Instagram* blocks page of Ramzan Kadyrov's son

The administration of the Instagram* has blocked the page of Adam Kadyrov, the son of the head of Chechnya, who had beaten up Nikita Zhuravel, a Volgograd resident, at the SIZO (pre-trial prison); the page was blocked for violating the rules of the social network.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that on September 25, Ramzan Kadyrov posted a video of his son beating at the SIZO Nikita Zhuravel, who was arrested in the case of burning the Koran. The head of Chechnya praised his son for this act; a number of human rights defenders spoke negatively about this.

After the page was blocked, Adam Kadyrov created a new page, in which he reported that the previous one was blocked for violating the Instagram* rules. Earlier, Adam posted photos in his page, in which he is holding two submachine guns in his hands. Most commentators expressed support for him.

Let us remind you that Akhmet Yarlykapov, an Orientalist, and Ruslan Kutaev, an expert on the Caucasus, have noted that beating a defenseless person is contrary to Chechen customs.
