Probably the travel advisories are stemming from the bad reputation of Chechnya back 20 years ago. Back then there was lots of insurgents and Chechnya was known as a place where foreigners were often kidnapped or killed (4 British telecom workers were beheaded by rebels). Now it has law and order and is very safe for tourists, as long as you keep your nose out of local politics and respect local traditions. Crime rates are very low but it's an Islamic republic and that means no public drinking, no public display of affection, and you must dress modestly, especially females.

There is no bars, night clubs, etc. in Chechnya. Alcohol is forbidden. People not only go to jail but get expelled from their community when they do something shameful, as in noone wants to talk to them anymore, not even their family, due to Chechen traditions. Rape in particular is non-existent in Chechnya because, as I said, people who commit crimes are expelled from communities, and rape is a huge shame for the one who commits it.

[@williamgill5286]

made us afraid what? I guess the braindead, the cowardice or most likely the uninformed could be afraid but you dont need to be afraid to know when going somewhere is probably not a good idea. Its common sense but most people dont have that so they need to be told which places come with what risk if you decide to go there then it becomes their own choice to be afraid or not of such facts. Most people lack understanding of much of anything which can lead to being afraid of the unknown out of sheer self preservation so its each individuals own choice to be afraid and that cannot be blamed on whatever else you said

Beautiful bride and friendly looking people. I think Chechnya has a “dangerous” reputation because of the fierce nature of the people when they need to protect themselves. The other “dangerous” aspect of Chechnya from the point of view of Westerner’s is Kadyrov’s blatant and brutal way of capturing, imprisoning, torturing, and killing his personal enemies and political opponents like the Yangulbayev family. Then there are Basayev and Salman Raduyev. Despite the reputation of some brutal warlords Chechnya looks like a beautiful region with a diverse and amazing culture.

Недавно была история про девочку из Чечни, которая не хотела выходить замуж за мужчину, которого выбрала её семья, и сбежала в Москву. Она уже совершеннолетняя, поэтому по закону могла уехать, но родные все равно устроили поиски, чтобы потом в семье издеваться. Могу ошибаться, но там вроде от семьи даже угрозы в смерти к ней были с философией «ты нас опозорила». Наше правительство ее не защитило, а помогли лишь международные организации по защите прав человека. После её побега Кадыров ещё и уволил человека, который вел переговоры с правительством Москвы о принудительном возвращении девушки на родину, так как тот не выполнил свою работу Верю, что там есть хорошие люди, но и подобных очень много.

Its not advisible to go to Chechen republic right coz of Ramzan Kadyrov who is war criminal and is ruling with iron fist, to any of you wondering why Chechen men have exactly same beard, its not coz of chechen tradition or culture, but coz of law put in place by Kadyrov and anyone who is not following it, is considered traitor and maybe even put to death on the spot. Chechen ppl are wonderful and they have amazing culture sadly they are used and demolished by russia and ruled by a Putin's puppet. Oh and btw, Kadyrov put a law saying that woman is not independent, she is considered property of man, and he can also exact revenge on her if she for example cheats on him but also is husband thinks that she is acting immoral, revenge in most cases means to kill, its called hounor killing.

[@Checkmate_Edits]

Yet if you travel to the west if a person gets all in your face saying things like : "LeT jEsUS bE yOur SaVior" or "wHy dOn't yOU aCcePt gAY lOve?" that ain't aggressive? If anything no matter your answer to that muslim question they're gonna grab you from the hand, welcome you to their house, invite you to a 5 course free meal, and teach you their traditions, and that's every arabic/muslim country's case, most notably Bangladesh, Morocco, and others in the arab peninsula. I bet you've never been to there if that's your assumption.

[@royalkutun5699]

@Checkmate_Edits oh really ?? Calling everyone other than Muslims kafir.feeding someone free then asking him to convert to islam.we all shake hands of others.we accept those Muslims in europe in millions.then they ruin our culture, molest our women.riots.sharia,breed baby like rats.its will be 100 pages of things they do in here after come here illegally

@@js56056 A leader is weak if he can't take negative criticism . I heard a story where he was going to kill a young boy for words he said.

Chechens do not like it when you say that Chechnya is Russia Chechnya is occupied and you must accept it and you must also understand that the Chechens have not abandoned their state of Ichkeria and the Chechens are still fighting for their freedom in 2022 October 17 Ukraine recognized the independence of the Chechen state of Ichkeria and I I hope that other countries recognize Ichkeria.

[@uliseshuerta7782]

The American government recommends not traveling to Russia and especially Chechnya due to wrongful indefinite detainment. The Russian government has detained Americans indefinitely for minor offense. Such Brittney Griner, and recently the American journalist Evan Gershkovich for reporting on the Russian-Ukrainian war. Even I was detained for a 16 hours on the third day of my two week trip to Chechnya, while visiting to attend my brothers wedding. I was never told why I was detained, i can only imagined because of my work as defense contractor and employment to a company associated with the American DOD. The people were lovely and the food was great but I sure as hell wouldn’t go back

[@lynne4499]

Did Britney Griner commit a misdemeanor? You're crazy? She committed an illegal act - she brought drugs. She was lucky that she did not bring cannabis oil to Thailand.

[@inzare.]

As a Chechen, I recommend that you do not go to Chechnya for your safety. Chechens silently endure all this tyrant power.
