Has everyone forgot the war? Seems like she put down a very weak explanation of the Chechen wars. Are there memorials of the Russians or the Chechens she was speaking of?
@@AlOfNorway they don't need memorials as they pass their family memory from generation to generation but the past is history, the future a mystery, and now is a gift that's why they call it a present.
I lived in Grozny two months later, 5 years after the war, and of course the echo of the war was fresh in my memory when the plane landed at the airport. But my idea of the Chechen people completely turned upside down when we started working and communicating. Honestly, after a day in the circle of Chechens, I felt safer and more comfortable than anywhere else.

How did they treat you as a non-white man?

I'm muslim. Usually, I don't know much about Russian culture. Your channel helps me get to know more Muslim Chechnya. Alhamdullillah. Love Chechnya.
Russian culture? Those occupants must go home from all lands they have invaded. Then maybe their culture will be relevant again.
The only problem in Chechnia is that its population is very small. They need to multiply that is why all the country and the villages seems empty.
Russian culture has nothing to do with Chechnya, there is a Chechen culture.
Basically a totalitarian theocracy.
@@democracyforall they just had two wars with russia that devestated the places
I was there 7 years ago. That was amazing! I love Chechnya!
That’s because you’re male.
Delighted to see Grozny beautifully rebuilt & thriving. Gives us all great optimism for the future of war-torn cities & villages in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, etc. We, the people, will have peace when we are each peaceful in our hearts & lives. We are learning to value life & joy above all else. Thank you for this visit, seeing for yourself what life is like here.
Ukraine, Chechnya, Afganistan, Alepo/ Siria... Everwere diabolic Russian imerialism !
How happy are nations without Russia in neighborhood !
No that won’t happen in the Middle East as the west destroyed and keeps destroying the place. Plus there is no stable government to take over and rebuild any of the regions destroyed by western bombs.
I’m from Georgia and I would love to visit Chechnya ❤

I had the opportunity to meet my fellow Checknians in Mekah and was deeply impressed by their commitment to their faith and traditions. As a child, I remember hearing about the war in the news, and my home country of Somalia also experienced a civil war, which led me to live in another country for 30 years. I appreciate the opportunity to learn and experience the amazing culture of Chechnya. Sending love from Somalia.
Everywhere in Chechnya there is always a beautiful Azan, Masya Allah. I hope someday I can visit Grozny. Love Chechnya from Indonesia
Is hinduism spreading in indonesia...it is very bad n Alarming situation...
Plzz tell
@@deception6666
Don't worry this is all propaganda.
Some is truth most are propaganda.
I request to all our hindu brothers and sisters to worship only one God.
As our Indonesian malasiyan, maldives brother and sisters rejected idol worshipping and accepted Islam.
So that, our motherland India should also achieve peace as peace is established in Indonesia Malaysia Maldives.
And our people should also be able to Enter in God's Paradise..
And be saved by hellfire.
All Indonesian sanatani brother and sisters converted to Islam after finding Islam is truth.
And there were no Islamic invansion in indonesia Malaysia Maldives.
hence, they were not converted by force , they converted to Islam by themselves..
They respect there ancestors but they worship only one true God and follow his last messenger prophet
Mohammed pbuh.
We can be a Muslim and respect our ancestors and read Mahabharata and ramayan as a history.
But today The only true religion of God in the world is Islam.
May be sanatan dharm was true religion of God but it was manipulated by its priests for worldly gain.
And sanatan dharm is now totally corrupted and manipulated.
So the God sent last prophet whose name is prophet Muhammad pbuh.
Prophet Mohammed was the messenger sent by Allah/God to all MANKIND.
And the Book which was revealed upon him is not corrupted till now.
And all his teaching is preserved till now.
So, worship only CREATOR not his creation.
DO THE BHAKTI OF ALLAH ONLY.
@@the_unique.shorts Thanks for the invitation but allah if he at all exists will always be inferior to Ishvara/Bhagavaan
Let us worship the Supreme Most while you can worship what those invading masters of yours prayed to
@@the_unique.shorts what the heck is this? Hindu in Indonesia exist. Nothing wrong. There are even Muslim who converted to Hindu in Indonesia. And there are also Hindu who converted to Islam.
If you're Indonesian and say sth like this, people will file a lawsuit against you.

wow, that change from war-torn city to this status is remarkable
War was Russia' s war as was the invasion of Afghanistan by Russia but noone came to the aid of Chechnyans whereas Ronald reagan backed the afghan resistance against Russia
They defiantly poured the money into the place, most city's of the same size in Russia proper have no were near that kind of investment.
Russians have been steeling their money for centuries,,chechens are left with only 2% of the oil revenue and else resources.
@@amshakey9748 Well, Charlie Wilson was the one who got aid moving for Afghanistan. Pretty much with none of it ever being approved. :)

What a beautiful country with so many natural landscapes and water resources! The urban areas seem so developed with top-of-line infrastructure, roads, and buildings. Thank you for uploading this beautiful video.
there is nothing developed, its just the center of the city built for tourists, and the author of this channel is a ruski subhuman making propaganda

@@barbaraseiler9750 Its cheaper, but taste the same. So dont do that.
A beautiful place, beautiful people and so clean. I wish I could travel to this place in my life. Thanks for sharing and respecting the locals tradition and showing a very positive side of this nation.
I had a similar experience travelling through Central America last year. Even I was a little nervous and I had been to more than 70 countries at that point. We just always hear in the US and Canada that there are constant murders and kidnappings due to the drug war. It was totally fine. I was careful, knew where I was going in advance, didn't go out late at night and stayed in the safest parts of each city. It was actually a great experience and I would highly recommend this beautiful region. So I am not surprised by your experience in Chechnya. I also recognize that my government is way overprotective in terms of the advice it posts. For example, before I went to Montenegro and I had to laugh because the Canadian government travel website warned of celebratory gunfire as a danger. Ridiculous! I had a great time there and never saw a gun once. I think that really you can go almost anywhere in the world and be fine - just do your research in advance. Most people are just trying to live their daily life and the news media really exaggerates most of the time. Lastly, I am currently in Armenia and I actually had people warn me it isn't safe because there are violent protests in Yerevan right now (no, not right now because I have been here for several days and have only met friendly people, no protests - besides, there are protests everywhere from time to time, so what?!) and the war with Azetbaijan is very dangerous (I am hundreds of kilometers from the war zone). THey wouldn't believe me when I told them it was fine - they would rather believe second hand information than first hand experience - it's crazy.
I just can't imagine a place with such beautiful landscapes was subjected to one of the most brutal wars in modern history. Wish the best for the future of Chechens.

Ahhh....yes.......such wonderful, wonderful people..........like Muslims everywhere.............so welcoming, so hospitable, so.....NICE ! Doing what they do because The Quran commands it.

This is very typical with Muslims everywhere in the World............Muslim Men are not allowed to approach, talk with, flirt with or interact with Muslim Women due to their religious / social rules, but obviously Western Women (European Russia is Western in society, culture, religion and always has been since ancient times) who are obviously not Muslim with their hair uncovered and not wearing the black or brown sack are "fair game" for constant sexual approaches by Muslim Male strangers on the street............. Why do you think those two "super nice" girls in that village "insisted" that their "brother" drive Eli back to Grozny........ that is how Muslims "protect" women from other "Muslim Men" in their minds, chaperoning them everywhere by a so-called "trusted" male, usually a relative..............

As for the language and culture - YES. Russia created republics to protect the culture and languages of Russia's ethnic minorities. To be more precise, the USSR was the first to do this, but in those days there were slightly different names and slightly different geography. For example, Chechnya during the Soviet era was called the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and united the territories of modern Chechnya and modern Ingushetia

*If they reject your invitation, then tell them plainly, "Bear witness that we are Muslims (who worship and surrender to Allah alone)."*
Qur'an (3:64)
👉Allah almighty says,
*Your real Deity is but One. He Who is Lord of the earth and the heavens and of all that is between them, and Lord of all Easts.*
Qur'an (37:5)
Once we die our creator will again resurrect us on the Judgment day.And on that day if you have believed in Allah and have followed his book Quran then you will be succeed in the hereafter life.
Hereafter life is the eternal life either in Paradise or hellfire depending upon the good amd bad deeds you did in this world.
👉God Almighty says to the Mankind,
Say(O Prophet),
*“Allah gives you life, then causes you to die, then He will assemble you on the Day of Resurrection about which there is no doubt.”*
Quran (45:26)
Selva...Yes, I remember both, I am not Muslim but that does not matter. It was the same cancer that is destroying us now.
What a wonderful video Eli! Being from the US, for me, you just broke every myth I have ever heard about travel in Chechnya, and thank you so much for doing that! It is actually remarkably beautiful! Safe Travels!
Russia more safe now then Europe. Putin did it
Enjoy the freedom

Love your videos. Thank you so much! Very informative.
wow they are beautiful inside & out really appreciated their discipline,strength & culture ❤from 🇪🇹
I've seen many of your videos but these ones about North Caucasus are really amazing.
Eli, Thank you for such a beautiful presentation on Grozny and Chechnya. I wished I had some friends from there. The azan in the background is very soothing and adds to the presentation. Thank you again.
I'm from there, I can be your friend, I would also like to have friends from different countries.
welcome. we always welcome guests. get ready to write. regards from Chechnya.
Thank you again, Eli for your entertaining and informative video on Grozny Chechnya! I only knew what I read in the news concerning the Chechnya wars with Russia and saw the pictures of Grozny infrastructures after being bombed by Putin. Today, the city and countryside are beautiful. You are very beautiful and I love watching you speak. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for a very insightful video. There are not many videos out there about this place and its culture. Grozny is a surprisingly beautiful city, and the nature in the whole Caucasus region is beautiful.
As we say in North America, you hit this one out of the park, Eli! Thanks for a glimpse of an area most of us will never get to. It is incredible how quickly they've been able to rebuild Grozny after the war devastated it. Some of the architecture is really nice. Thanks again for such great entertainment. You are a wonderful host!
That’s what the federal government of Russia promised them so the insurgency can end,reconstruction,greater autonomy n development funds,I c it as a win win for everybody
Mr.Bald was there..!
It's easy to rebuild when the Russians pay.
@@alpha4662 Russians caused a lot of the destruction so now they pay for it. After the war the Chechens reached some sort of agreement with the Kremlin. Chechens will not challenge the unity of the federation and the Russians will give autonomy and financial support. It will be interesting to see what would happen if the Russians stopped paying.
@@alpha4662 Well, Russia is a federation and the wealth is quite redistributed throughout the country. Most ends up in Moscow, there's no doubt about that. Chechens seem to receive a rather nice sums too.
This was so heart warming. A city that was once destroyed, now looks so peaceful and serene. Russia is definitely one of the places I have to visit, but it's so huge it probably requires a month or two.
Russia is almost the size of Pluto.
@@daksans6764 And slightly less cold
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 Ukraine should give up.
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 According to who, you??? My Ukrainian father can’t wait for Russia to be reunited with motherland. You can keep kissing EU ass, that fully controlled by USA.
@Sanctus Paulus 1962 And the sons of Chechens who fought and died for independence now fight for Russia. Dudayev is rolling over in his grave everyday.
Thank you, Eli, another very informative video….well done.
Awesome! Eli I enjoyed that very much. Thank you.
Thank you for helping to dispel the propaganda about Chechnya. I am sure that as a single woman, you were safer in downtown Grozny than in downtown Los Angeles or New York.
Sure 100%! I know very good USA specially LA and New York!👋
Yeah, because it would dispel the image that they've created for past decades. If you would face them outside that artifical habitat, you would understand everything you need to know.
@@col.barnsby8595 "They have created" brain dead westerner really thinks that the western news gives the real picture of countries
True.
Yes, I've come to many Islam regions in Russia. They're very safe. I feel like because of their religion, they follow it very strictly so there is less crimes. Citizens there are very honest and friendly.
Another special episode Eli. Thank you for letting us be a part of your extraordinary journeys and insights!
Outstanding video which makes me want to go visit Chechnya! Eli you are a charming and eloquent journalist, well done
Very nice . Although you looked a bit tense, you managed to bring us a good image of your visit here.
Thank you,
❤️
Wow, Elie! You've produced another wonderful, professional-looking video, this time of beautiful Chechnya. I really enjoy and love your videos and always look forward to watching upcoming ones! I personally would rate your work a 10 of 10 in excellence. 👏👏♥👍👍
Interesting, thank you. “A not married girl cannot walk alone unless accompanied by man” - not true, many walk alone, there is no such restriction, u were misinformed
Honestly, I don't get why there's always this false narrative that women can't ever be alone in the streets of Chechnya.
Like they say women could get kidnapped and whatever, but if a Chechen man harrasses a girl literally everyone would jump him
Is there any instance of that happening though? "Many" walk alone doesn't seem very convincing.
@احمد خان
Sure you don't care about women's right, that's why Pakistan is dirt poor.
@احمد خان calm down, abdool. I was just asking about something that he said himself. I don't care about your shitty religion, I left it the gutter years ago.
@احمد خان tell me which country who have sharia and prospered without oil or gas?
Awsome video thanks!!!Love all the cultures 👌
Hi Eli, thank you for the info. Appreciate.
Chechnya is a very beautiful place MashAllah🇧🇩🇧🇩
@Thomas He destroyed it and therefore compensated for it! Simple as that
🇧🇩🇧🇩
Thankyou dearly for breaking stereotypes and misconceptions , you have literally single handedly shown the world that we must trust humanity and not those who create negative narratives. Well done to you and your very authentic and articulate reviews , you have a great way of presenting a large amount of information in a very concise and accurate way without being biased. That's a blessing !
She sure didn't break any stereotypes and misconceptions with me. 12:00 - 14:30 she had the courage to admit that the Muslim Men of Chechnya are always approaching her on the street as complete strangers, because they "like to have fun" with Russian Non-Muslim Women she says.............. This is very typical with Muslims everywhere in the World............Muslim Men are not allowed to approach, talk with, flirt with or interact with Muslim Women, but obviously Western Women are "fair game"..............
@@soyouthinkyouaresmart754 What happened to western men ? Why arnt they protecting your western women ? What happened to them too feminized ?
@@imranchaudhry4321 --- In Canada and the USA the men are not feminized, they are just too indoctrinated by Bombastic Feminists to do much else other than mind their own business, and it is not too much of a problem here. I was referring more to Sweden, France and Germany.
THE CITY LOOKS 🎉BEAUTIFUL.ENJOYED UR VLOG..
Stunning scenery. Thank you Eli
Thank you Eli for clearing the negativity about Chechnya, a job well done. A small clip of yours makes very difference among rest of the world...👏👏👏👌👍
Watching from Ireland thank you for the wonderful vid love and prayers from Ireland
Your videos are always so good at showing the beauty of the people and places you visit. You are doing a great service to humankind.
Could watch this channel all day. Wonderful 😊
Thank you Eli for always making such high-quality videos that are both entertaining and informative, your effort is appreciated and it is great content! I am trying to learn Russian and I love watching your videos to try and learn more about Russia.
Fantastic video, full of surprises and colors 👌 I used to have a friend from Chechnya and he was very kind, always trying to fight back the stereotypes built over his region. The world entire deserves EMPATHY and to be hear, every place on earth has a story to tell! Thank you for showing and confirming this to all of us!
Russia successfully took it over by force after killing millions of them. The so-called terrorists were the Chechnyans who tried to stop them. I heard they are still there.
Absolutely different but unique and beautiful! Veronica ⚘️
Thanks for sharing this wonderful journey.
Well ,that was something quite different, Eli ! A new and rather unique overview of a place that remains a mystery to many of us .Thank you so much for this beautiful video ! ❤❤
looks amazing ,thank-you for taking us there you go girl
Subscribed, possibly my new favourite travel blogger! Gotta say though, my man Nick was extremely intimidated by you but he managed to hold it together 😄👏
It is a real pleasure to watch your videos, which are very respectful and sthetically pleasing. Thank you so much.
It a very interesting and enjoyable video you made some time ago Eli.
I totally agree with you. We sometimes are given the wrong impression of a place, until we visit for ourselves and find to our surprise how beautiful it is.
I am also a travel content creator and understand how difficult it is do to the research, shoot in the outdoors, and capture the emotions and the culture. You make itt seems so simple and beautiful ❤️ Hats off! 👏👏👏
Id love to go there one day.Its a beautiful place.Thank you for sharing.Be safe always.
Hi Eli. Thank you for the visit to Chechnya. Love you. The place looks very nice.
A wonderful travel video AND a great history lesson too! Your channel just keeps getting better, keep it up!
