Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

~~I gotta be honest, I'm thinking it's fake news akin to "Kim Jong Un Haircut Law". I can't find any non-english sources about it. I can't find the article TASS reportedly posted about it either. I can't find Dadayev speaking about it anywhere but in these english articles.~~

It should be noted that I am completely shit at doing this kind of digging and I do not speak any slavic language nor do I read kyrilic, so me not finding things doesn't mean a lot

edit: it's legit

It seems to be legit actually, I found this article by gazeta.ru, which Wikipedia classifies as Russian state-controlled media claiming the same thing. In the article is this quote:

This was reported by the Grozny-Inform portal with reference to the Minister of Culture of Chechnya Musa Dadaev.

If someone here actually speaks Russian feel free to correct me though.

Grozny-Inform link

First quotation:

“Today, under the leadership of Musa Dadaev, an extended meeting was held with the leaders of creative state and municipal groups of the Chechen Republic, during which he announced the final decision, agreed with the Head of the Chechen Republic Ramzan Akhmatovich Kadyrov, that from now on all musical, vocal and choreographic works must correspond to a tempo of 80 to 116 beats per minute,” said the Ministry of Culture of the Chechen Republic.

I think this is going to apply to theaters, musicians, etc.

So is this a flat ban or a "stop booking robot noises at the national theatre" ban?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

After the quote there's "huge work is ongoing on the question of Chechen musical, choreographical and other works matching Chechen mentality and musical rhytm", so it is probably the latter.
