Adam Kadyrov responded to critics with a serial monologue set to music by Mutsuraev.

Amid the ongoing discussion about his car accident in Grozny, Ramzan Kadyrov's third son, Adam, posted a story on his Instagram* account featuring a monologue from the series "Game of Thrones" and music by Chechen bard Timur Mutsuraev.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot," the motorcade of Ramzan Kadyrov's third son, Adam Kadyrov, was involved in a car accident in Grozny. Adam Kadyrov and his entourage were injured, sources claim. Against this backdrop, on January 16, official media published a refutation of the reports about the death of UFC champion Khamzat Chimaev in the accident. On January 17, Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov published a report on a meeting chaired by his son Adam, and also announced that Adam Kadyrov had been awarded an award for ensuring the safety of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant. The video was recorded a day before the alleged accident, journalists discovered. For six days, Chechen authorities neither confirmed nor denied reports of an accident involving Adam Kadyrov, nor did they officially announce his condition.

On the afternoon of January 22, Adam Kadyrov posted two stories—temporary publications available only for 24 hours—on his Instagram page*. The first story is a photograph of Adam Kadyrov with his close friend Aslan Zhulagov, in which Kadyrov poses with a pistol. The photo was taken no later than November 24, 2025, the same day Zhulagov himself posted the same photo on his account.

Seven hours after the first post, Adam Kadyrov posted a second story, which appears to be addressed to his critics. In the video, he himself, wearing a leather jacket and cowboy hat, is seated at a table at a public event, with other people visible behind him. The recording is overlaid with a monologue by Game of Thrones character Eddard Stark.

"You think my life is so precious to me, that I'd sacrifice my honor for a few years. You grew up among actors and learned their craft well. I grew up among warriors, and I learned to die long ago," the monologue goes.

The monologue is accompanied by a recognizable guitar solo from a composition by Chechen bard Timur Mutsuraev. This is the introduction to the song "They Are Gone," also known as "Memory Gallery" and "Shahids on Judgment Day." The composition is listed on the Federal List of Extremist Materials under number 3193, and residents of the North Caucasus have been repeatedly fined for distributing it on social media.

"Caucasian Knot" reported that in the summer of 2023, Olga Zinkina, a resident of Vladikavkaz, was fined for publishing Mutsuraev's song "They Left" on her VKontakte page. In November 2022, Chechnya resident Khalimat Eskieva received a fine for publishing a video clip of this song.
