I live in Switzerland and I work with a chechnyan young man. I can only say he is incredibly respectful and humble, always ready to help, and i have never heard him talking bad about anyone or anything. He is the best in my team.

The reason that the bride's relatives aren't at the wedding actually stems from the old tradition where the groom's family would come pick up the bride at her home and bring her to their home. From that day on she 'belongs' to the family of her husband. And the bride's family would be sad that she left, which is why they weren't in a celebratory mood, since they 'lost' a daughter. So they would stay home and cry. Whereas the groom's family would be very happy because they just got their 'new daughter'. So they would throw a party and celebrate.

The only connection I knew was Chechnian war, ridiculously! While the practices seem sharply at odds with the freedoms I am familiar; the underlying principles in this society are a curious mix that would normally be seen in a closed community, like the Amish, Mormons, or even some extreme fundamentalist Jewish sectors. There feels little if any covetousness, of more liberal societies. In Chechnia, people live alongside other communities, it would appear, whilst sheltering their own. There is a deep honesty revealed here, though it goes so far, as to raise concerns about what exactly happens, when marital difficulties, do arise? Nonetheless, beautiful!

So strange as Islam was once a great religion 800-1200 a.d. and dominated science as Christian Europe burned non-believers at the stake. In 1250 a.d. when Islam started killing scientists and burning books (like Christianity did earlier) and turned inward to their religion they have been on a downward path for over 700 years. Name one thing Islam has given the world in the last 700 years and i will sit here and listen...i feel so sorry for the women and sure the men are very happy.

Во вторых, ещё как уничтожались и как раз на примере ингушей и чеченцев это можно проследить, и в плане культуры, и в плане народа (отсылка к ссср’овской депортации, в тот период уничтожались книги с упоминаниями народа, раскрадывались национальные украшения из домов переселенцев, пришли в упадок такие национальные ремесла как войлочное ковроделие и золотная вышивка, и тд, а также отсылка к чеченским войнам в период которых было уничтожено и утеряно невероятное множество исторических предметов представляющих культурную ценность для ингушей и чеченцев из Грозненского музея, например, в музее хранилось несколько экземпляров традиционного ингушского женского головного убора - курхарс, и те события пережил только один из них, до недавнего времени он был единственным сохранившимся до наших дней экземпляром, были утеряны работы народного творчества, например в музее хранились различные настенные украшения и войлочные ковры работы Хази Ведзижевой, сейчас их у нас увы нет, а также было уничтожено много картин местных художников, например у чеченского художника Шамиля Шамурзаева «погибло» более 500 его картин, что тоже является частью культурного наследия), ну и в третьих, народы тоже ещё как уничтожались, посмотрите на численность малых народов Сибири и почитайте их историю, или историю черкесов и их геноцида во времена кавказской войны, или же почитайте об их племенах, которые из-за тех событий были полностью уничтожены, + многочисленные ссср’овские депортации разных народов, от корейцев до крымских татар.

@@kkk-rx6xh вы удивитесь, но части культурного наследи уничтожались у всех народов, а уж сколько музеев погорело на планете, да и чеченцы воевали с соседями. Не надо обычное явление выставлять как уничтожение нации. Если на американском континенте уничтожалась культура, там и не осталось ни языков, ни письменности, и население метисировано до неузнаваемости. Это реальный пример.

I am very much pleased to see the Chechen traditions, Cultures and Wedding ceremonies.

Interesting & awesome v-log. Keep it up.

I know few Chechen irl, one is a former work colleage i worked with. They are damn brave and really really strong people. You will rarely find more brave people than them. And once you have a Chechen as a friend, trust me you are safe from anyone on the street. They will jump in easily for you to protect you from harm.

@@williamtarabalka4920 you may not go to jail but certainly you will be socially outcasted Society has its ways of teaching its norms to the uninitiated or the recalcitrant. But yes many of the laws, norms, customs that Muslims follow around the world are similar as they arise from the following of the Quran and the Sunnah of the prophet Muhammad. They are mainly for social cohesion and keeping the members of the society in a frame of safety and security. So you will find youngsters respectful of elders and this is inculcated by behaviour such as standing up in the presence of elders and addressing elders even the siblings by respectful terms rather than call them by their names. Such behaviour sets rules foe family bonding. In return elders take on responsibility for the youngsters and do not think it as a burden. It is a beautiful system and one of the reasons you do not find homeless people or the need for assisted care because families take care of them. Some people may argue that it restricts liberty and all that but then one has to choose the values and Muslims have chosen this way for themselves. This is only a small example of the beautiful interdependent web of societies not only Muslims but Hindus, Christian and Buddhists too in most of Asia.
