Chi-square law from a transformed power-law variable

The probability density function of a random variable XX is given by

f(x)={αxα−1,0<x<1, 0,otherwise,α>0.f(x)=\begin{cases}\alpha x^{\alpha-1}, & 0<x<1,\ 0, & \text{otherwise,}\end{cases}\quad\alpha>0.

Then the distribution of the random variable Y=log⁡eX−2αY=\log_eX^{-2\alpha} is
