    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.

      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!

      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.

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 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.

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).

I have been to St. Petersburg and have several Russian friends here in the USA. We only learn about Russia in our USA schools, but I know of the great sacrifices and triumphs Russia had made in Asia and Europe. I hate what is happening now and hope the beautiful people of Russia do not suffer a long-term worldwide stigma for this war.

      why should they? all I know there is no stigma against american "interventions".
      just india and china together are close to half of the world population. africa is another huge part. do you know what those places have in common? they care about the war in ukraine as much as people of western countries care about the humanitarian crisis in yemen. it's foolish to believe news stations and politicians of western countries speak for the world, they don't even speak for the people of the countries they are from.
      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

Russia stole their country from them, stole their home and murdered/deported many. Chechen people should be free from russian terrorists.

    Another excellent episode from Eli!
    From the west we always look with black glasses and suspicion at Muslim countries and their cultures.
    while we in the west can use our "superior norms and values" as an example of how respectfully those people treat each other there.
    pride, respect and honor is something that many in the west no longer know. that has often given way to arrogance.
    Thanks again for taking us on your meaningful journeys
