What is Adam Delimkhanov famous for? Vedomosti

State Duma Deputy and Hero of Russia Adam Delimkhanov, whose death in the special operation zone was previously reported by the Ukrainian media, is alive and not even injured. About it told Head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov in his Telegram channel.

“Thanks to everyone who worried! Adam Sultanovich is alive and well and not even injured,” he wrote.

Kadyrov published a photograph in which he, along with Delimkhanov, as well as with the Chairman of the Chechen Parliament Magomed Daudov and the Chechen Minister for National Policy, Foreign Relations, Press and Information Akhmed Dudayev, discuss “the current situation, the redistribution of forces and means of our units.” “While the entire Internet space is buzzing and discussing this delusional fantasy of the Ukronazis, in which they not only killed the Hero of Russia, but also almost 200 of our fighters, my dear brothers and I <...> we continue to work,” the head of Chechnya added.

Kadyrov explained that he initially knew that Delimkhanov was alive, but decided to “add fuel to the fire” and demonstrate how low the Ukrainian media could sink by publishing fake information. In this regard, Kadyrov published the first post in which demanded from Ukrainian intelligence to “provide information on exactly what place and what positions were struck” so that he can find Delimkhanov, with whom he cannot get in touch. According to the head of Chechnya, after this message, “the authors of the fake believed in their own fairy tale.”

The fact that Delimkhanov was wounded was initially reported by the Zvezda TV channel with reference to the press service of the lower house. Later media edited message, changing the source to Duma journalist Madina Shavlokhova. The Telegram channel Baza claims that the State Duma did not give Zvezda official comments on the information about Delimkhanov’s injury. Prior to this, a number of Ukrainian Telegram channels wrote that a convoy with a deputy and 200 fighters was allegedly covered by artillery in the Zaporozhye region.

Later, Vyacheslav Volodin, speaker of the State Duma, managed to talk to Delimkhanov. “We just talked to Adam Delimkhanov. Alive and well. He wishes us good health,” MP Dmitry Kuznetsov quoted Volodin as saying. At the same time, the commander of the Akhmat special forces, Apty Alaudinov, in a conversation with TASS declaredthat the deputy is in Chechnya, and he called the reports of the injury fakes. However, half an hour later, in his Telegram channel, the Akhmat commander jokingly informedthat goes “in the direction of the scene with Adam Delimkhanov.”

Since the spring of 2022, Adam Delimkhanov has been participating in a special operation in Ukraine as a volunteer in the Akhmat battalion. In particular, he supervised operation to take the Azovstal plant. In April last year, he received the title of Hero of Russia. After Mariupol, Severodonetsk, Lisichansk, Popasnaya and other cities came under the control of the Russian Federation, Delimkhanov went on vacation, and already in September he “returned to the front line”, informed Kadyrov.

The day before, June 13, the head of Chechnya declaredthat Delimkhanov met with Belgorod Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov, as well as representatives of the Ministry of Defense and the National Guard. The parties discussed issues of preventing breakthroughs by sabotage and reconnaissance groups (DRGs).

On June 12, Delimkhanov announced that he was with Akhmat in the Maryinsky direction. He stressed that the battalion, together with the Ministry of Defense, is coping with the tasks assigned to them.

Delimkhanov was born on September 25, 1969. He is a member of United Russia. In the State Duma of the VIII convocation, Delimkhanov was elected First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Security and Anti-Corruption. The politician also holds the post of adviser to Ramzan Kadyrov on general issues. Before becoming a deputy, he worked in the government of Chechnya. In April 2022, the president signed a decree awarding Delimkhanov the title of Hero of Russia for “courage and heroism shown during a special operation on the territory of the DPR, LPR and Ukraine. In addition, the deputy was awarded the Order of Courage three times, and also has the Order of Akhmat Kadyrov. In 2022, the presentation of the book of the deputy “Akhmat-Khadzhi Kadyrov and the revival of statehood in Chechnya at the beginning of the 21st century” took place. After the start of the special operation against Delimkhanov, a number of countries imposed sanctions. Delimkhanov was also a deputy of the State Duma of the 5th, 6th and 7th convocations.

At the beginning of June, Delimkhanov answered to the founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin to criticize Akhmat, offering to resolve the issue “face to face”, and urged him to stop “talking, shouting, yelling.” The reason was Prigozhin’s statement that the special forces have no task of freeing the DPR. The founder of Wagner explained that Akhmat will deal with “certain areas in which they will operate.” After that, Alaudinov asked Prigozhin to “leave the Akhmat special forces alone” and urged them to maintain a “fraternal attitude” to each other, and “not to try to point fingers.”

In February 2022, Delimkhanov also became famous for his harsh statements against the family of the former judge of the Supreme Court (SC) of Chechnya, Saidi Yangulbaev. The deputy published a video on his page on the social network, where he promised the Yangulbaevs to persecute them until their heads were cut off. He also threatened with reprisal those who would translate his words from Chechen into Russian. Deputy Shamsail Saraliyev declaredThese words should not be taken literally.
