Chechnya's New Restrictions On Women's Fashion Are About Control, Not Tradition, Critics Say
November 23, 2025 09:09 CET
By RFE/RL's North Caucasus Service
 

Summary
Chechnya has banned women's clothing with "masculine elements," citing tradition, but critics argue it is about control.

The ban follows hot on the heels of another recent restriction banning women from going outside without a head scarf.

Observers link these measures to political control under strongman Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov's regime, with critics calling for more focus on women's rights instead.

Chechnya has introduced a new ban for women's fashion that prohibits traditional clothing featuring "masculine elements." While this isn't the first time the Russian republic's authorities have imposed restrictions on women's appearance, observers say the rationale behind the latest rules is about control –- not tradition, as claimed.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

Why aren't democrats howling and screaming about women's rights being abused and telling them not to obey illegal human rights laws? *look*

Control? Tradition? Where's the contradiction? In Islam there's a tradition of keeping tight control on women.
