Paragraph 1
The Russian
of Chechnya has made a
about music speed. Chechnya has banned songs that are too
or too slow. It said: "From now on, all
, vocal and [dance] works should correspond to a
of between 80 to 116 beats per minute." Eighty
per minute is much slower than a lot of modern-day
music. However, the Russian national
is played at 76 beats per minute. There has been no
about whether the anthem can be played. It seems likely it will be an
to the new rule.
