Good afternoon everyone, this is the topic we are going to discuss today. In Chechen Republic , there really are no orphanages in the usual sense.
No, ChechnyaThere used to be children's homes - especially in the difficult post-war 2000s. However, all orphanages in the republic were closed in 2007. The last orphanage was solemnly closed by Ramzan Akhmetovich Kadyrov, who had just become the head of the Motherland Republic.

Now there is only one social distributor of children in the region, and for some reason there is no parental care.
There are also specialized boarding schools in Chechnya. Due to extremely poor health conditions, these children cannot survive at home without continuous medical care .
Chechnya also has boarding schools for children from remote mountainous areas - where they are sent to attend school. For extremely rare cases - when the child has no relatives at all (children of non-Chechen nationality).
Youths aged 15-16 who have lost their parents can also attend these boarding schools. Since they are almost adults, they simply refuse to go to other families, even close ones.
Why is there not a single orphanage in the entire Russian Federation?
In fact, the existence of the orphanage runs counter to Nohch tradition. In Chechen there was never even such a concept - "child shelter". It has always been a great shame in Chechnya to send your children to some kind of orphanage. Chechen mothers have no knowledge of cases of child abandonment.
Chechens have always accepted that if a child suddenly loses his parents, according to adat (custom), the remaining relatives will raise him. Usually an uncle or aunt on the father's side. And Chechens never lack relatives—even fourth cousins here consider themselves relatives.
It was considered particularly honorable when a parentless child was taken away by the father's relatives. They retained his father's name and patronymic. The child thus knows who his real father is.
Chechen families during the Soviet period
After the war, there were of course orphans in Chechnya. includes other peoples from the republic. However, back in the mid-2000s, all Chechen orphans were sorted by their relatives.
Therefore, in 2006, Ramzan Kadyrov himself, then the Prime Minister of the Chechen Republic, brought the Russian boy Viktor Piganov back to his family from the Gudmes orphanage.
The boy lost his parents, converted to Islam in the new house, and received a new name - Visit (Stay!) Kadyrov. True, due to the small age difference between KRA and Visita (30 and 14 years), the boy was adopted by the mother of Ramzan Akhmatovich Aimani. Vesta thus became the brother of the Chechen leader.

Now Vesta has grown up for a long time, he graduated from the Suvorov Military Academy. He successfully served as deputy head of Rospotrebnadzor in Chechnya.
An unforgettable incident occurred a few years ago - little Mohammed, the son of a Chechen and his Russian wife, ended up in an orphanage in the Murmansk region. His parents are missing in middle . As soon as his Chechen grandparents discovered the boy, they immediately proved the family ties and brought him to Chechnya.
