Inside Chechnya | Russia's Most Infamous Republic (NOT what we expected!)

Welcome to Grozny, the capital of Chechnya (Chechen Republic). The Chechen Republic is a Muslim majority autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of Russia. Unfortunately it is better known for the conflicts of the 1990's and early 2000's, which earnt Gronzy the title of 'the most destroyed city on earth'. Despite the stigma, and the Foreign Office warnings, the Chechnya of today is much changed from the one that hit the headlines a couple of decades back. We went in to get a look at real life in Chechnya and find out what Russia's most infamous republic is really like.

Me with my wife visited Chechnya in a week long trip in may 2023. We were there for the first time in our lives and also none of us have ancestors from there so it was a bit creepy. The only thing that helped me to think of the region as about a good one is my homie that is Chechen: he is very kind and restrained and... so polite u know. So after the trip we got maybe not in their religion and history that is obviously too huge to wrap in a week of learning it through field trips but into their, what we call it, lifestyle. Like being polite, calm and respectful. And what made us surprised too was that they don't have any alcohol beverages in markets, when we got used to our alcoholic russian mentality with drinkers and alcomarkets everywhere, chechens drink a lot of sodas and spark waters (thankfully to the Caucasus with its springs of water). And also they turned to be a very sporty nation, like now we got why Chechens as well as Dagestan nations are so strong men with good stamina and overall health parameters

So we have enough energy available to survive (and then some) X 1000. So if you aren't making 1000x more money than you need to pay your basic needs, your money is being taken somewhere.....and cities can rebuild so so fast simply all that wealth inside a destroyed city goes to rebuilding the city because whatever political structure was squandering that wealth before is temporarily gone.

It seems so surreal after the 2 Chechen wars that the city is vibrant and full of life. Also, the long tragic history of the Chechen people shows how resilient, strong, and tough as a nation but deep sadness and emptiness as well for the lost generation for that didn't make it during the war. It makes Timur Mucrayev's songs out of place in today's Chechnya, unlike during the climax of the wars, perhaps peace is best for all.

Sergey They did not wanted to be part of russia , so should've just let them go😁 But now paying big money as a tribute. Poorest region , i don't know about that. There aren't homeless people not even one! , no-one stays without food, no addicts etc. but if you look at how much money they make then maybe, yes. Still not even close comparable to the poor regions of ethnic russians.

The war greatly destroyed Grozny, and, according to the UN, it was considered the most destroyed city after the Second World War at that time. The war ended Alhamdulillah and peace came to Chechnya.

[@alexanderkostiaev9426]

Chechnya is Russia, you ignoramus. Jihadi terrorists, the likes who turned Libya and Syria to rubble with western help, also tuned Grozny to rubble. It is Russia who saved Chechnya from the same fate visited on Libya and Syria, and rebuilt it with Russian money.

I'm a Chechen and I want to say that we will never forget that wars and our victims. Russia always invading to our country killing thousands of our people, destroying our houses. Independence lives in our hearts but now we need to recover and live. We need to increase our population and need to develop and get modern technologies and educate. We know how to live and we are very friendly people, we happy to see a tourists from a different countries. Always in our history we fights against Russia but now unfortunately Russia eat our taxes and resources like a very good quality oil.

The will for power can destroy alot and peace on earth dosent exist to some people example politicans, who is behind all of it. War begins with words and ends in actions.

[@SIRLASEDARCHI]

I only agree with some of what you said. Also, tourism in Chechnya will be devastation and corruption for its conservative people. Kadyrov and his government will gradually spread moral corruption, including feminism, homosexuality, and atheism, by issuing special laws that allow tourists to spread their corruption and agendas among the Chechen people. But in the end, they will not succeed in their plans.
