The coat of arms of Russia without crosses was used at the medal ceremony in honor of the 25th anniversary of the formation of OMON "Akhmat - Grozny" to the son of the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov and the head of his security department, 17—year-old Adam Kadyrov.
In the video posted on the telegram channel to the head of Chechnya, the coat of arms without crosses hangs on the wall behind the recipient's back.
The fact that crosses were removed from the coat of arms was noticed by users of social networks.
Earlier, State Duma deputy Mikhail Matveev stated that images of Orthodox churches without crosses indicate that Russia is "beginning to bend under the Islamic factor." This, according to him, is also evidenced by the increased construction of mosques in the country. According to Lenta. ru, against this background, the parliamentarian also predicted a major religious conflict in Russia after SMO graduation. As EADaily reported, after that Ramzan Kadyrov said that it was better to "turn out" Matveev than Muslims. Matveyev had to apologize.
A similar case previously occurred with the crosses on St. Basil's Cathedral. They were erased from the cathedral, which was depicted on a poster for an exhibition in The United Arab Emirates. In Russia, they called the erased crosses an ugly story — Moscow City Duma deputy Andrei Medvedev called it the worst manifestation of the Western liberal "agenda". Subsequently, the crosses were returned to the image of the temple.
In 2023, 15-year-old Adam Kadyrov beat Nikita Zhuravel, who was in custody in a pre-trial detention center in Grozny, who burned the Koran. He was not punished for beating a prisoner, but received a series of republican awards, awards from the heads of other regions and Muslim associations for "protecting Islamic values."
Adam Kadyrov has been heading the Security Service of the head of Chechnya since November 2023. He entered the Russian Book of Records as the youngest head of the security service of the head of the subject of Russia, in February he was awarded an indefinite certificate of a member of the Arab Arbitration Court and the medal "Guest of Honor of Libya". In March, he was awarded the departmental medal of the Rosgvardiya "For military distinction".
