BPM is a matter of opinion unless it is printed on sheet music, just the same as key. I can declare the BPM to be half (for 4/4) or twice what you think it is. This sounds unenforceable, and rightly too.
Basically, it's a roundabout way to ban all music that isn't traditional Lezginka style [0].<p>The Minister himself points that out [1].<p>While Chechnya is technically under Russian rule, in action it's basically a suzerain dictatorship under the son of a former rebel leader who defected to the Russians, but was given massive leeway and autonomy. And this is clearly an additional de-Russification method.<p>Turkey uses it as a pressure point on Russia as well [2], as a large portion of Turkey's population can trace their origins to refugees from the Russian Invasion of the Caucasus from the 1820s-1920s (eg. Erdogan's family), and even the Russian government recognizes it. Most of the infra there was built by Turkish companies closely tied to Erdogan (eg.

you mock, but someone much smarter than you or me had this to say:<p>"Music directly imitates the passions or states of the soul...when one listens to music that imitates a certain passion, he becomes imbued with the same passion; and if over a long time he habitually listens to music that rouses ignoble passions, his whole character will be shaped to an ignoble form."
