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 .
Im Malaysian, i really hate and never like Russia, they did to Circassian is very brutal, million died, if not today Circassian will be like Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan or at least like Chechnya, Dagestan and Kabardino-Balkarian Republic with majority 80%-99% native muslim. today most of Circassian in Anatolia Turkey, Palestine, Israel, Syria and Jordan, included in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Today Circassian = Krasnodar Krai and Adyghe. 6 Million world wide Circassian population most of them in Anatolia Turkey. Russia should allowed rigth to return and recreated Circassian land today Karsnodar and Adyghe.
I am a Native American and I love watching content on the Caucus tribes as their struggle was similar to ours, Shamil surely would have been good friends with Crazy Horse, warriors to the end.
Thank you for your work! Waiting for the second part! Circassians fought Russian for 101 years, longest war in Russia's history, ended in the genocide of my people and the exile of 95% of population.
@Afghan lion[Leader of KHORASANISM] don't you have anything better to do in your sad life?

Even in our age Shamil continues to fascinate the West , where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality . Shamil was undoubtedly a great man .
im gonna hope it isnt fascination based in Orientalism, but, im gonna guess, at least some of it is. im gonna guess "Caucasian" and "The Caucuses" as concepts do bring a lot of baggage with them, makes the region and the people very fascinating
What are you claiming with this statement? " ...Shamil continues to fascinate the West, where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality." Shamil is mostly unknown in the West. You're throwing shade, not sure who you are throwing shade at.
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
@عبيرعبير-ج5ذ sad, they will start following that pedophile warlord who married a six year old little girl and had sex with her when she was nine and he was 54
As a Chechen, I'll tell you that it's half true. There is no anti-Western, we are rather anti-Russian, because we had as many as 2 bloody wars with the Russians in the recent past and they also staged genocide against us several times. And we are religious just for these reasons described above
For those who are unaware there is an amazing book about the Rebellion of Imam Shamill called “The Sabers of Paradise”. Many more are unaware that Frank Herbert’s major inspiration for the Fremen in Dune was the Chechen and Caucasian tribes. Borrowing many loan words from the book and even some whole phrases! Both are favorites of mine to read.
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!

@@joksimradovic4040 i know about Miloradovich by the way he played big role in the surpressing Senate square uprising, he was wounded to death there if i am not wrong.
When Shamil had given up, Baysangur of Benoa continued to fight until his capture. 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). A very prominent, fierce and fearless figure of that period.
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.
you are a real liar. in the book of Imam Shamil’s personal scribe, Muhammad Tahir Al Karahi, there are essays from those times. You don’t see a log in your own eye, but you notice a speck in someone else’s eye
i have chechen friend , he told me a lot , he said that real hero is Putin and Ramzan Kadyrov , and Shamil is traitor because chechnya wanted to be part if russia and Shamil didnt let them
15 % of my Ancestry is North Caucasus (Georgian,Circassian,Chechen, Dagestani and I learned about the History of these brave warriors through Russian Literature. I’m not Muslim, but I still feel a sense of pride in having some of the same blood as these Tribesman.
I am Mexican American. The majority of my background is a genuine product of the mixture between Spaniards and Native Americans… (55% Spaniard/40% Native American). 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… Any info is appreciated!
@@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
It probably comes from a similar ancestor back when we were hunter gatherers. Let’s not forget the people crossing the Bering Strait from Siberia to inhabit north and South America
@@bobstencil9888 I am a Native American that accepts the Bering Straight Theory. And it’s not even about accepting, it’s about understanding. Siberia is our Great Grandmother.
Thank you for this. I am Japanese, German, Chinese, Italian and Russian (my grandpa is Chechen but I say Russian because nobody knows what Chechen is). He was Muslim. I don’t know anything about Chechens and growing up here in Southern California my grandpa’s friends were Middle Eastern or Russian Muslims who unfortunately didn’t teach me anything. Now as a 32-year-old adult I’m teaching myself.
You're right..its a western propaganda..for political reasons the west always denied Imam Mansour's Chechen roots..they don't want a great hero like him who united the Caucuses nations under the right banner to be mentioned anywhere..they even claim he's Italian not Chechen 😏

That was a well made documentary with an great story of heroic leaders. What was the Tolstoy novel you refer to but only show the title in Russian. Is this one of the untranslated works?
I am a geneticist and one thing I find extremely curious is chechens resemble more closer to french and germans then russians or turks ...... Shave the beards and you cant tell the difference between germans or french ..... Blows my mind. Then you get into the DNA and it's even crazier!!!!
@@Balkanovic10 I know right 👍 buuuuut religion has no racial relation strictly speaking from a scientific outlook..... Being white and Muslim in a world of Christians make Chechens the odd ball of the family. For example there are Japanese Muslims not many but you get the idea. If you are Chechen and look German this would only go to show how evident genetic migration is in human history. If you look at the caucuses you see a smorgasbord the different genetic tracers that you find in other European DNA ...
when circassians, ingush, chechens, lezgins and laks become unified, they will reclaim their territories and free themselves from their shackles but as long as they are divided, no freedom will be possible

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.
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.
Break up of ussr was a decoration by Moscow. In reality Moscow continue controlling this countries with marionettes by soviet style, include Ukraine. Naive west believe Russia become normal country but it was naive and stupid
Clown, the laws were the same like in other pars of russia! And yes, russian territories were attaced, the people were enslaverde and murdered in the name of islam!
During Shamil's surrender, his Chechen commanders Baysangur from Benoi, Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev along with their respective units refused to surrender, broke through & escaped the Russian encirclement & raised a new uprising in Chechnya. In June of the same year Baysangur's men defeated the Russian Ossetian Muslim Major-General Musa Kundukhov in combat near the town Fachu. Atabi Atayev's rebels thwarted attempts to strengthen the forces of Russian commander Nikolay Yevdokimov, and Duyev's forces freed the villages of the Argun Gorge from Russian control. The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies. Eventually they were crushed in Benoi.
@@Halid175 It's not a lie & it's very well documented and a generally acknowledged fact that Shaamil gave up, while his Chechen units still continued to fight and broke the Encirclement Cope you fanboy
@@Halid175 Chechens first were reasonable & realistic & went for a peaceful integration into the Russian empire, knowing that they could not win in the Long run But then Those radical Avar Imam's with their wild ambitions of an Islamic state ruined it for the Chechens by convincing them with religious speeches & exploiting them & their warriors for their own ambitions // Those Imams were literally carried By Chechen warriors, Because they found no support from their own Avar population at first, On top that, Chechnya was on the fore front of Russia's Imperial destruction, it's the Chechen people that suffered the most from this war, But When eventually it came to a point where the Avar population was about to receive the Russian answer, What did Imam Shaamil do ??? HE SURRENDERED Didn't mind waging a Jihad at the cost of Chechen lives, But when his own people were at risk, he simply threw in the white flag and became part of the Russian empire This is why you should never trust religious preachers, they are just gonna exploit you and then sell you out the moment their own skin is at risk as a matter of fact the remaining Chechen units, Murids & Naibs that had aided Shaamil still continued to fight the Russians after Shaamils Surrender, That's how weak hearted Shaamil is, He didn't go all the way, He was selfish & just like those other Imams before him the Chechens should've just ignored them and left them to fend on their own instead of being at their vanguard
@@Halid175 On May 8, 1860, Baysangur and former naibs of Shamil Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev raised a new uprising in Chechnya.

The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies. 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." - Andrey Zakharovich Runovskiy, Diary of Colonel Runovsky
@@Halid175 That was Shaamil's own fault for exploiting the Chechens and using scorch earth tactics on their territory and letting them bare the brunt of the Russian destruction He exploited the very people that were crucial to the establishment of his Imamate to begin with and when their numbers started to lower and defect to the Russian side, his imamate fell apart & when his own people were at risk, he surrendered While Baysangur did not and Fought on

@@ambatucoom not nationalism just facts. all the major battles and victories were in chechnya, most of the fighters were chechen. muslims nowadays throwing around the word "nationalism" like its nothing.
@@user-fw4uh7ob2s there are archival documents, namely the data that was transmitted by one of the first Chechen naibs of the defectors, Chechen Yusup Haji Safarov, where it is indicated that the Avars made up more than 70% of the soldiers of the Imamat, from 24 Avar regions, and Chechens were about 29% from 9 regions. and the largest number of battles also took place in Dagestan, only 4 major battles in Chechnya are known.
Very educational indeed. Is there any other part witch tells us about the Ottoman and Persian conquests in this area? Or it is only about the Russian colonialism ? Just asking
there did you get your sources? what pagan chechens are you talking about?! chechens being muslims were on the edge of fighting with russian before dagestanian imams under sheikh Ushurma Mansour! imam Mansour united all caucases people in 18 century
they fought them 1 to 1000 for over 100 years, and even won on many occasions. if it hadn't been for the help the europeans gave the russians during the last 2 chechen wars, chechnya could have been free today. it's not like the dagestanians, indefectible allies of the russians.

And today Chechens are helping secure Russia’s most vulnerable border against the influence of a hostile military alliance. Got to love how things change throughout history. Russia was Chechnya’s worst enemy
I mean that is often the Case when conquered people are under foreign rulership for more generations. Just look at the Cossacks, They were once also the most revolting group withing the Russian sphere but then at one point the turn it all around and basicly became the force that crushed every other revolt against the Czar. Same thing with the Hungarians within Austria-Hungaria, in exchange for some privilliges for their people they formed very loyal military groups, not every generation wants to sacrifice everyone and everything in revolts instead they usually aspire for a better live within the new system at some point.
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. If your country has many land borders with others, then it is better to find a way to reconcile or suppress.
@@denniseggert211 they're no longer Cossacks. They consider themselves Cossacks, but they are not Cossacks. The real modern Cossacks are the so-called "thieves in law" (they are the cultural heirs of Arianism and Cossack life), but they are already a little different from what they used to be.
@@denniseggert211 it hasn't been generations for Chechens. It's been 1 max. They sold out within a generation as Shamil Basayev and Dudayev were sold out by Kadyrov.
Dear God, please give me strength not to jump out the window when I read so many comments from idiots who say that Dagestan is Russia and the Dagestanis are happy that they were occupied by Russians.
Im happy the fundemental islamist terrorists are being oppressed, though I suppose when they are independant they elect authoritarians that oppress the people like the rest of the islamic world so I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Its how it goes, they were weak they were absorbed. Its what happened all over. You think the US was the US? Some poor fools had to be killed for it to become the US. Russia is no different. Heck my own country is no different, our history is full of wars of conquest. WE exist today coz someone united us..... by force :)
Brother story of Imamate started not from Gazi Muhammad it started from Sheikh Mansur and with Shamil Imamate ended. So you are telling history of late Imamate
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.
Bro you haven’t seen shit and are cherry picking… Putin said “who ever was happy about the collapse of the Soviet Union, has no heart; and whoever wants to recreate the USSR has no brain”
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.
Nothing like that. This is an eternal lie and just an excuse for Muscovites to attack their neighbors. Until now, their hosts inspires them that the whole world is hostile and plots against them. For example, the fact that little Ukraine is preparing an attack. Muscovites are the worst of people. As soon as they open their mouths, they are already lying. Don't believe a word they say. Russia is a cancerous tumor on the body of the earth.

There is an Iranian ethnic group in the Caucasus the Alans/Irons the direct descendants of the Scythians and Sarmatians/Asi of Eastern Europe who influenced the Caucasian tribes in the past. Too Bad the Alans/Irons or Ossetians today are a tiny Russian republic with less then 1 million population.
@Rus_and_NATO_Slayermostly the Chechens actually and the Salafist in Dagestan. The vast majority have not and in fact fought along side Russia. 5000 dagestanis does not represent 3.1 million Dagestanis
@Rus_and_NATO_Slayer they represent the vast majority. Independence movements exist nearly every where in the world but you don’t see Russians making videos on the independence of Puerto Rico
In the Caucasus War, the Chechens made up the majority of Chamil's warriors, started fighting the Russians long before Chamil and continued to fight even after Chamil and the Dagestanis had betrayed the Chechens. Their cooperation with the Russians throughout Russia's history has enabled them to expand their territories. When the Bolsheviks revolted, the Dagestanis immediately joined the Russian forces, but the Chechens fought them. when deported, they gladly took the Chechen territories without regret. Even during the last two wars, the Dagestanis can be seen helping the Russian army by giving them food and wishing them luck. the majority of uprisings took place in dagestan? HA! Don't spread your fairy tales about unicorns and Dagestani resistance.
@卐 طالبان زنده باد 卐 [Leader of KHORASANISM] " Insurgency in North Caucasus mostly happening in Dagestan" I copied and pasted it what does it mean to you? as far as i understand it, it means that the people who fought the most against the russians in the caucasus ocupation forces were the dagestanis when it's not true (they were a minority during the caucasus war and all the movements and revolts since then have been from what was left of the tchetchene territory) If what you said was true, it would have been the Dagestani, not the Chechens, who were deported.
Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453. Any one can look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea. It's pretty underrated in this video. Mithridates VI, who proved to be as formidable a foe to Rome as Hannibal. Mithridates VI, [ Rome's deadliest enemy ]. He has been called the greatest ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus. He cultivated an immunity to poisons by regularly ingesting sub-lethal doses; this practice, now called mithridatism, is named after him. After his death, he became known as Mithridates the Great. There were Greek settlements in the Black Sea, there are about 70 to 90 colonies. King Mithridates spoke over 20 Languages collected great libraries knowledge art and technology. King Mithridates also wrote books will known as the Poison king. King Mithridates may have designed the first computer called Antikythera mechanism. One of King Mithridates wife's was an Amazonian woman who rode into battle on horseback and many Romans met their fate by her sword, indeed. Known to have killed off the Roman general Manious acquiesce by pouring molten gold down his throat mimicked years later with others.
the dude literally did the same thing to napoleon and he didnt think about it thirty years later? like, dude literally fell for his own trap in that sense. military brilliance on imam's part
Before Russia people of Caucasus suffered from invasion by Turkic invaders starting from Timur and until shah nadir. They invaded and attacked every region, exterminating villages and expending slave trade. All of them was forced to islamize at the edge of the sword. Small groups of kabardins preserved Christian religion up until days.
Furthermore, all these abuses by proselytizing invaders kept local population lucked out from further progress and kept them practically on medieval levels of development. They became sources for slave soldiers or beautiful girls for the overseas warlords which was more humiliating for highlanders than any other form of oppression
@Soldier_of_the_companions you live under the rock in some bizarre mesmerized world. Get your head out of your a.. and read. What I sad maybe not flattering for your world view but it is historical facts
Absolutely false. If you knew any thing about Islam you would know that it is forbidden to compel anyone into Islam. Its a western trope that has been debunked many times over but i don’t think youve done your homework. Better luck next time.
Even Shamil was feared by the Russians, for he stood up. Sadly, the Ottoman Empire betrayed him in the end and thus he was forced to give up the struggle.
Russia never conquered Chechnya just occupied! Chechens never stoped to seek independence even after active war was over rebellions never stoped for example at the time germany attacked ussr in 1941 another large scale rebellion was going on in Chechnya and all mountain districts there not under control of moscow even after chechens there totally exiled to kazakhstan rebellions in 1944 and came back in 1957 there were individuals fighting alone or in small groups last of them was killed in 1976 at age 74 years he was fighting from 1939 till his last day!
Avars, the ancient people who conquered this region. Though as usual marred by the Crusader's myopia, the book Sabres of paradise by Lesley Blanch is a good work on Imam Shamyl.

Yeah sure. Prevailed in a way where they lost all their battles despite outnumbering their enemies 10 to 1 eventually winning wars because their enemies run out manpower something russians never lacked as they breed and fight like the bugs they are.
@@rayian536 it was not even the manpower. It was mainly the european weopons. Artillery guns with fast loading mechanism and Rifles gave them the oportunity to play in their numbers games. With muskets and just old canons, it was not that difficult to get into close combat range and tear them apart.

I'd like for you to look up why the "aggressive foreign power" went into the area. You'll find it was not sheer aggression, but a response to slave raids and calls from regional allies.
@@prime6862😂do not pay attention. These are tales of Russian Nazis. when you ask them about these raids they cannot name them. they talk about raids by Caucasians on Russians, but upon detailed study it turns out that the territories on which the attacks were carried out were the former lands of the Caucasians, captured by Tsarist Russia. that is, these were attacks with the aim of recapturing their lands 😂😂😂
When Shamil was captured, he was shown a map of Russia. After that he said, that if only he knew he was fighting with such a huge country with such amount of nationalities, he would never have fought with Russia. After than, in his letters, he asked Dagestanis to live peacefully with Russia. For some people, Shamil is a symbol of courageousness, but for some of them he is a symbol of peace with Russia
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.

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 .

Even in our age Shamil continues to fascinate the West , where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality . Shamil was undoubtedly a great man .
im gonna hope it isnt fascination based in Orientalism, but, im gonna guess, at least some of it is. im gonna guess "Caucasian" and "The Caucuses" as concepts do bring a lot of baggage with them, makes the region and the people very fascinating
What are you claiming with this statement? " ...Shamil continues to fascinate the West, where sentimentalized biographies of the great warrior are read no matter what their quality." Shamil is mostly unknown in the West. You're throwing shade, not sure who you are throwing shade at.

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
It's chanhed to more Islamic!!
@عبيرعبير-ج5ذ sad, they will start following that pedophile warlord who married a six year old little girl and had sex with her when she was nine and he was 54
As a Chechen, I'll tell you that it's half true. There is no anti-Western, we are rather anti-Russian, because we had as many as 2 bloody wars with the Russians in the recent past and they also staged genocide against us several times. And we are religious just for these reasons described above
For those who are unaware there is an amazing book about the Rebellion of Imam Shamill called “The Sabers of Paradise”. Many more are unaware that Frank Herbert’s major inspiration for the Fremen in Dune was the Chechen and Caucasian tribes. Borrowing many loan words from the book and even some whole phrases! Both are favorites of mine to read.
crazy... didnt know thank you
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!

When Shamil had given up, Baysangur of Benoa continued to fight until his capture. 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). A very prominent, fierce and fearless figure of that period.

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.
you are a real liar. in the book of Imam Shamil’s personal scribe, Muhammad Tahir Al Karahi, there are essays from those times. You don’t see a log in your own eye, but you notice a speck in someone else’s eye

15 % of my Ancestry is North Caucasus (Georgian,Circassian,Chechen, Dagestani and I learned about the History of these brave warriors through Russian Literature. I’m not Muslim, but I still feel a sense of pride in having some of the same blood as these Tribesman.
I am Mexican American. The majority of my background is a genuine product of the mixture between Spaniards and Native Americans… (55% Spaniard/40% Native American).
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…
Any info is appreciated!
4% seems high for an early medieval migration. Sounds like you need to do more ancestry research.
@@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
It probably comes from a similar ancestor back when we were hunter gatherers. Let’s not forget the people crossing the Bering Strait from Siberia to inhabit north and South America

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.
I have said it many times the Chechens, Dagestanies etc are Lions. They have fought fiercely against absolutely overwhelming odds.

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.
The conquistadors of the Nordic Russian people were the tanned Mediterraneans ( tatars) and also Asians ( Genghis khan)
Likewise, the US hasn't yet decolonised and has persued a foreign policy of world hegemony / unipolarity.
Break up of ussr was a decoration by Moscow. In reality Moscow continue controlling this countries with marionettes by soviet style, include Ukraine. Naive west believe Russia become normal country but it was naive and stupid
Clown, the laws were the same like in other pars of russia! And yes, russian territories were attaced, the people were enslaverde and murdered in the name of islam!

During Shamil's surrender, his Chechen commanders Baysangur from Benoi, Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev along with their respective units refused to surrender, broke through & escaped the Russian encirclement & raised a new uprising in Chechnya. In June of the same year Baysangur's men defeated the Russian Ossetian Muslim Major-General Musa Kundukhov in combat near the town Fachu. Atabi Atayev's rebels thwarted attempts to strengthen the forces of Russian commander Nikolay Yevdokimov, and Duyev's forces freed the villages of the Argun Gorge from Russian control. The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies.
Eventually they were crushed in Benoi.
@@Halid175 It's not a lie & it's very well documented and a generally acknowledged fact that Shaamil gave up, while his Chechen units still continued to fight and broke the Encirclement

@@Halid175 Chechens first were reasonable & realistic & went for a peaceful integration into the Russian empire, knowing that they could not win in the Long run But then Those radical Avar Imam's with their wild ambitions of an Islamic state ruined it for the Chechens by convincing them with religious speeches & exploiting them & their warriors for their own ambitions // Those Imams were literally carried By Chechen warriors, Because they found no support from their own Avar population at first, On top that, Chechnya was on the fore front of Russia's Imperial destruction, it's the Chechen people that suffered the most from this war,
But When eventually it came to a point where the Avar population was about to receive the Russian answer, What did Imam Shaamil do ??? HE SURRENDERED
Didn't mind waging a Jihad at the cost of Chechen lives, But when his own people were at risk, he simply threw in the white flag and became part of the Russian empire
This is why you should never trust religious preachers, they are just gonna exploit you and then sell you out the moment their own skin is at risk
as a matter of fact the remaining Chechen units, Murids & Naibs that had aided Shaamil still continued to fight the Russians after Shaamils Surrender, That's how weak hearted Shaamil is, He didn't go all the way, He was selfish & just like those other Imams before him
the Chechens should've just ignored them and left them to fend on their own instead of being at their vanguard
@@Halid175 On May 8, 1860, Baysangur and former naibs of Shamil Uma Duyev and Atabi Atayev raised a new uprising in Chechnya. In June of the same year Baysangur's men defeated the Russian Ossetian Muslim Major-General Musa Kundukhov in combat near the town Fachu. Atabi Atayev's rebels thwarted attempts to strengthen the forces of Russian commander Nikolay Yevdokimov, and Duyev's forcesfreed the villages of the Argun Gorge from Russian control. The total strength of the rebel forces at that time reached 1,500. In November, they fought against eight hundred cossacks, 9 infantry battalions, and four rifle companies.
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."
- Andrey Zakharovich Runovskiy, Diary of Colonel Runovsky
@@Halid175 That was Shaamil's own fault for exploiting the Chechens and using scorch earth tactics on their territory and letting them bare the brunt of the Russian destruction
He exploited the very people that were crucial to the establishment of his Imamate to begin with and when their numbers started to lower and defect to the Russian side, his imamate fell apart & when his own people were at risk, he surrendered While Baysangur did not and Fought on

And about the letter for "chechen pagans' ....
It creates a feeling in the viewer that Chechens was pagans at times imam Shamil which is totally wrong
And today Chechens are helping secure Russia’s most vulnerable border against the influence of a hostile military alliance. Got to love how things change throughout history. Russia was Chechnya’s worst enemy
Chechens sold out their independence during the Second Chechen War.
I mean that is often the Case when conquered people are under foreign rulership for more generations. Just look at the Cossacks, They were once also the most revolting group withing the Russian sphere but then at one point the turn it all around and basicly became the force that crushed every other revolt against the Czar. Same thing with the Hungarians within Austria-Hungaria, in exchange for some privilliges for their people they formed very loyal military groups, not every generation wants to sacrifice everyone and everything in revolts instead they usually aspire for a better live within the new system at some point.
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.
If your country has many land borders with others, then it is better to find a way to reconcile or suppress.
@@denniseggert211 they're no longer Cossacks. They consider themselves Cossacks, but they are not Cossacks. The real modern Cossacks are the so-called "thieves in law" (they are the cultural heirs of Arianism and Cossack life), but they are already a little different from what they used to be.
@@denniseggert211 it hasn't been generations for Chechens. It's been 1 max. They sold out within a generation as Shamil Basayev and Dudayev were sold out by Kadyrov.

Dear God, please give me strength not to jump out the window when I read so many comments from idiots who say that Dagestan is Russia and the Dagestanis are happy that they were occupied by Russians.

Brother story of Imamate started not from Gazi Muhammad it started from Sheikh Mansur and with Shamil Imamate ended. So you are telling history of late Imamate

Tolstoy writes well about beneficent Russian expansion into Muslim Caucasus.
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.

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.
Nothing like that. This is an eternal lie and just an excuse for Muscovites to attack their neighbors. Until now, their hosts inspires them that the whole world is hostile and plots against them. For example, the fact that little Ukraine is preparing an attack. Muscovites are the worst of people. As soon as they open their mouths, they are already lying.

Where is Iran in this story?
Check out my video on ‘How Iran Lost The Caucusus’, that acts a prelude to this conflict.
There is an Iranian ethnic group in the Caucasus the Alans/Irons the direct descendants of the Scythians and Sarmatians/Asi of Eastern Europe who influenced the Caucasian tribes in the past. Too Bad the Alans/Irons or Ossetians today are a tiny Russian republic with less then 1 million population.
Freedom for Dagestan and everyone suffering under the Muscovite boot.
@Rus_and_NATO_Slayermostly the Chechens actually and the Salafist in Dagestan. The vast majority have not and in fact fought along side Russia. 5000 dagestanis does not represent 3.1 million Dagestanis
@Rus_and_NATO_Slayer they represent the vast majority. Independence movements exist nearly every where in the world but you don’t see Russians making videos on the independence of Puerto Rico
In the Caucasus War, the Chechens made up the majority of Chamil's warriors, started fighting the Russians long before Chamil and continued to fight even after Chamil and the Dagestanis had betrayed the Chechens.
Their cooperation with the Russians throughout Russia's history has enabled them to expand their territories.
When the Bolsheviks revolted, the Dagestanis immediately joined the Russian forces, but the Chechens fought them.
when deported, they gladly took the Chechen territories without regret.
Even during the last two wars, the Dagestanis can be seen helping the Russian army by giving them food and wishing them luck.
the majority of uprisings took place in dagestan? HA!

If what you said was true, it would have been the Dagestani, not the Chechens, who were deported.
Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453.
Any one can look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea. It's pretty underrated in this video.
Mithridates VI, who proved to be as formidable a foe to Rome as Hannibal. Mithridates VI, [ Rome's deadliest enemy ].
He has been called the greatest ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus. He cultivated an immunity to poisons by regularly ingesting sub-lethal doses; this practice, now called mithridatism, is named after him. After his death, he became known as Mithridates the Great.
There were Greek settlements in the Black Sea, there are about 70 to 90 colonies.
King Mithridates spoke over 20 Languages collected great libraries knowledge art and technology. King Mithridates also wrote books will known as the Poison king.
King Mithridates may have designed the first computer called Antikythera mechanism. One of King Mithridates wife's was an Amazonian woman who rode into battle on horseback and many Romans met their fate by her sword, indeed. Known to have killed off the Roman general Manious acquiesce by pouring molten gold down his throat mimicked years later with others.

Before Russia people of Caucasus suffered from invasion by Turkic invaders starting from Timur and until shah nadir. They invaded and attacked every region, exterminating villages and expending slave trade. All of them was forced to islamize at the edge of the sword. Small groups of kabardins preserved Christian religion up until days.
Furthermore, all these abuses by proselytizing invaders kept local population lucked out from further progress and kept them practically on medieval levels of development. They became sources for slave soldiers or beautiful girls for the overseas warlords which was more humiliating for highlanders than any other form of oppression

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.
