Kadyrov had previously ordered his subordinates to summarily execute Ukrainian POWs.
Authorities believe Chechen couples are divorcing for the sake of social benefits.
The remaining hour of study is now also optional, as it will be part of schools’ extracurricular activities.
Authorities claim this will help protect schools from ‘unfounded’ parental complaints about the quality of education.
The awards were presented to Chechen representatives by Denis Pushilin, the Russian-appointed ‘head of the DPR’.
He was given the medal after a tactical shooting competition in which he did not participate.
