Putin wants government to "take charge" of rap music
Russian President Vladimir Putin has asked the government to "take charge" of rap music after a number of concerts were cancelled across the country.
Efforts to ban rap were "impossible" and so the state should play a greater role in controlling it, he said.
The Ministry of Culture would find the best way to "navigate" youth concerts, he added.
His comments come after Russian rapper Husky was arrested after several of his concerts were cancelled.
In December, authorities in the southern city of Krasnodar called off his planned performance for "extremism".
