Kadyrov is the “primariest” source imaginable, since he basically runs Chechnya. If he says it’s for Chechen music only, that’s how it’s going to be. Seems like it was misinterpreted by Russian press first, and then uncritically picked up by the Western media.

Then again, the probable real conclusion here is: if you're on Kadyrov's bad side, better to never be in proximity to both boom boxes and high windows. (for our US readers: Kadyrov is what Erik Prince wishes he were)

What about Chechnya banning music at specific BPMs as a sarcastic reply (intentional or not) to the US banning social media under specific ownership?
