Kadyrov First Showed Video Of His Son A Month After The Accident

There's a nuance to the footage.

Chechen leader's son Adam Kadyrov has made his first public appearance after reports that he was involved in a serious traffic accident. A video of him almost a month after the accident was published by Ramzan Kadyrov, writes OBOZ.UA.

The video, allegedly taken on February 10, shows Kadyrov Jr. looking slimmer. Russian publication "Agency" reports the details.

The publication writes that on Tuesday evening Ramzan Kadyrov published a 43-second video in his Telegram channel in which his son Adam appeared. Following reports that Kadyrov Jr. had been involved in a serious accident in Grozny and was hospitalized in a Moscow hospital, this is his first public appearance in almost a month.

Kadyrov Sr. notes in a commentary to the video that he was having dinner with his aide Vismurad Aliyev and son Adam. Judging by the picture, the video was recorded on the Chechen leader's phone.

Adam appears last in the clip - he enters the room where his father and assistant are already sitting at the table. Kadyrov Sr. calls him "resurrected," pronouncing it in Russian. Adam then sits down at the table and says the phrase in Chechen.

"According to Kadyrov and Aliyev, the video was shot at 7:55 p.m. on February 10. According to the video's metadata, the video was created on February 10 at 18:21 UTC (21:21 Moscow time, the time of shooting may be different). "In the new video, the Chechen leader's son looks thinner compared to his last appearance in public, which took place back in mid-January," the Agency writes.

Immediately after the reports of the accident involving Kadyrov Jr, the Chechen leadership tried to deny the rumors that had spread. The day after the probable accident, Ramzan Kadyrov published a video from a meeting attended by Adam. However, the metadata of the video destroyed this hasty "anti-crisis": the video was taken a few days before the accident. The same story was repeated with other videos of Adam published by representatives of the Kadyrovs' entourage.

"The Agency" notes that last week Ramzan Kadyrov's business jet (flight number RSJ9617) returned from Moscow to Grozny. This plane left for the Russian capital immediately after the news of the accident on January 16, after which it stayed in the capital for 10 days, and from January 26 to February 4 it flew four times from Moscow to Grozny and back. On February 5, the plane returned to the capital of Chechnya, where, according to the service, it is still staying.
