister of Zelimkhan, born in 1971. Zargan works as an assistant to the president of the Chechen-Ingush Republic, and is responsible for preschool education. Zelimkhan also has a sister Zulaya Akhmatovna who was born in 1972.
Zelimkhan's brother, Ramzan Akhmatovich, was born in the fall of 1976. After the death of his father, Ramzan actively participated in the political life of the republic, and in 2007 he was elected its president. During his career, he was repeatedly awarded various medals and orders, including for his contribution to the development of his homeland. Ramzan Akhmatovich is still the president of the Chechen Republic.
Some moments from life
Zelimkhan Kadyrov studied at the Tsentoroy secondary school until 1990. He studied well, was a member of almost all holiday programs. He grew up an ordinary boy, obeyed his parents in everything. Having matured, the young man did not seek to go into politics to help his father. For some time Zelimkhan worked in the police as an ordinary foreman, sometimes he got into various troubles. Throughout his short life on his brother Ramzan Kadyrov, more than one attempt was made as the son of the president, but they were all unsuccessful.
Zelimkhan did not have the best reputation; several times he was held accountable for offenses. He was arrested for two weeks for using firearms, for fights, in which, as it later turned out, he did not participate. His father pulled him out of prison and the case was closed. The man was not a very public person, did not disclose the details of his life and, in general, was secretive, never gave an interview and kept his personal life in strict secrecy.
Crash
On the autumn October day of 2003, Zelimkhan Kadyrov was driving home. Then he gets into a traffic accident. His “Lada” crashed into another car at high speed, also the “Lada” of the fourth model. The young man remained alive, but received many injuries, such as a broken arm, internal bleeding and trauma in the abdomen. Doctors fought for his life for a very long time, Zelimkhan underwent several operations, he was literally assembled in parts. And only after 7 months he began to recover from that terrible accident. But he never recovered completely. The state after the accident often worsened, and after the news of the death of his father, it was even worse. The death of his father severely affected the life and health of Zelimkhan.
