The Rabbis established the Kadish prayer for a reason {?}
Since the Rabbi of Apta was the chief rabbi and rebbe of his generation he naturally recited the Kadish. His children then adopted the custom.

About the Research Institute
Late Hasidism was perceived and presented in research as a movement of institutionalization and entrenchment that lost the initial Hasidic renaissance, and even degenerated. Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
