Polygamy in Chechnya?

The President of Chechnya has once again made a public statement in favor of polygamy, saying that he himself has already begun searching for a second wife. A leader of the Russian opposition has also come out in favor of polygamy for Russian Muslims, rhetorically asking those opposed to it, "Why [not] - it's a tradition!" (To which refrains of "tradition, tradition..." broke out thunderously across the land ;-).) More here.

New Church in Chechnya

The Chechen government is okaying the construction of a church in Naurskaya to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Naura District. The district is roughly half Russian Orthodox and half Chechen Muslim. More here.
