Some moments from life

Zelimkhan Kadyrov studied at the Central secondary school before 1990. He studied well, was a member of almost all the festive programs. He grew up an ordinary boy, listened to his parents in everything. Growing up, the young man did not seek to go to politics to help his father. For some time Zelimkhan worked in the police as an ordinary sergeant-major, sometimes fell into various woes. For all of his short life on Ramzan Kadyrov's brother, not one attempt was made as the president's son, but all of them were unsuccessful.

Zelimkhan did not have the best reputation, he was repeatedly brought to justice for offenses. He was arrested for two weeks for the use of firearms, for fights, 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 particularly public, did not disclose the details of his life and, in general, was secretive, never gave interviews and kept his private life in strict secrecy.

Accident

In the autumn October day of 2003 Zelimkhan Kadyrov went home. Then he gets into a traffic accident. His "Lada" at high speed crashed into another car, also the "Lada" fourth model. The young man remained alive, but suffered many injuries, such as a fractured arm, internal bleeding and a trauma in the abdomen. Doctors for a long time struggled for his life, Zelimkhan suffered several operations, he was literally collected in parts. And only after 7 months he began to recover after that terrible accident. But completely he has not recovered. The state after the accident was often worsening, and after the news of his father's death, it even worsened. The death of my father seriously affected the life and health of Zelimkhan.

Death

In 2003, the son of the first Chechen president dies in the prime of life. Zelimkhan Kadyrov, whose cause of death was to stop the heart, was found at home. The ambulance did not manage to arrive.

Last time the media managed to see him at his father's funeral. Journalists interviewed the whole family, except for him. Zelimkhan could not say anything, it was clear that he was the hardest of all. And this is how the world remembered him. A man with wet eyes, in a sapphire skullcap with a gold pattern, in a black jacket and army pants of protective color. That was Kadyrov Zelimkhan Akhmatovich.
