      I never knew there were more Avars than the ones who scourged Europe. The ones who went west never converted from paganism and were the very definition of _Avar-ice_. Did Islam bring the Dagestan Avars more virtue than their cousins?

      I don’t think it was necessary they were fighting Christianity they were fighting Russias attempt to christianize orthodox Gregorian to be exact there were Albanian Christian’s in Karabakh and what people don’t realize is Russia had there own Christian crusades where Russia Greece Slovakia and Armenians were attacking Arab villages in Turkey that ended up there from the caliphate . See there use to be Muslim Greeks but they were all exterminated and there was Christian’s in Azerbaijan but they were not orthodox . They were Turkish Christian’s the Albanians . They moved the Albanians out of Karabakh and moved Armenians and gave them Albanians churches moved the Albanians to Turkey . Georgia didn’t join the crusade plus they lived among there neighbors fine don’t believe me look up Armenian and Georgian war in 1918 they tried to take Tbilisi from Georgia why do you ask because of the same reason Armenians believed they should have Karabakh because they put numbered them . They didn’t win the only reason Azerbaijan has patients is because Armenians cry wolf saying they weee a part of the genocide as well they were t they fought Armenians but that’s because they always attacked villages killing Azeris . Look at how many minorities are in Armenia and look at how many minorities in Azerbaijan. How are you going to be in ten different places at once they never had that huge of a population .

      Reminds me of a Timur Mutsuraev song called "Paradise Under the Shadow of Sabers".
      >The river flows down in a frenzied torrent.
      And eagles, watching for something, are circling in the sky.
      There, on the edge of the forest, they see
      The columns of the enemy's Russian soldiers.
      Noise of engines, throngs of tanks,
      On the road, coming towards us,
      Coming towards us:
      Paradise under the shadow of sabers.
      You're in the holy war - you're a Muslim.
      Let us stand together in solid wall, Against the enemy.
      For some it will be their last stand, It's their destiny.
      What happened here at that time,
      I can't tell you now
      O Allah! To the whole world the cry of Allahu Akbar!
      And the names of the Chechens who went away are heard,
      For ever:
      Paradise under the shadow of sabers.
      You're in a holy war - you're a Muslim.
      And not a few more black days, enemies all around.
      But in Allah, our faith grows strong in our bosom.
      Let death come to us in battle.
      Well, everyone will die someday,
      But then what's in store for us?
      Paradise, eternal paradise will be given,
      Insha Allah!

    Thank you Hikma for another excellent documentary. I'm Irish and I spent three weeks in Dagestan about 11 years ago. I noticed that the locals drank more alcohol than even my people, which is saying something. I found them friendly and inquisitive, but nothing like the Arabs in the Middle East where I spent 7 years. I'm not saying that the had no interest in Islam, but I didn't witness many observing the five pillars and the Masjids were relatively empty. They are very moderate, especially the younger ones, and I even came across mixed marriage between Muslim and Orthodox couples. The Dagestanies were more interested in tribal unity and family than Islam. Not all of course as there were practising Muslims there but it certainly wasn't the most important thing for the people. I went and visited some ancient Christian churches dating to the 9th century and the locals protected them because respect for their ancestors meant everything to them. Never went to Chechnya as the locals told me that they were more religious and anti western even though it was the Dagestanies that introduced Islam to the Chechans. God bless

    However, I tested up to 4% North Caucasian DNA. Particularly of the Circassian and Ossetian people. Does anyone know how a Mexican could end up with this blood? Does it come from the Iranic Alans? I know they settled in Spain…

      @@ThatHabsburgMapGuy I have.
      The only way this survives is if my Spanish ancestors reproduced with other Spaniards who had this DNA therefore reinforcing it. For example, my North African survived; I’ve traced lineages back to Andalusia. I had Converso ancestors who went through the inquisition and I descend from a conquistador who was half Jewish. I had ancestral Jewish uncles who were burned in Auto De Fe’s on the Canary Islands…
      However, my Jewish ancestry didn’t make it. As time went on, My conquistador Great Grandfather’s descendants ended up reproducing with non Jewish Spaniards, therefore diluting and washing out the DNA over the centuries. It is possible to not inherit any DNA from ancestors so long as they don’t reproduce with others that have it. I believe you inherit up to 10 generations back.
      For example, I also have 2% North African. Many Mexicans have this heritage from the Spaniards and their mixes. So long that a Mexican reproduced with another Mexican that has that blood, it gets “reinforced”. So for example my 2% could be reinforced if I reproduce with a Mexican woman or Latina woman who has North African.
      My Spanish and Native American DNA has remained strong, steady and consistent since the 1500s. Meaning the Hispanics that were reproducing throughout those years were predominantly Spaniard/Native American

After a tough battle against the Russians, the Russians had captured Baysangur and had received the death penalty. Russians obliged residents of Dagestan to push away the chair he was standing on during the death sentence. But because Baysangur wanted peace between 2 Caucasian peoples (Chechens and Dagestans) he had pushed the chair away from himself and committed a great sin as a believer (suicide).

    See you in 1839, Shamil fled to the Chechens with one fellow traveler. He fled precisely to Boysangur. It was under the proteges of Boysangur and Jobi-Solta-Murad and with the consent of the spiritual leader of Chechnya Tashov-Khadzhi Sayasansky (Kumyk by nationality), at the Chechen Mekhk-Kkhelle (parliament), Shamil was elected Imam of Chechnya. From time immemorial, the Chechens had a strict tradition of not choosing rulers from among themselves, in order to prevent the advantage of one clan over another.
    Shamil’s first decree, oddly enough, was directed specifically against the Dagestanis. The decree read: if a Dagestani is not on the path of Gazavat, then his property is halal for the belligerents.
    After the brilliant victories won by the Chechens over the colonialists, Avaria joined Chechnya. As always happens with Caucasians, successes turned Shamil’s head. Having forgotten his previous grievances, Shamil began to surround himself with naibs from among the Dagestanis. The Chechens, who were the main donor in the Caucasian War, were ripening alienation in Shamil’s policy. The last patience came when Shamil announced at the Majalis that his son would become his successor. After this, Shamil’s power began to rapidly melt away. Shamil vainly appealed to the Chechens to continue Gazavat, but the Chechens no longer heard him.
    The Chechens gave Shamil the opportunity to leave in peace. Having entrusted the defense of Vedeno to the Andians and Avars, Shamil, plunging all his property (books and jewelry) under the silent gaze of the Chechens, freely left for Dagestan. Vedeno was taken by the first attack; only 2 soldiers were killed among the Russians. Not finding the slightest support in Dagestan, he moved further and further. Every day his naibs fled to the Russians and they already acted as guides for the Russians in the pursuit of Shamil. The Chechens silently allowed Shamil to leave in peace. The Dagestanis not only did not help him at this difficult moment, but, on the contrary, robbed his caravan that was carrying treasures, despite the fact that the Chechens let him through unhindered

      IMAM SHAMIL fought for 24 years and 10 months. His sister, so that her body would not be touched by the Russians, threw herself off a cliff and died. He gave one of his sons to the Russians to save his soldiers; after many years he returned and died in Dagestan. Dozens of Avar villages in Dagestan were burned for their obscurity. Another son, after the end of the war in Dagestan, moved to Turkey and became the head of the Dagestan regiment in Turkey. Truly, this is a legendary person. May Allah forgive his sins.

    IMAM SHAMIL fought for 24 years and 10 months. His sister, so that her body would not be touched by the Russians, threw herself off a cliff and died. He gave one of his sons to the Russians to save his soldiers; after many years he returned and died in Dagestan. Dozens of Avar villages in Dagestan were burned for their obscurity. Another son, after the end of the war in Dagestan, moved to Turkey and became the head of the Dagestan regiment in Turkey. Truly, this is a legendary person. May Allah forgive his sins.

    I wrote my thesis on the Caucasian War, namely the war in the North-Eastern Caucasus. And the most interesting thing is the constant metamorphosis of the perception of the Caucasian war. What is the strangest, most objective of all, Russian society perceived Shamil in tsarist times, at the end of the 19th century, without taking into account the class component. And the Marxists saw the Caucasian War most correctly. They clearly saw that in addition to the struggle of the feudal lords, the clergy and the Russian military administration, there was a huge class movement of the peasantry.

      Baysangur's zeal and courage was noted by Imam Shamil in the diary of his bailiff Colonel A. I. Runovsky:[7]
      After a good dinner, when the younger members of the imam's large family left the dining room, the eldest of Shamil's sons, Gazi-Muhammad, who had recently returned from Temir-Khan-Shura, began to tell the latest news from the Caucasus. At the end of the conversation, Gazi-Muhammad mentioned a small episode related to the indomitable Chechen naib Baysangur from Benoi, who, even after the surrender of Imam Shamil, did not stop resistance and did not lay down his arms, continuing the fight along with his other brothers in arms, now former Chechen naibs of Shamil - Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev.
      Adjutant wing Colonel Chertkov sent negotiators on behalf of the Russian command to Baysangur with a proposal to surrender, - said Gazi-Muhammad. Baysangur met the negotiators in the woods near the old cemetery. In response to a tempting offer to save his life, the one-eyed, one-armed and one-legged sixty-six-year-old warrior pointed to the nearest graves in the cemetery and said with a grin: "Talk to them about your case - they will hear you better than me."
      Shamil, who was attentively listening to his son's story, said thoughtfully: "Yes, this is such a person, I know him well, he would never change his word ..." For a moment, the former imam thought he heard the howling of wolves from the very depths of the dense Chechen forests. And as if shaking off this obsession, he resolutely added: "But, however, he wants nothing more than to die fighting against the infidels."

    It’s too often overlooked that Russia not only was every bit as much a European colonial empire as Britain, France, Spain and so forth, but unlike those empires, it never really decolonized. The breakup of the Soviet Union was a partial decolonization, but most of Russia’s empire has remained intact, as has its colonialist, chauvinist mentality. That’s why Putin called the USSR collapse “the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the 20th century” and is now waging a war to try and reconquer Ukraine.

    You claimed at 00:40 "Even though the Tsar's forces had defeated the traditional powers of the area..." in reference to the Caucuses...
    At 00:01:20 you stated the Dagestanis and Chechnyans "United to deal with an aggressive, outside power." You could have said the same of Christan Dagestanis in the 12th century against the Ottomon invasion of Russia.
    Islam was by no means a "traditional" faith of Slavic/Baltic Russia, or, as with Dagestan, any culture between the Baltic and Caspian Seas.
    Remember, you don't want to promote revisionist history. The "traditional" faiths in the Biblical sense, was Orthodox Christianity, spreading through Armenia and the neighboring Caucuses in the middle 4th century after the rise of Constantine the Great (or far earlier).
    Granted, these culture followed polytheistic models and Zoroastrianism before Christian conversion, which, unlike Islam, was not dine through war, rather, through missionary work. Hence why the Orthodox Church has so many martyrs.
    When the Romanovs took their turn, as butchers, in their colonial minds, they were expelling an anti Christian effect that dated roughly to the 12th century.
    The tsars sought to reverse continued jihadist colonialization - which had initially failed in Armenia, Yugoslavia, and most of Russia, but succeeded in smaller "states" such as Albania, Dagestan, Uzbek, etc., regions previously Christian from thec1st century AD.
    A modern version of this design was under Slobodan Milosovich - and ended in a Christian version of the same genocide that Russia first experienced from Islam in the 12th century (two evils do not make one good act, of course).
    Remember outside of references to Ishmaelites and Hagar, the rise of the armies of Islam and their Fatwa/World Jihad, wasn't until the 7th century.
    Anyway, I enjoy the channel, but even as a Muslim, you might want to term your narrative to history, or it won't be taken seriously.
    Also, Anericans tend to get very confused with history, so your fans are probably like me, history fanatics, Orthodox, or Islamic learners.

    What is important to understand about the Caucasus and why the Russian Empire conquered South Asia. These people constantly stole Russian people and sold them into slavery. Therefore, the capture of these territories was essential for security and stopping the capture of Russians into slavery. Well, then when it was already captured. The empire simply had to expand and there were plans to capture Persia, Afghanistan in order to reach India and have a trade route to the Indian Ocean. But in the end, the Russian Empire was destroyed during the First World War and we did not see these seizures. Who knows what history would have been like if Russia had somehow survived the First World War. The worst thing about empires is that the emperor will send you to wars in different parts of the world just to capture a new land and so that the emperor and his friends become richer when you, like an ordinary Russian, British, French, just die on some godforsaken land. I hope that Putin's empire will end and the Russians will be able to do more attractive and kinder things than trying to seize territories.

    Obviously, this channel is false! Because not in the 18th century, but in the 16th century, (during the beginning of the Islamization of the Caucasus) after Ivan IV's marriage to the Princess of Kabarda, the daughter of Prince Kabarda, Russian Cossacks were sent from Tsar Ivan to Prince Kabarda to help Kabarda resist the expansion of the Ottomans and Persia into the Caucasus. So the Russians began to build their first military settlements in the Caucasus in the 16th century (not in the 18th century). So, the lie of this video in the false Anglo-Saxon formulation of the wars in the Caucasus, which are called here the Russian Caucasian wars, but which were actually the Russian-Turkish and Russian-Persian wars.

    Didn't Putin basically commit a RIDICULOUSLY well known and transparent false flag bombing on the Chechnyan folk? I seem to be remembering something along these lines.
    Im not being deliberately obtuse, im just honestly tired AF and this isn't my specific wheelhouse as a 15W Drone Op, but I have every reason to believe he absolutely did order it, for multiple reasons.
    1. He had communicated at MANY different points in time over long periods that he wanted a reunited USSR. It's his raison d'etre, after all.
    2. He is former FSB, and was reputedly and ON RECORD as being extremely ruthless and willing to cross ANY line in order to achieve his goal. In other words, the ends always justified the means for him.
    3. His entire modus operandi aligns perfectly with this sort of subterfuge (false flags/"dirty" war tactics). Again, FSB and "the ends always justify the means" as a driving feature of his personality.
    4. He had nothing to lose and quite literally everything to gain, given the time period, its extremely unlikely that he would have ever even been outed or exposed for the disgusting fucking decision to bomb that place, but anyone in the intel community, amateur or not, would know that. It's part and parcel of being in the FSB in the first place. e.g. "Wetworks" or "Shadow Ops". They do not get exposed to the public eye or court of public opinion, especially given how easily stifled any whistleblower can be, made MUCH worse by the fact this happened in Russia.

      The Slavs, at first, raided Rome, robbed it, terrified it, but then they began to fight on its side (on the side of the Byzantine empire) and actively bargain, as a result of which the first Slavic states appeared.
      The Russians themselves constantly experienced raids from the south (before the invasion of the Mongols). These were the Pechenegs, and then the Polovtsians. Naturally, in the future it was necessary to pursue a policy aimed at reducing these cases: either destroy them or take over. The second option was chosen.

    U.B. also reports about the closeness of the Ingush and Ossetians. Dalgat: “Friendly Ossetians also lived on the land of the Dzherakhites. This closeness with the Ossetians and constant relations with Georgia, undoubtedly, were the reason for the Ingush to borrow many customs and culture of Georgians and Ossetians” (68, p. 15). about the Ossetian influence on the Ingush language was also pointed out by A.N. Genko (237, pp. 171-172).
    The influence of the Ossetians on the Ingush, in particular the Dzherakhites, was so deep and comprehensive that written sources of the first half of the 19th century sometimes directly classified the latter as an “Ossetian tribe” (111, p. 22). It is a well-known fact that Ingush and Ossetians live together in the Dzheirakh Gorge. “So, no later than the 90s of the 18th century, representatives of the Ossetian family of the Slonovs (Dudarovs) settled in the Dzheirakh GorgeThe Ossetian Gushaevs had relatives in the Ingush village of Furtuog (there was a strong tradition of marriage between the Ingush village of Furtuog and the Ossetian Chmi). According to legend, the Ingush surnames of the Khamatkhanovs and Tsurovs originate from the Ossetians of the village of Tmenikau in the Dargavsky Gorge. In 1816, in the lower reaches of the Armkhi there were five settlements, in which there were 37 households and 185 residents descended from Ossetians" (48, p. 145)
    Ossetian origin of Ingush surnames: Plievs, Kaloevs, Gagievs, Gaitovs, Gardanovs, Tsurovs, Khamatkhanovs, Khutievs, Tseloevs, Dudarovs, Yandievs, Almazovs, etc.

    About the Georgian origin of the Malsagov surname. This is what A.I. writes about this. Shavkhelishvili: “As for the Malsagovs living in Ingushetia, who, according to Ingush legend, are the founders of “Dzaug” (on the site of the modern city of Ordzhonikidze), then they represent a branch of the Georgian surname Marsagishvili. The same can be said about the Evloevs and Evkurovs” (231, p. 34).
    But “in Ingushetia there are not only individual surnames of Georgian origin, but also entire villages. for example, village residents are considered to be natives of Khevsureti. Shuana in the Dzherakhov Gorge” (138, p. 34). I. Dakhkilgov considers such Ingush surnames as Evloevs, Kortoevs, Malsagovs and Kushtovs to be of Georgian origin (71, p. 117).
    The Ingush have surnames with Kabardian, Dagestan, Kalmyk, Nogai and even Russian roots.
    The Khairovs, Bazalaevs, Antsadoevs, Agasievs, Avarovs, Shundalievs, Muradovs, Khakievs, Ramazanovs are of Dagestan origin.
    “Some of the Felkhans and Arzins still call themselves Shau-Khals and consider themselves descendants of Shamkhal who came from Dagestan” (67, p. 64).

    A significant part of Ingush surnames are of Chechen origin. So, for example, “it is known that such fairly large Ingush families as the Akhrievs, Lyanovs and Borovs come from the Chechen family of the Dyshnians” (54, p56), “The Dartsygovs, Buzurtanovs (Nasyr-Kortovskys) and Khautievs - from the Terlois” (136, p. 23). And such Ingush surnames as the Akhilgovs, Tsitskievs and Dzhambulatovs come from Benoy (218).
    according to old-timers, the ancestor of the Ponughoi people (as the inhabitants of Pyaling call themselves) - Chanin Khuchbar moved from the ancient Terloi village of Nikara (A. Suleymanov “Toponymy of Checheno-Ingushetia”, part 2, p. 77).
    In addition, “the surname Muzhu-Khoevs is also of Terloev origin. As for the Malsagovs and Heroevs, there is a legend about their Malkhist origin. The Malkhistians still call the heroes Giri-neki” (195, p. 387).

    For guardians of blood purity this will be valuable information:
    If you familiarize yourself with Ingush traditions and legends, as well as a collection of Ingush teips and surnames compiled by Shukri Dakhkilgov, you will find that our people are quite confused with other nations.
    the largest teip in Ingushetia is Evloi. The Evloevs are considered to come from the Khevsureti of Georgia (the Khevsurs are a mountain tribe that have been at war with the G1alg1ii and Fyappians (Chechens) for centuries). Although some historians consider the Khevsurs to be a mixture of Kartvels and Ingush.
    The Bekbuzarovs (Khevsurs who joined Khamkhoy) came to Ingushetia not long ago in the 19th century.
    Khautiyevs (Khevsurs)
    There is information that Shoankhoy also comes from Khevsureti.
    The Malsagovs (Beni) are considered Georgians by origin. The Georgians who drove their herds through Ingushetia stayed with the Malsagovs in Gamurzievo and were considered brothers.
    The Khashagulnovs (Kurkievs) are of Adyge origin. Adyge Khash fraternized with Albokhch and now they are considered Leyma. We also find in Dakhkilgov’s collection that the Mutsolgovs (Leimoys) are not of Ingush origin.
    Ozdoy, Tumkhoy, Chinkhoy, Chopikashvili are brothers and trace their origins to Mago, who comes from India and Sham. Sham is the homeland of the Semites.
    Salgoi said that their ancestors came from Arabia.
    The Kozyrevs, Tkhostovs and Gaitovs are natives of Ossetia, ossified Ossetians Ingush.
    The Akbievs (Kalimatovs, Mukhievs, Khalmurzievs) come from Kabarda. We joined Kokurkhoy.
    According to legend, the ancestor of the Barkinkovs (Barkunsky Kant) was an assistant to the conqueror Tamerlane and was of Turkic origin.
    Akhrievs, Lyanovs and Borovs Chechens are considered to be from the Dishni teip.
    In Dakhkilgov's collection you will find many surnames that are not of Ingush origin.

With muskets and just old canons, it was not that difficult to get into close combat range and tear them apart.

    Heee.. Show some respect to the history of a the brave nation of Circassia.
    Concurring Caucasus by Russians started and took place mainly in Circassia, it was also called Russian-Circassian war which lasted for 101 years, and between 80-97% of this brave nation were massacred
    The photos used in this video even are 90% literally Circassian photos.

    It would be good if people around the world -- especially in African, Asian and American ex-colonies -- learnt more about that brutal European empire they support. Muscovy is the only remaining European (well, sort of) empire and it has held on to most of its conquests. It has lost its most recent European conquests (those from 1939-1945) and seem to be losing many of its 19th-century conquests. Or so it is to be hoped.

      What country anywhere on earth doesn’t have a brutal history? The European powers have just been most successful. With that being said I am no supporter of colonialism we need to take care of our homelands and we people who have been incessantly sent to die across the globe for the prestige of the wealthy and to plunder resources to keep them wealthy.
