    I live in Switzerland and I work with a chechnyan young man. I can only say he is incredibly respectful and humble, always ready to help, and i have never heard him talking bad about anyone or anything. He is the best in my team. I have a massive respect for chechnyas. I don't share their costume and traditions, but I do certainly respect them.

    I love Chechen people. I met a family who bought the house next to us in Ohio, USA. They will literally gift you anything in their home. They have the best furniture and clothes and traditions and food. They are the nicest people and that worries me because here in America ppl take advantage of generous people. The man owns his own construction company and has so many kids and is so humble.

      The only connection I knew was Chechnian war, ridiculously!
      While the practices seem sharply at odds with the freedoms I am familiar; the underlying principles in this society are a curious mix that would normally be seen in a closed community, like the Amish, Mormons, or even some extreme fundamentalist Jewish sectors. There feels little if any covetousness, of more liberal societies. In Chechnia, people live alongside other communities, it would appear, whilst sheltering their own. There is a deep honesty revealed here, though it goes so far, as to raise concerns about what exactly happens, when marital difficulties, do arise?
      Nonetheless, beautiful!

    The reason that the bride's relatives aren't at the wedding actually stems from the old tradition where the groom's family would come pick up the bride at her home and bring her to their home. From that day on she 'belongs' to the family of her husband. And the bride's family would be sad that she left, which is why they weren't in a celebratory mood, since they 'lost' a daughter. So they would stay home and cry. Whereas the groom's family would be very happy because they just got their 'new daughter'. So they would throw a party and celebrate.

      Eli you were very kind at the start of the video when asking the gentleman if these questions you found in the tour book were accurate. As a female you had to be biting your tongue when 50% of the population is still subjugated like modern slaves. The women cannot speak up as they would be ostracized or killed if they speak against their state imposed religion. This is NOT tradition it is modern slavery in a different form. So strange as Islam was once a great religion 800-1200 a.d. and dominated science as Christian Europe burned non-believers at the stake. In 1250 a.d. when Islam started killing scientists and burning books (like Christianity did earlier) and turned inward to their religion they have been on a downward path for over 700 years. Name one thing Islam has given the world in the last 700 years and i will sit here and listen...i feel so sorry for the women and sure the men are very happy.

I once visited a country which is an archenemy for us. I was afraid of their army/police or violent reaction from public, but was taken aback by common people's hospitality. Learned that we all are pitched against each other for stupid political reasons (sometimes religious reasons in case of few islamic nations).

    Waoo, beautiful people, beautiful culture, beautiful religion and beautiful traditions. Im a muslim from Pakistan. As Eli said that it maybe hard for you to understand Chechens, but as a Muslim it isn’t hard for me to understand their customs, traditions and culture. These things are in our religion and these people are following religion at its best. A lot of love and respect to my Chechens brothers and sisters from Pakistan 🇵🇰

      Some of the traditions here must be from Chechnya only. Or do you not have the girl's family at the wedding too? They celebrate at different times with girl's family and after.the wedding. Is that the same in India and Pakistan too?

      Correct, I believe he was making a connection.for some of the tenets which among Muslim nations tends to be similar such as respect for elders, humbleness, honor and few to none public display of affection.
      But surely it cannot be all the same as Chechnya has its own cultural norms and evolutionary branch that obviously differs from South Asia in some aspect.
      Neighboring countries can share norms sure, like the Arabian peninsula or East Asia, but over wide gaps with several many nations in between, not so much.

      I'm from the west, there is no stigma nor hate towards russians from my side. they got fucked up by their fucked up government like me. I can't do shit against it nor can they. why in the world would I stigmatize a normal human being just because he was born at a certain place which also gave birth to some corrupt politicians. for all I know they get born everywhere. show me a country without them and I'm moving there asap

    Thank you for showing us this part of the world, Eli. So brave of you to go there! Life can certainly be different in different countries. The people in the Chechen Republic seem to be very happy with their culture. They certainly have some beautiful buildings and nice clothing and attractive men and women. Do you happen to know anyone who chose to leave this culture because they did not agree with it? That was so kind of you to point out that this culture is not bad but rather simply different, and that they have a code of honor which I think could benefit other cultures. By the way, Eli, you looked very cute in that pink hijab and dress. I was hoping you could show us the entire outfit.

      Why should one be brave to go there? Chechnya is the most safe region of Russia nowadays. People are very welcoming. As far as there are no borders between regions in Russia, every Chechen is free to live in any other part of Russia, so not surprisingly many Chechen people live outside Chechnya. Some of them inevitably become more assimilated in other regions mindset. But in common Chechens are proud of their culture and they have strong family bonds. They do not need a crazy American sort of democracy. They do not accept pervert values, and i guess they never will. I'm not sure if it is safe for perverts traveling there. No one would be surprised if that pervert silently disappears. If you don't like it - it's your problems. It's their culture, it is their land, it is their rules. And as long as Chechnya is a part of Russia - it's nuclearly defended from any sort of western 'democratization' like it was in Libya, Syria, Afganistan, Iraq etc.
