      Because I am Iranian and as you may know(but I don't know what Russians tell you about your history in schools) your land was a part of greater Iran and you are descendants of Iranian ancestry
      But I am curious about modern-day Daghestani and Chechen people and what they think about Iran
      I know that throughout the past century, these areas islamisized so heavily and they have a rather hate toward anything but Sunni Muslims but just asking you to know

Понимаем, что Иран всегда представлял стратегический интерес россии с тех пор как как великобритания начала расширять свои колонии и могла захватить иран и угрожать границам России, этого никто допустить не мог. Народы Дагестана решили быть в составе России, чем быть под экспансией англосаксов, а Иран лучше иметь хорошим соседом.

      Dagestan people are only legally Russia due to being conquered, and unable to form their own country, but most of their regional heros are those who fought for their own independence. They are essentially a non-Russian minority in Russia, that has been forced to adopt Russian identity. But they are their own people and their own culture.

    Rasul Gamzatov’s book “Dagestan” brought me here. I learned that there are more than 14 languages in Dagestan (avar, lezgin, lak, tat..etc) and learned the names of some of villages like makhatchkala and tsadasa. I was fascinated by Gamzatov’s description of people and rocky mountains of Dagestan. I read about the honorable history of Imam Shamil, may Allah bless his soul. I was introduced to a lot of Dagestani traditions and sayings. The most important, I learned that “Dag”means the mountain, and “stan” means the land, so Dagestan means “mountains land”. I guess Dagestan is a magical cultural fusion. I would like to be there some day. Much love from Jordan. ❤️

    Thank You very much Young lady,
    Russia is a very beautiful country and too many people only point out the ugly. We have much of that in America but our people in those areas do not have the pride of the Russian people.
    If I were to take my motorcycle and tour Russia I would have to pay attention to the restricted areas. As a US Army veteran I am forbidden from your military base locations.
    I do appreciate all that you show us and share with your vlogs.
    At home I restore antique furniture and would just love to see furniture and architecture all over Russia.
    I am grateful for your spirit as you point out all the facets of the regions you travel through. You truly are a great representative of your country.
    Please take care and be safe.
    When i put my seatbelt on and a driver takes offense, I tell them; " They aren't the reason, just the crazy people outside of the vehicle!" I pray at that time they do not take offense.
    You are in my prayers
