    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.

    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 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.

      Do you think Chechnya would've been any better as an independent country. It could've just a base for terrorism, just like Afghanistan and Pakistan. That would've destabilized the region.

    I'm from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 and I from this presentation, I think it's a beautiful country, very systemic, it's much better off without MC Donalds or anything of this kind of western culture. I think it's very peaceful and well cultured, Masha Allah beautiful mosques. I believe it's a wonderful country. My warm regards to Chechnya and the people of Chechnya. May Allah swt bless you 💕💕❣️

      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"..............
