Madina, a teacher from one of the Grozny schools, has confirmed there was an instruction that girls should wear kerchiefs.

"The girls who came in traditional national dresses did not feel any inconvenience, since such dresses were accompanied by large kerchiefs. Meanwhile, the girls who were dressed like princesses were a bit upset, since they had to give up festive hairstyles and diadems," the teacher said.

She has also noted that during the morning performances, many girls still wore no kerchiefs.
