The leader of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is known for his relationships with young girls. Officially, he has a wife and 12 children. Unofficially, he has at least two wives and numerous mistresses. "In 2006, 14-year-old Fatima Khazuyeva became his concubine. A year later, at the age of 15, she gave birth to his first child."

Officially, the 47-year-old Kadyrov is married to the approximately 45-year-old (the exact date of birth of the woman is not known) Medni Musaevna. Their wedding took place in 1996. Since then, Medni has not appeared publicly. Their marriage has produced twelve children, including two adopted ones.

Unofficially, Ramzan Kadyrov is said to have married at least one more time. His second wife is Fatima Khazuyeva. He met her when she was just 14 years old at a beauty contest, where she took second place. At the age of 15, Khazuyeva is said to have given birth to his first child.

Reports indicate that the leader of Chechnya has had multiple sexual relationships with girls much younger than himself, including minors – he prefers virgins, schoolgirls, or first-year students – according to the Nexta Agency on the platform X.

Kadyrov and the rounding up of girls on the streets of Grozny

Journalists from the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) have traced that the leader of Chechnya has at least a dozen concubines in his "harem." He has a preference for teenage girls.

When Ramzan first became head of the republic, girls were rounded up for him on the streets, he took their virginity, and since then they have lived with the stigma of being former concubines – according to the Nexta Agency on the platform X.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg of reports that periodically come out from Chechnya. Several girls are said to have given birth to his children.

In 2006, 14-year-old Fatima Khazuyeva became his concubine. A year later, at the age of 15, she gave birth to her first child. In 2008, 16-year-old Zamira Dzabrailova gave birth to Adam Ramzan – according to the Nexta Agency.

Comply or die

Girls who do not follow Kadyrov's orders often die under unexplained circumstances. Such was the fate of young Zaneta Mukueva, who was shot dead on the street of her hometown in 2003. She was said to be pregnant. The perpetrators of the murder were never found.
