Dikalu Muzakayev is a New Minister of Culture of Chechnya

President of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov has just signed a decree appointing Dikalu Muzakayev, an artistic director of the Vainakh dance ensemble, a new minister of Culture of Chechnya. The other Presidential decree relieves Movlu Asmayev of the position at the republican ministry of culture. Movlu Asmayev has been in the office since the year 2000. Vainakh was organized in 1939 as a Chechen-Ingush dance ensemble. It is no exaggeration to state that it has performed with great success practically all over the world. It is gratifying that at the beginning of the 21st century the ensemble continues its activity. Also, it has won a great number of international prizes as the unique folk ensemble. The world-renowned Chechen dancer Makhmud Esambayev began his career at the Vainakh ensemble. Dikalu Muzakayev was born in 1960 in Kazakhstan. He graduated from a choreography faculty of the Republican college of culture, became a dancer of the Vainakh ensemble and then was appointed its ballet-master.

14 March 2007  An aerial bomb has been found near the capital Grozny
An aerial bomb has been found on a residential plot of land near the capital Grozny, police in Russia's troubled North Caucasus republic said Wednesday. Measures are being taken to defuse it. Although the last war in Chechnya officially ended in 2001, periodic bombings and clashes between gunmen and police still disrupt the republic's relative calm, with the violence often spilling over into adjacent regions. Following the killing of Chechnya's number one terrorist, Shamil Basayev, Russian authorities announced a partial amnesty July 15 for militants who were not involved in major atrocities. Officials say more than 600 militants have surrendered since then, mainly in Chechnya. RIA Novosti
