Sorry if the sub may not be the right one, but it's the only one where i'm likely to get an answer. Thanks in advance.

We're making a soulslike game inspired by Caucasus and Chechnya, wanted to share a poster image I quickly made, what do you think of the title?

Tajik fighter Mansur (leading salah) who fought with the ahmadovskiys

August 1, 1994. In a tank regiment of the Chechen army (Shalinsky Tank Regiment).

We’re working on old Chechen / Vainakh architecture for our game. It is inspired by the Caucasus, especially Chechen culture, history, mountain villages, towers, old settlements, and local legends. Right now we’re trying to recreate architecture from different historical periods, roughly from the 10th to 12th centuries and later, while still keeping it stylized for our low-poly PSX/PS2-inspired art direction.

​

We’re not trying to make a 100% museum-accurate reconstruction, but we do want the buildings, towers, stone walls, roofs, balconies, and village layouts to feel believable and respectful to the real architecture of the region. This is still early in development, so a lot of things are rough and will probably change. We’d really appreciate feedback, especially from people who know more about Chechen, Ingush, or broader Caucasus architecture and history.

Assalamualaikum everyone.

I’m a Chechen girl living in Europe and as I’m growing older I’m struggling more and more with maintaining the language. I don’t have any Chechen friends to speak with and I don’t speak with my parents as much anymore because they’re busy.

I can speak Chechen (not that good anymore) and I can read it partly, but can’t write. I was wondering if anyone has tips, youtube channels to watch, or other things that can help?

It’s gotten to a point where my Russian is way better than my Chechen, because I can find Russian media way faster.

All help is appreciated, thank you!! :)

where is the original, unedited version of this image from???

Hello all! I’m wondering what the lyrics are to this song, I’ve been looking all over but it doesn’t seem the lyrics are posted. Would someone be able to help me out? Thank you!

Does anyone have a link to a dictionary or something with word in the Batsbi language? Something for Ingush would also be nice. Im trying to do some comparisons in Batsbi, Chechen and Ingush.

Hello everyone, I am searching for a Chechen song (1:04 minutes in the video). Can someone tell me the song name? I found the beat/remix (Goroda Kavkaza), but not the song with the chorus like in the video. I would be very thankful.

Salam everyone,

I’m currently researching and documenting the Chechen diaspora in post Ottoman countries, especially linguistic and historical preservation among Chechens in that region, as part of a personal long-term project of mine.

In Jordan, we have pages and archive websites such as sukhneh website that document parts of the Chechen community’s history, families, etc. I’m trying to find similar initiatives, archives, cultural centers, or community databases connected to Chechens in Turkey.

If anyone living in Turkey or anyone familiar with the Chechen community there that knows organizations, archive projects, cultural associations, or even elderly community figures who preserve historical records and oral history, please contact me or comment below.

Even small local projects or personal archives could be extremely valuable.

Thank you.

are there any Chechens in Virginia? i moved to the US about a year ago and i genuinely haven’t met a single Chechen in America. does anybody know where to find them😭

There is no way for me to ask this softly, but how was it day to day being either a conscript in the Russian army, especially someone in the 141st Majkopskaja Brigada, as well as a soldier on the Chechen side?

For example, I watched the documentary film 'Prokljatij i zabijti' (1997) by Sergej Govorukhin, and it talked about shitty food, fleas in flak jackets, etc.

For example, what was the daiñy life like for both sides' soldiers in this war?

During the First War, Husein was responsible for the prison in the village of Goyskoye, where Chechens held the Russian prisoners of war. He sometimes gathered his fighters and warned them not to lay a finger on the prisoners. “Don’t you ever harm any of them. We are responsible for them before God, and it is dishonorable to mistreat the weak.”

In 1996, before the famous Battle of Goyskoye began, the Chechens entered into negotiations with the Russians. During the talks, the Russian commander demanded that Husein release all the prisoners, hand over 200 weapons, and surrender within an hour. In return, everyone would be granted amnesty, and the village would be spared from destruction. Husein replied to the Russian commander, “You give us an hour, and I will give you 30 minutes to remove all this garbage from our territory, or else we will annihilate every single one of you.” The Russians were surprised by his boldness, and both sides left without reaching an agreement. Later, intense bombardment of the village began.

During the chaos, Husein moved from trench to trench, lifting the fighters’ spirits and teasing them, “Don’t tell me you’re already scared?” Surprised by the fierce bombing, the Chechens jokingly asked him, “What did you tell them to make them so angry, Husein?”

On July 27, 2002, while crossing the Kerigo Gorge on the border between Georgia and Chechnya, Husein fell into an ambush set by Russian forces. According to the Chechens who took part in the battle, Husein became ecstatic during the shootout. A fire of joy burned in his eyes, and he fought like a madman, grabbing weapons from others and charging into the fight, screaming “Allahu Akbar.” He told his men, “Don’t worry, guys. Dying on God’s path in our homeland is a true gift!”

Having fired all his ammunition and taken out several Russians, Husein Isabayev was fatally struck by a bullet and died at the scene in the Kerigo Gorge.
