Two residents of Chechnya were fined for publishing a song by an artist who supported the independence of the republic

The Shatoisky District Court in Chechnya brought local residents Beslan Yusupov and Iles Paykhaev to administrative responsibility for disseminating the work of the Chechen bard Timur Mutsuraev. They made publicly available the composition “12 thousand Mujahideen,” which had previously been recognized as extremist material in the Russian Federation.

Both men were given the mildest punishment under the article - a fine of 1 thousand rubles.

Timur Mutsuraev has become popular since the first Russian-Chechen war. Initially, he sang songs in Russian about war, brotherhood, duty and fallen comrades. Later, texts of a religious nature were added to the theme. The list of “extremist” songs includes about 30 of the bard’s more than 100 compositions.
