Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov signed a decree last week restricting alcohol sales in the predominantly Muslim Russian republic to two hours per day. "The fight against alcoholism is as pressing an issue as the fight against illegal armed groups," said Kadyrov, 32, a former rebel fighter.
The decree bans all sales of alcohol over 15 per cent proof except between 8 and 10am, Kadyrov said. Islamic leaders in the republic have been calling for a total alcohol ban.
