Rasul Gamzatov’s book “Dagestan” brought me here.

I was fascinated by Gamzatov’s description of people and rocky mountains of Dagestan. I read about the honorable history of Imam Shamil, may Allah bless his soul. I was introduced to a lot of Dagestani traditions and sayings. The most important, I learned that “Dag”means the mountain, and “stan” means the land, so Dagestan means “mountains land”.

Eli, you do such a wonderful job of revealing and exposing places in the magnificent Federation of disparate peoples of Russia, which otherwise, many of us would never have known or seen. Thank you for your beautiful videography and narration!!!! (from the USA)

[@loolafly7967]

I searched this due to knowing of Khabib, and I am so surprised to see how beautiful and cultured it is. For me it is the type of place I would love to visit. Hopefully if the political situation becomes better it may be an option x

[@firegirl24]

dude, there is no war in Russia, you can come to Dagestan, nothing will threaten your life

[@K1664KB]

Thanks Eli for showing us so many gorgeous and unique parts of Russia with it’s beautiful people, culture, cuisine and landscapes. God bless you and Russia. Much love from Singapore!

[@VivaLaGEOLANDIA]

From these videos it seems like Life in Russia is very Calm and Peaceful

[@lenelovis]

Lots of love from germany!:) Thankyou for taking me/us with you!❤

[@ragevl7201]

Khabib and his brothers make this place so famous. what a place of warriors and also beaitiful

[@BBHABS]

Ms Eli, thank you very much for your beautiful videos. The videos introduced the world to Russia : her beautiful land and her people. We in SE Asia have little information on Russia. The information were mainly from western media, they tends to magnify the not so nice things and avoid the nice things about Russia. Please continue your good work, thank you again.

[@georgiancrossroads]

Thanks again Eli. I love these journeys into the Caucasus. Especially since I'm living now in Tbilisi. It's the other side of the mountains from here, but it seems similar and alien. I loved Gamsutl. And I think what I appreciate most about your videos is your moments of philosophical reflection. (Pro-Tip: To avoid that wind sound yet capture the wind; record the sound on a small digital recorder in a place out of the wind. Then put the two together.)

[@mariposa3943]

I also want to visit North, the other side of Caucasus 😊 love it ❤

[@premrahulvlogs4832]

As a fan of khabib and Islam I wanna truly visit this places and want to see how the people living there! Thank you so much for showing this Region!

[@alfiashaikh9228]

Khabib is not just the most famous Dagestani in world. He is also the most famous Russian after Putin. The most followed Russian on Instagram! Thank u for making this video❤

[@juppes0466]

Great video! Greetings from the Netherlands🇳🇱👍👍

[@MuslimComputerTuts]

Because of watching your videos I would absolutely love to visit Dagestan and Chechnya. Keep the great videos coming. Many regards from Cleveland, USA 👋🏼

Not gonna lie, I heard of and now love Dagestan because of Khabib and Islam Makhachev 🥰💓 Such a different beautiful culture.. I wanna visit it someday

[@billtsirtsis7060]

Another wonderful video! Thanks Eli!

[@ibrahimlovesblink]

Dagestan\ Russia I have heard a lot about and admired as a country that I hope to visit one day. As for Dagestan, it is rather beautiful, but we want more videos about Russia and its culture. Thank you, lady, for your special effort. Greetings to beautiful Russia

[@michelleriskin8252]

i found your channel and i love every video you put out! i’m russian & have never been to certain parts of russia and would love to go there now. Всё очень интересное :)

[@SamsRussianAdventures]

I'd love to know your opinion. I'm additionally a big fan of this channel and I likewise create content concerning life in Russia. I don't know why but the youtube algorithm has actually not been as wonderful to me yet. Practically everyone who watch my channel writes that it is incredible, unfortunately few get to watch it. Can you be extremely sincere and tell me exactly how I can improve the content? I value your sincere point of view.

[@yudimawarno333]

Hello miss Eli..I am from Indonesia..thank you very much because from you are, I know about Dagestan, a moslem republic in Russia..👍

[@m.haslam8495]

Hi Eli, I would like to mention one thing, and that is your English language is excellent. Russia is a vast country with so much diversification. Great to see someone like yourself giving an insight of the many areas and traditions of Russia. Thank you. 🇮🇳

[@paulreedy9415]

Very well-presented, in well-spoken English. I'm glad I discovered you, as I have taught students from Chechnia, Ossetia, and Nagorno Karabakh, here in the San Francisco area, and have only seen a few videos about this fascinating area of Russia.

[@furqankashar7586]

There is no such thing as Nagorno Karabakh , only Karabağ 🇦🇿🇦🇿

[@havaedi4407]

What did they study?

[@nqanqanqa]

I had a short time traveling in Dagestan overland. Very beautiful place, great people, extremely beautiful women. Would really love to visit the region again. Greetings from Vietnam !

[@Hamza-xf5wd]

Your doing a wonderful thing for your country and helping people understand and appreciate Russia. Thank you !

[@_Betty.Ford_]

Awesome, what a beautiful place❤️ i enjoyed this video very much😌

[@specialk5296]

Great video! What a beautiful region. Hard to believe it’s not a larger tourist destination . Thanks for showing.

[@DespaceMan]

I think & seen many times before once a place becomes a larger tourist destination all the charm is gone.

[@LittleWolf194]

Eli, I am an American and am enjoying your tours, you are wonderful! I look forward to watching more of your videos :)

[@SoydeCubaCompay]

Beautiful 12:27

[@elpaso4765]

Land of brave people.

[@Cennwulf]

I watch a lot of weddings that happen in the Caucasus - and some that take place in Dagestan. This helped put them in better context. I love your channel - every educational and your English is GREAT! I love your perspective, keep up the good work! (and warmest regards from Texas, USA)

[@muhammadkhabibi2056]

Wow amazing pemandangannya sangat indah slm from indonesia 🇮🇩..

[@lorneclarke87]

Eli, I love your videos. I did not realize before that Russia is so beautiful and the people are so nice and friendly. I am from Canada.

[@john99776]

Eli enunciates so clearly that I really like to listen while she's speaking. The consonants come through perfectly.

[@mirandapillsbury7885]

I hope there is more development in Dagestan and the other Caucasus provinces. I know that Chechnya is actually developing economically slowly and other regions too but hopefully Dagestan starts to develop more. Tourism can be a big source of income for them! they have amazing long cost of the Caspian sea and a lot of beautiful mountains. Also a nice tradition and culture

[@British777]
