Chechnya Isn't What You'd Expect!

🇷🇺 'Don't go to Chechnya!' the UK government website says. For sure you will be kidnapped and killed. Well, it turns out that they don't know what they are talking about. All you will find here is beautiful landscapes, friendly people and great shashlik. Oh, and very persuasive taxi drivers! Big thanks to Ruslan for the tour. Muzhik! 👍🏻
