In one of the weirder cultural laws I've ever heard of, the
government of Chechnya (which is a region of Russia, not a separate
country) has legislated that the tempo of all music played in the
country must be in the range of 80 to 116 beats per minute.

Adam Neely points out why this is decidedly "problematic":

Yeah, I remember hearing about this back a few weeks. As I recall even
the national anthem doesn't fit with this new standard.

That's one of the first points Neely makes: both the Chechen anthem and
the Russian anthem are outside the speeds allowed -
as is the music playing on the Chechen website that explains the rules!
