At minute 16:06 the nato block map is messed up, don't know what happened when rendering that clip. It seems that we downgraded NATO expansionism.
It's fine we know how it looks all ready
Next Putin like leader is a Muslim lol ,most likely.
Your sympathising with america? Seriously
You got France and small French Guiana in South America, but not large Danish Greenland in North America, just European Denmark alone. P.S. People, who think Kadyrov will betray Putin, are wrong in my opinion. He is one step forward (Chechen nationalist), two steps back (pro-Russia/pro-Putin) type of a person. Why do I think so? Kadyrov is a brutal dictator: threats, tortures, killing people, his "army" is fighting in illegal (in terms of international law) wars across the world, etc. Kadyrov*s Chechnya is in the same line with North Korea and Turkmenistan. A lot of people from liberals to jihadists and even some pro-Putin centrists in Chechnya and neighboring regions hate him. He is not just a brutal dictator, he is also some sort of imperialist trying to steal lands from neighboring republics. So if Putin will be overthrown by any opposition force, there will be a good chance Kadyrov will be sentenced to a long prison term. Probably to a life imprisonment. The rulers of other regions could survive such hypothetical coup (their biggest crime is corruption and stuff), but not Kadyrov, he is too toxic. And he knows that.

Fun fact: Kadyrov is not Putin's ally. He's Putin's subject. Now, we can call Belarus President Putin ally because he's a staunch supporter of Moscow but from an independent state. However, Chechnya is part of Russia and firmly under Putin's control. If Putin says jump, Kadyrov asks, how high?
Chechnya is part of Russia?

There are too many inaccuracies in this video to waste my time addressing them. One of the most irksome is how it ignores Georgia except to lob a full insults at Georgians. Georgian was one of the first to declare its independence from the USSR. Another issue is linguistics. The video takes the erroneous position that all of the Caucasian languages are related. They are not. There is no linguistic relationship between most of them. Chechen is as different from Georgian as Chechen is different from Russian. They are unrelated.
Everyone has an egenda
Hence, why most people in those regions are using russian to talk to people from other ethnic groups, if I am correct?
@@Ptitnain2 yep
Pretty obvious it wasnt going to give everyone a fair shake at things when in the first few minutes he says the chechens were just using civilians as human meat shields when in actuality the russians gave the chechens an ultimatum to surrender or face indiscriminate bombing of their civilian population, which they refused so the russains destroyed the city and filled the streets with dead children. Because the russians got their shit kicked in on the ground in some of the most embarrassing military command of all time .
Look up 131st maikop rifle brigade story. 800 of 1000 soldiers in a single battalion dead within 2 days because their government sent them unprepared into a muslim deathtrap. So they resorted to just bombing their woman and children. Who are the real terrorists?
@@Ptitnain2 потому что народов Кавказа языки слишком разные, например есть Тюрки, есть персы и есть автохтонный народы которые вообще другой язык а во время СССР так сложилось что они все знают русский язык и для общения между различными народов используется только русский язык потому что на родном языке разные народы не понимают друг друга
Several issues throughout the video:
3:08 Georgians usually have no problems with Russians, it's the Russian government that is resented.. you know.. because of the Russian invasion of Georgia in 2008
3:24 There was a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in Autumn of 2020
4:04 Map is of modern day Russia
4:45 Both Armenia and Georgia are Christian
5:32 Map is not of USSR
7:34 Said refferendum was not held in Georgia, Armenia, and the Baltic states
7:47 Both Georgia and Armenia held referendums in 1991 to become independent. In both countries the turnout was more than 99% in favour of independence. Thus, Chechnya was not the 'only one' to do so. In Georgia, in 1989, there were even widespread protests for independence which were brutally crushed by the Soviets (the April 9th Massacre) To say that only Chechnya aspired for independence is an insult
12:11 Diagram shows Chechens retreating into Chechen lowlands, not highlands
Also, throughout the video Crimea was shown to be part of Russia despite the fact it was part of Ukraine throughout all the Chechen wars
naturally, cause the Russians resented islamic encroachment. But Stalin and other russian leaders gave them total religious freedom. When islam doesnt give any religious freedom to anybody.
He is just spreading anti russian propaganda, he doesn't care for anything else. He reads what they payed him
georgians despise russians as people because of everything theyve done in history
thanks for fact checking this bs
Damn thats like a quater of the video especially since the 16:06 map is also incorrect.
I fought Chechens in Afghanistan. They are no joke. A lot more skilled and disciplined than the local fighters.
Yeah but there's 2 groups the one's that fight good are the anti kydrov guy's that hate Russia. There actually fighting on Ukraine's side and the Kydrov loyalists are on Russia's side. So basically the one's we fought in middle east are the same one's we're arming now strangely we armed the Afghanis against Russians in 80s to.
@@dlmdlm7685 I doubt hardcore Chechen Muslim extremists would fight for a secular/Christian westernized country that is far away from their native lands just bcs they are at war with Russia.
@@nak1509 I can't speak for to the number of Chechens fighting on the Ukrainian side but as I understand it the Chechen separatist movement was secular when it started and eventually became co-opted by religious fundamentalists.
Those are against khadyrov, the traitor and Russian puppet.
no one wants to fight them 😂 they thoroughly enjoy war. Hope you never see war again.
There are many mistakes. Khattab was not a war lord in Afghanistan although he fought there. He arrived to Chechnya in the first war that started in 1994 and he never saw Osama and had nothing to do with alqaida! This is just one mistake, there are a lot of Others!
Khatab has idrect Links with al Qaeda and he was sponsored the NATO backed Saudi Proxy . NATO criminals sponsor all terror in the globe .

Nice video. However, as a linguist, let me point out that there is no Caucasian language family. There are at least three indigenous language families. I don't know which source claims that language was a uniting factor for Caucasian resistance, but that makes no sense. In fact, the languages of the Caucasus are notorious for being mutually incomprehensible.
@Ethnic Nationalist There is no caucasian language family dude, he's speaking the truth
@Ethnic Nationalist I don't think that's the issue, serious academic studies haven't confirmed the existence of the language family, as in, no correlation or even mutual intelligibility between languages.
@Ethnic Nationalist what language family? I dont understand other caucasians at all we have no words in common. You dont know what youre talking about youre not from here.
@Ethnic Nationalist similar loanwords doesn't prove anything. Languages can be ifluenced by geography too. Mountainous regions tend to produce shorter words with less vowels etc. Writing materials used can influence the form of script. There are lots of similarities between languages all around the world. That's not enough though. If you suppose that all caucasian languages are part of one family, then they should diverge over time and split, not converge. So you need to look not for similarities but for differences. And for some historical base for your theory. Otherwise it's pure speculation.
@Ethnic Nationalist we all come from Adam but im not related to kardashians bro forget it
Why is Crimea part of the Russian map in 1994? Even a Russian nationalist wouldn't claim Russia controlled/owned Crimea during the first Chechen war.
Was wondering the same
Maybe bcz giving it to ukraine was a fraud all along.
@@hereitcomes3912 Yeah, but with that logic Russia shouldn't control the true Finnish parts of Karelia, or the sovereign Japanese Kuril and Sakhalin islands. Tanna Tuva should still have it's glorious independence and Mongolia should still rule over most of Russian Asia.
@@scoobydoobers23 the only logic the likes of russia or murica goes by, is that the stronger dog gets all the food.
@@hereitcomes3912 I'm ok with that logic when it comes to Russia. The problem for them is that they aren't really that strong and all the dogs in the neighborhood are forming a pack so what strength he has is useless. And now Russia is upset that no one wants to be their friend after having their food stolen for decades/centuries.

9:00 Crimea wasn't part of Russia yet, because it has been officially part of the Ukrainian socialist republic since the 1960s, which broke away in 1991.
Was about to make a post on this. And to be sure, it isn't a part of Russia today, only occupied by the orc army. I would hope sensible people would stop advancing Putler's propaganda by making these mistakes.

Thanks for the great video. Always wanted to understand the history behind Chechnya.
Not the right video for that I promise you
When you look at Chechnya on the map, "mountains" and "countryside" (where the separatists would take cover from federal forces) are at the bottom, and the plains (where the Russians would have full reign) are at the top. This is actually clearly depicted on the underlying topographic map. Your After Effects guy messed this up almost EVERY time!
Love these vids :)
Excellent video dude from start to finish and so much crazy subject matter to deal with. Some spot that. Ciao dara

Insane misinformation here though. USSR map doesn't have Baltic states and more, Georgia and Armenia are majority Christian and in the Caucasus, etc...
@@bucherregaldomi9084 what
This video is rather a proof that they need to work harder, there is so many mistakes, another comment listed a lot of them.
It's worth making another short video to fix those mistakes. It's pretty bad.
Georgia is not an overly Muslim country, same for [North/South] Ossetia and Armenia. So I wouldn't say they all shared Islam as a common element.
moreover these days most of russian caucause populated cristians. mainly slavic people. is not the situation of the 18th century
@@user-oz5vu9fb9r No, most people there arent slavic.
I think he means the North Caucasus which is mostly Muslim (excluding the Ossetians)
@Timur Sayfullah No, my comment doesn't say that Georgia never had many Muslims. At the _current_ age, Georgia is NOT an overly Muslim country.
@Timur Sayfullah brah where do you gez information ? 😂 if youre talking about older times those muslim georgians were forced to take islam so they never realy were muslims they were only on paper to not get killed
Editing it top notch man. Bravo! You've earned yourself a new subscriber
As Chechen i would say, a lot of mistakes are been made in video. And a lot of information is missing. But good job making this video!

@@andreichiorean4450 they are huge. They foolish people by publishing this kind of vids where is you can find a lie above some little truth.

Could you say some stuff he got wrong?
@@potatowedges765 At 4:48 he named three points uniting the resistance against Russia. Firstly, Armenia and Georgia are Christian countries and they were together with Russia, not against it, because this is the only christian county in the region, he also said that there is a common language there, but this is not the case at all, in the Caucasus there is 50-60 languages, only Turkic speakers understand the languages of the same Turks. Even Islam have differences, in Azerbaijan they're Shiites, chechens and dagestanis is Sufi. Next thing, Chechens were deported not to Siberia, but to the steppes of Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. At 10:10 he said about "worsed political situation in capital of Chechnya, but he showed images of city after 31 December 1995 new year assault, At 10:24 he said about pro-russian opposition, but Ahmad Kadyrov wasn't pro-russian at the time he is talking about. At 11:57 he said that Chechens "had no problems with using civilians as human shield" it's also lie, civilians were asked to leave the city, but those who had nowhere to go remained. At 12:12 "they went to the mountains", but shows that they went to the lowlands. at 12:28 after Dudaev death Maskhadov did not immediately come to power, Yandarbiev was in front of him. 16:42 "illegitimate Chechen government" - no, they we're legit, Maskhadov President elected by Chechen people, election was monitored by the OSCE. 18:49 ”in 1991..." No, it was on 2001. 20:28 "Kadyrov swore in as the new president" The president was Ahmad Kadyrov, not Ramzan, Ramzan become the president only in 2007, after his father assassination. and so on, a lot of mistakes, it would not hurt to better prepare for the video.

@@lunafringe10Lol, why then russians don't understand Ukrainian? And why are they so butthurt because we promote Ukrainian instead of russian in our media? And most importantly, what does your question have to do with my initial question and subsequent response to that russian female?
As a ethnic Chechen, I must say I enjoyed this episode, however I wish you had contacted someone knowledgeble on the matter or done a more proper research. I do understand it's not easy to find trustworthy information since there are tons of misinformation on the web pumped out by Russian propoganda machine. The subject around Chechnya is very complicated, it would be hard to understand due to variety of reasons, especially for a foreigner. For centures we have fought for our independence and there are more wars to come. Here are some information that I think will help the public to understand few important details. I'll be happy to prove my sayings with evidence if anyone is interested. Only facts here:
Chechnya is region rich with natural resources. Mainly oil and natural gas. Just this year they found 16 new oil locations that will bring approximatly 40 billion USD. This is one of the reasons Russia does not want to grant Chechnya it's independence. Second reason is domino effect. If Chechnya is free, other close by regions will want to follow and Russia does not want that.
In the spam of 2 wars in the 90's we lost around 300,00 civillians, mostly children under 16. Chechens are very honorble warriors so I don't know from where you got information about that they used there own people as a shield. It wouldn't even make sense. We defeated "the great russian army" in the first Chechen-Russian war 1994-96 with only AK-47s and RPG's (didn't have any military vehicles, tanks, jets etc, only infantry). No other country helped us. Everyone became blind and mute. May I remind you Chechnya's population at that time was roughly around 1 million. Russian army was humiliated and when the peace treaty was signed Russians asked for conditions that would make it sem like they are leaving on their own terms.
1999 Russians blew up their own appartment buildings in Russian cities full of civillians and blamed it on Chechens. This triggered the start of second Chechen-Russian war. This is popular tactic Russia uses to this day, where they attack or simulate an attack their own people under false flag and blame it on conterpart so they have a reason to invade. This is well documentated and there are tons of evidence that FSB was behind bombings of those apparment buildings.
Russia appointed Kadyrov Achmat as a Chechen president year 2003. He was later killed during 2004, but not by Chechens, FSB were behind this assassination. Russians weren't pleased by their new puppet ruler. He was too weak and they needed someone more bloodthursty who could keep in check the whole region. Assassination: They placed a bomb under presidents seat in the arena during a parade. The explosive device was then remotly detonetad. This would be impossible to pull off for Chechen freedom fighters since 1. arena was full of pro russian soldiers and was well searched before the parade 2. the wouldn't know where he would be sitting 3. and the most important point, the explosive device was remotly detonetad which shouldn't be possible because the arena was surrounded by mobile vehicles with remote jamming detectors that would turn off any remote devices in the area...however those jamming detectors didn't work, I wonder why...
Many Chechen freedom fighters you named in this video are people who died for their country, defending their country from the brutar invador. Induviduals like Djokhar Dudayev, Shamil Basayev, Aslan Maskhadov have streets and parks named after them in countries like Latvia, Turkey, Ukraine and Germany. They are national heroes.
Russia blames Chechen freedom fighters for the assassionation, and later appoints his son Ramzan Kadyrov (aka lulja), he's the current president of Chechnya. And he's exactly who they need. Ramzan Kadyrov is a little insecure boy with Napoleon complex who kidnaps, kills and tortures his own people. All that for money and power. 95% of Chechen people don't support him, but are forced to play by his rules. If you speak against him, the best outcome is that you get killed, the worst, your whole family tree will be tortured and whiped out. Puppet leader does everything he is told, because if Putin falls, he will fall. Hopefully one day Chechnya will be independent!
I hope the current situation in Ukraine can eventually make the world look back at the wars in Chechnya during 90's and realize what really happened. The capital of Chechnya, Groznyj, was the most destroyed city in the world since WW2. We lost around 300,00 civillians. But nobody cared. The world turned their back on us.
Chechen you are blind
@@aboriginalalex I don’t know much about the conflict other than this video and this comment, but knowing Russia I wouldn’t be surprised if they are helping to oppress Chechnya. Oppressed ppl often do terrible things so I’m sure they aren’t completely innocent. Probably similar to Israel-Palestine.
@@comacollosasa6282 If you are not well informed about the subject, it’s better to do a research first without making any assumptions my friend. Everything I wrote up there is a fact that can easily be proven.
I concur with everything you wrote. I wish an actual Chechen made a video explaining the history in English. Chechnya has been in the news lately with the war in Ukraine & high profile MMA fighters like Khamzat making a name for themselves. It would be nice to get it from the horses mouth instead of from a second hand source who while decent clearly is severely under informed due to the many mistakes in this video. If I were the OP I would redo the video and consult some people with a greater understanding of the region and the war.
Is the price of Islamic extremism justifiable for the independence? You speak of more wars to come but you can do much better than wars in this day and age I think, If chechnya really is rich in natural resources then you need leaders who can negotiate instead of following Islamic extremism. Ramzan Kadyrov's father was killed by russians yet he's still loyal to russia because he's insecure? That sounds like some classic psychologist bullshit.
Enjoyable video, can tell a lot of hard work went into it. Thank you
Wow that was a lot of history presented in a very interesting way 👍
yeah and half of it is bullshit
Ramzan Kadyrov is like a ridiculous character out of a movie. He's got to be playing a role.

Actually, the only autonomous republic that has the ability to declare independence from russian federation is Chechnya

Nice video!Greetings from Romania!I hope that you will talk about the situation in Western Balkans too,about Bosnia,Kosovo,Yugoslav wars and many more,even about Tito leadership.
Tito was fake. A puppet. A freemasonic puppet. You can't create a country like Yugoslavia without the world's elites giving their OK first, but it's not just the OK, it was their plan all along. Tito, like so many post ww2 leaders, were given the best period to rule over their respective countries... Eventho Tito was a corrupt leader, the country was prosperous enough for the people not to look to him. This is the truth. All are Masonic puppets except Bosnians, who are the truest descendants of the Illyrian against which a conspiracy existed since the great Illyrian revolt.. and they kept punishing the descendants up to now. Secret meeting during the Bosnian wars. François Mitterand visited Tuđman and Milošević, but didn't meet with the Bosnian leader Izetbegović. It was literally presented in the news as secret negotiations. Well now, François Mitterand was a Grandmaster in the Masonic order.
This is the world.. John F Kennedy warned in his Waldorf Astoria speech.
Best not to talk about it...best to just be happy that it is kinda stable and the way it is... talking about it is a can of worms...
I am from Croatia btw.. :D
P.S: lets not mention that 70% of Serbians are supporting Russia and they even had pro-russian protests and are glorifying putin. That part of Bosnia, "Srpska Republic", is slowly beating the war drums more and more last few years and its leader is very good friend of putin and expects his help there...
And all that..

A brilliant history lesson thank u
A brilliant fairy tale
Al-Khattab did not care about the political system, he just fought against Russians for independence. He left governance to others. Wahhabi influence was overstated, simply because both Russia and the US and Europe had aligning interests at the time. The EU literally stated it would deemphasise Russia's war crimes in exchange for business dealings and the US gave billions to the Russia to fight against Chechnya. The let Russia do pretty much anything it wanted, including painting them all as terrorists.
Also, the apartment bombing were reported by Russian media DAYS before it happened, showing how it was a plot all along, you didn't mention this. The victims of the Beslan School siege were literally bombed by Russia, it was not the Chechens who killed them. Chechens did not demand money or power, just Russian withdrawal.
Russia committed so many war crimes in the war that they themselves created terrorists, not outside influences. The US did the same thing by killing plenty in the 80s and 90s. It was simply blowback.

Honestly speaking, Khattabs judgement was actually very sound and wise and I'm not surprised, he had lots of prior experience from others wars for instance, he was of the opinion that it was pointless to defend cities & towns, forcing the Russians into difficult sieges which then would result in complete destruction due to artillery & Airstrikes, killing many civilians in the process / he simply opted on giving up all cities and towns without a fight while retreating into the forests and mountains and letting the Russians take and occupy those places without any destruction, material damage or civilians deaths & then let them have a false sense of victory and safety & launch a massive TET style offensive over night, catching the stationed Russian army by surprise on many places at once, making them unable to effectively use their airforce & artillery and basically retake the country overnight with a lot of russian losses & prisoners
Because he understood that the Chechen insurgents got the better of Russian infantry, once you seperated that Infantry from it's Airforce & artillery and divided up it's armored units as stationary sitting ducks
But many chechen warlords were simply too pridefull to give up their urban area's without a fight & were way too divided and disorganized to pull off a complex operation like this / Also Khattab never fought in cities but successfully pulled off many ambushes and raids on the Russian troops from the countryside, he was never a burden on the civilian population and gave actually more value to the Chechen citizen then their own resistance did
initially he was also opposed on the invasion of Daghestan & said that if they invaded, they should attack Daghestan with all Chechen units, meaning all 10 000 fighters and not just Basajev with his battalion but since the other warlord didn't want to partake and stubborn basajev said he would attack either way regardless of numbers, Khattab relented and went with Basajev because no one else would
loosing khatab was a huge blow to that Chechen resistance

The influence of Islamic extremism definitely wasn’t understated.. especially in Dagestan. Unless you think having a non secular sharia law nation is not extremist? The rebels at the time wanted a caliphate, that’s just facts. Maybe it was hijacked by this movement, but it doesn’t mean its not true.
11:54 "... the Chechens, who had no problem using civilians as human shields..." sounds like doublespeak for "the Russians, who had no problem targeting civilians"
Dunno if that's actually the case but given Russian military conduct it wouldn't be surprising
Chechens did not use human shields. Chechens would give his live to protect other chechen people. Knowing that russians used human shields.
You’re right, spatnaz killed the rebels at the theater along with Russians with that unknown gas. Both sides were using normal citizens.
These is the script he get from Washington 😂😂
lol picture having japan in your name talking about "who had no problem targeting civilians" that's like a British person bashing colonizing your country became rich because of you going to Asian countries and raping and killing civilians and stealing from them? Your government won't even recognize the massacres they caused
Nice to found your Channel, very go Video (:

Very professional and informative dive into Caucus geopolitics. Good job.
I loved watching it on the italian channel and now even more on the international one. Keep It up Man!!
GOD BLESS YOU, SIR. WE LOVE CHECHNYA. WE PRAY THAT THE PEOPLE CAN LIVE PEACEFULLY.

I think kadyrov does best for his people, the economy has gone up so much since he stepped in
don’t carry a stranger, Kadyrov is a traitor to his people, and the Chechens hate him, Kadyrov did nothing, Russia steals oil from Chechnya, and gives 10% for construction, if there was no stupid Russia, then the Chechens would live better than in Dubai

what common caucasian language are you talking about? that area has multiple unrelated primary language families... There's more language diversity in those mountains than in the rest of europe combined.
@Ethnic Nationalist no that hasn't been proven. they dont even belong to the same language group, nevermind a single language as was mentionedi n this video. they're completely unintelligible
even if there was a ibero-caucasian group, that doesnt mean the languages make sense to eachother or are unified. there was a claim of 'common language' here.
And that's all besides that fact that turkic, indo-european, and even mongollic languages are in the area too.
@Ethnic Nationalist lmao. Since you decided to get insulting, I'm not sure you're having this conversation in good faith. You're also ignoring the fact that both the Ottomans and Russia have historically owned the area and there are huge amounts of turkic and indo-european speakers like I already said.
Look up what a 'primary language family' is. It means a group of languages that share a common ancestor with eachother, but with no other language in the world. East and west caucasian have always been seen as 2 completely different primary language families, along with indo-european. More recently, it was found that the georgian languages do not share a common ancestor with the other west caucasian languages. Therefore there are 3 primary language families native to the area, and 3 more with majority areas that moved in later, indo-european, turkic, and afro-asiatic (arabic).
In conclusion, the caucuses are one of the most linguistically diverse places in the world. Not only are there tonnes of mutually unintelligible languages, but there are 3 families of languages that have entirely separate origins. They're no more similar to eachother than Basque is to Spanish.
So again, implying there was any kind of common language in the area is silly.
@Ethnic Nationalist allright 'ethnic nationalist', but ill be blunt. Implying there's one common language group in the caucuses isn't just factually wrong, it isn't just cultural insensitive. It's flat out racist. It's like pushing a conspiracy theory that all african langauges come from a single language.
So careful when you push these kind of conspiracy theories, you come across as quite racist beyond just being wrong.
Merci pour le vidéo intéressant avec beaucoup d'information.
Mais dans la carte, la Crimée semble faire partie de la Russie? Pourquoi?
cette video est remplie d'erreurs il ne faut pas la prendre au sérieux
there's many lies in this video, and this blogger is telling to you the russian propaganda.
Quick question, why is cremia a part of russia in the cards?
4:47 .. Similarity of languages? lol You are mistaken. It's not a language family like e.g. the Slavic languages.
Do your research properly.
I think another reason Russia invaded Chechnya was not just oil but they wanted to prevent other autonomous republics from declaring independence or greater autonomy. If the autonomous republics declared independence or pushed for greater autonomy it would greatly damage Russia.
lol, imagine if Iran wanted to move in to US borders.
Caucasus is an incubator for islamists. Russia needs to control the territory to prevent the rise of another ISIS.
Russia cannot invade Chechnya as it was part of Russia. Will it make sense for the USA to invade California or Texas?
Russia decided to keep Chechnya under it's rule because Ichkeria that rose in Chechnya's place as a state had 100% of it's GDP consisted from slavery and robbing of russian trains.😅
I don't think US would've tolerated Mexico if all governmental income there was only from kidnapping american citizens & turning them into slaves, and attacking USA's trade ships.

Top video, more informative than some others on Chechnya
7:50 Autonomous Republics of the Caucasus? Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia were countries within the USSR (main 15 republics) not the part of RSFSR (as an autonomous part of Russia)/ And why during entire video Crimea is a part of Russian Federation?
Islam came much early to Chechnya than the 19th century it started to spread in Chechnya(Kingdom of Simsir) during the 14th century
What was the religion before Islam?

You messed up the Imam Shamils and Sheikh Mansurs pictures.
18:35 another fun fact. Ahmad Kadyrov had been a snitch to KGB in the 80s. The Chechen top brass knew this, but didn't do anything. Zelimkhan Yandarbiev later expressed regret saying "we should've gotten rid of him then".
Please, in future, avoid designating Crimea as a territory of Russian Federation on maps. It might be an unforced error by You, yet it plays heavily into hands of those, who actually believe that Crimea is indeed a part of Russian Federation.
Does it matter now? It has been controlled by the russian goverment since 2014...
this is done on purpose, it's a very weird pseudo-historical video
Before 2014 ukrainian, after that it's been russian. If you disagree why do they speak russian and have payed taxes to moscow for 8 years now. This is a fact regardless of the current war.
Crimea was annexed by Russia tho
@@senpai8435 speaking russian is a very common ability for ukrainian, ouzbek, lettonian, khazak,... or even some few alaskan people, still they are not russians and paying "taxes" to an occupation force doesn't reflect any people's will.
At the beginning, Chechens only ever wanted their freedom, which is why they constantly fought back against Russia no matter the odds.
But the massacre of the Shamashki village (Russian troops stormed the villages and tortured/murdered civilians, women, elderly and children.) was the one event that broke all the possible rules of this modern conflict.
Well, to be honest there was just no rules anymore. This is one of the event that made Chechens swore to take revenge against Russia, and began to deshumanize their people just as much as Russia did it to Chechens. And this mentality which is still deep inside most Chechen's minds (especially the diaspora) is one that Kadyrov is constantly trying to repress by glorifying Russia, Putin, and making that new pro-russian Chechen youth in Chechnya.
You have to understand how Kadyrov is hated by his own people for his betrayal, and he knows it himself. The minute Moscow gives up on him, he will be killed and probably rather brutaly.
False. Chechens were killing each other, until Russia stepped up and backed the side that wanted to be friendly with Russia. Kadyrov was on one side of the conflict, some third of the country.
@@hola-pf1zu too bad I'm actually a native chechen who knows more about my history than a random dude on TH-cam.
Chechens always wanted their independence away from Russia. Those who collaborated with Moscow were just sold off people from break away taips(clans) who didn't even care for Chechnya. This war wasn't new to anyone in the country, since we've been fighting them for 300 years because one bitch tsarine wanted to conquer the Caucasus.
The moment things went south is when Russia left the territory beaten down, but with an equally destroyed Chechnya. And of course no one was able to pay for their destruction, certainly not themselves, which saw the rise of warlords against the Chechen government (which Ahkmat Kadyrov was part of before his betrayal) warlords Russia actively used to divide Chechnya even more, and come back when things were a mess to bomb Chechnya again (there is testimonies of Russian soldiers scared of going further than the border because of how afraid they were of Chechens lmao)
After Putin bombed his own people in Moscow to create a false flag attack and call us terrorists.
Kadyrov might become president of Russia in the future.

Apart from the other corrections, the phrase "Akhmat sila" doesn't mean "Akhmat is power", it means "Akhmat is strongest".
No, it means power
Bit confused why you correct errors you made rather than edit to fix them? Very informative otherwise!
Everyone’s talking about how Russia is losing troops in Ukraine however it seems Russia doesn’t seem to care
To be exact the Russian higher ups don't care but the Russian people do they already know there are thousands of Russians dead and don't seem to trust their government sources of their children is still fighting even tho they can't be contacted AKA dead.
It doesn't
Good job of researching 😅 thank you 🙏
