  • Welcome to Grozny, the capital of Chechnya (Chechen Republic). The Chechen Republic is a Muslim majority autonomous republic in the North Caucasus region of Russia. Unfortunately it is better known for the conflicts of the 1990's and early 2000's, which earnt Gronzy the title of 'the most destroyed city on earth'. Despite the stigma, and the Foreign Office warnings, the Chechnya of today is much changed from the one that hit the headlines a couple of decades back. We went in to get a look at real life in Chechnya and find out what Russia's most infamous republic is really like.

    Guys! Chechnya is the North Caucasus. The Caucasus is one of the most beautiful places on Earth and in Russia. You have lost a lot of impressions without visiting the mountains, mountain rivers, meadows, waterfalls. Be sure to go to the mountains. There is all the power of nature and the majestic beauty of the mountains!

      So we have enough energy available to survive (and then some) X 1000.
      So if you aren't making 1000x more money than you need to pay your basic needs, your money is being taken somewhere.....and cities can rebuild so so fast simply all that wealth inside a destroyed city goes to rebuilding the city because whatever political structure was squandering that wealth before is temporarily gone.

    Me with my wife visited Chechnya in a week long trip in may 2023. We were there for the first time in our lives and also none of us have ancestors from there so it was a bit creepy. The only thing that helped me to think of the region as about a good one is my homie that is Chechen: he is very kind and restrained and... so polite u know. So after the trip we got maybe not in their religion and history that is obviously too huge to wrap in a week of learning it through field trips but into their, what we call it, lifestyle. Like being polite, calm and respectful. And what made us surprised too was that they don't have any alcohol beverages in markets, when we got used to our alcoholic russian mentality with drinkers and alcomarkets everywhere, chechens drink a lot of sodas and spark waters (thankfully to the Caucasus with its springs of water). And also they turned to be a very sporty nation, like now we got why Chechens as well as Dagestan nations are so strong men with good stamina and overall health parameters

    It seems so surreal after the 2 Chechen wars that the city is vibrant and full of life. Also, the long tragic history of the Chechen people shows how resilient, strong, and tough as a nation but deep sadness and emptiness as well for the lost generation for that didn't make it during the war. It makes Timur Mucrayev's songs out of place in today's Chechnya, unlike during the climax of the wars, perhaps peace is best for all.

He keeped on braging about how he k*led chechen civilians, even kids, and how he enjoyed it. I used plagin to find all his comments on CZcams - and amongst neo-nazi comments under the videos of skinheads beating up non-russians and other chauvinistic bulls.t, I found his comment under the Mutsuraev anti-russian song - and you know what? 😂 He was like "There are such a chechens! I adore Mucuraev, even so I'm a russian" - APHAPAHAPAHA 😂

    In fact, it is better to translate Grozny as "formidable," "thunderable," and "threatening".
    The same can be said of Ivan IV, who is often mistranslated as "The Terrible".

      The Groznaya (or city Grozny) fortress was founded on June 22, 1818. The place was chosen 6 versts from the entrance to the Khankala gorge (Khan-Kale tract) - a gorge between two low ridges, which was considered impregnable. The fortress was designed to block the exit of the Chechen highlanders to the plain through the Khankala Gorge. Five thousand Russian soldiers erected a fortress in 4 months. This place was then considered the "hottest" point of the North Caucasus, and therefore the fortress was called Grozny (Thunder).
