Imam Shamil- The Lion of Dagestan
Shamil is still a Hero in the Mountainous Regions of Georgia, and of course in the whole Northern Caucasus. The title Imam made him the Religious and Common Leader of the Mountain People of Dagestan and Chechnya. He was famous for his courage, honesty and resistance, his devotion to Religion and to his Homeland: Dagestan and Chechnya. The Army of 200.000 Tsarist troops under the command of Prince Bariatinski couldnt defeat him before they took the help of the Georgian Generals Vakhtang and Grigol Orbeliani and their troops including the Mountain experienced Khevsurs and Tushs between others. Shamil got driven to his Mountain fortress Gunib in Dagestan, where he surrendered in front of the superiority. He met later with the Tsar, got exiled to Kaluga, but in 1869 permission to retire to the Holy town Mecca. He died while visiting Medina in 1871. Read further on the heroic Imam Shamil at Wikipedia in English
and in Deutsch
This is a photo of Shamil and his son from 1859 by the Photographer Alexander Ivanitski
found on Photomuseum Georgia.
The famous Georgian Painter Niko Pirosmani (1862-1918) made two impressive paintings on Shamils history, they belong today to the State Museum of Fine Arts of Georgia, Tbilisi and I found those images on the profound website on Pirosmani by Tatiana and Vera Kofyan : The Russian Avant- Garde Gallery

"Shete Guluhaidze was famos tushetian warrior and chieftain. With his mobile group of highlanders he made hundreds of raids into territory of Shamil's imamat... Together with detachments of khevsurian, mtiuletian and pshavian warriors he carried out many military operations considered impossible by commanding staff of Russian Generals. Some of the local stories about Shete Guluhaidze were recorded by famous russian intelligence service agent and spy Zisserman ( "25 years in Caucasus" and " History of K. regiment", and also by Alexander Duma in his " Kaukasus"

King David the Builder's fight against 300.000 Seljuk Turks at Didgori
King David the Builder’s army of 40,000 Georgians, 15,000 Kipchak auxiliaries, 500 Alan mercenaries and 300 French Crusaders in a battle against 300.000 Seljuk Turks at August,12 in 1121. Read about this battle at Wikipedia
Even thrilling is the history of the Alans,the forefathers of the Ossetian today.
Did those French Crusaders later settled in the Region of Khevsureti and influenced the strong use of crosses, chain mail, bucklers and swords ?
Khevsurian warriors, ca. 1910

To marry your beloved in Georgia, in the Caucasus ?
Just married ? Enjoy an outstanding honeymoon in Georgia !
Marrying in Georgia brings luck and health for a lifetime to you and your beloved, to your future kids ! Sounds funny ? Try it !
Christianity rules in Georgia since 337 AD, the second state after Armenia, wich took Christianity official as States Religion. The ancient Georgian Churches are monuments of Humanity, Tolerance and Resistance over the centuries. Inside a church like Dshvari
(The cross) you feel the power and imagination of a Great History immediatly.
The Georgian Land between the Greater and Lesser Caucasus Ranges is a holy Land: Soaked with wine, soaked with Love, soaked with hospitality, soaked with blood. This sounds maybe exaggerated, but one feels that at ones by landing on the bumpy airfield in Tbilisi with its wild clouds behind. What kind of people are the Georgians ? First of all hospitable hosts, as every guest is sent by God himself. They are warm, high-spirited, intelligent, strong friends
and strong enemies.
"The Georgians are very warlike and strong people and have numerous knights and warriors... In spite of existing in a totally hostile environment of infidels, they remain fearless. On the contrary - others are afraid of them and do not easily risk to offend them in any way. They are called Georgians, according to the name of the Holy Knight, St. George, whose name they esteem and respect immensely, particularly prior to the battles they are going to join..." (Bernhard von Breidenbach, 15th century German author) Source: Kartuli Idea- The Georgian Idea by Dr. Levan Urushadze
Want something different from what everyboy does ?
Relax in Georgia, get indulged in some of the best Hotels of the world, ride a horse with your bride, be the star on a Georgian table, drink the holy red wine, eat Khachapuri, Salads and Shashlyk, let a horse race going on only for you, enjoy biggest contrasts of cultures and landscapes, go out in lively Tbilisi and see the next day the world beneath you from the top of Mount Kazbegi, where Prometheus had been chained, where the Amazons ruled. Watch a Caucasian bear, buy a silver Georgian cross your Lover, let the sun, the mountains and the clouds of the Caucasus lead your future destiny. Get the real strength for your rich life in front of yours.

Holy Chalices of the Khevsurs
Silver Chalices are used at the Atengenoba feasts in Juli for dark holy brewed beer. The beer is made by the Oldest of the Valley, the Khevisberi and his 1 or 2 helpers. Some of the Chalices are so old, that even the Khevisberies can not say its age.

The monk Giorgi from Vardzia
Yesterday I had a nice conversation with Giorgi from Vardzia monastery in the Southwest of Georgia. He lives in Vardzia together with five other monks. He is a very sympathic man and he gave me his greetings from my friends Megi and Ralph from Berlin, who met him at Vardzia half a year ago. I was very surprized, that he called me by my name Heiner...

Khevsurs- Chewsuren
I am impressed that quite some searches from far abroad asking the Khevsurs. Here is a photo from a small Atengenoba ceremony near Shatili in July 2004. The men are praying. The Khevisberi ('Oldest' of the Valley) with the cross on his breast leads the ceremony. Soon he will sacrifice the sheeps cutting the throats, and spilling the blood around the small christian church-temple, outside the right border of this image. The men will take the sheeps home later, where will be prepared various dishes.
Here are some more photos of Khevsurs and Khevsureti and the Atengenoba feast.

Plov, Shashlyk and Burgers in Uzbekistan
My opinion on Uzbek dishes
Thanks to Nathan for his interesting post on the best Plovmaker from Tashkent, I want to add my own experiences on the field of Uzbek/Tajik kittchen. I definitly missed the plov by Nurshod Asymov's, but I am sure it tastes great. Sure, Plovmaker are very proud on their own talents and it truly needs a lot of talent, wisdom, experience and feeling to make a good plov. Dont think you can do it immediatly good after reading some recipes. The main problem for making a good plov is to get the rice, wich is best from Khorezm, and the oil, what is best if it is from cotton, but sunflower oil might replace. Of course you can hardly get any beef the sort it is in Central Asia or the Caucasus in America or Europe either. Every region in Uzbekistan has its own plov, with quite some differences from other regions. Famous of course is the plov from Tashkent, from Samarkand and from Bukhara. My best plov (what of course is a question of luck and taste) I eat in Fergana, on the main road 2 kilometers before crossing the border into the town on the right hand sight. There I also eat the best salad in my life, compared with dozens of salads I eat in all over Europe and the Caucasus. The second best plov I got in Bukhara, the third best in Samarkand, and in Tashkent, I've been probably at the wrong places. But two things where great in Tashkent: Horse meat and Horse sausages and I eat there often, you wouldn't expect, the best Burgers of my life at Mir, a known warehouse and pizzeria in the centre of Tashkent. Its called simple the "Mir Burger", wich you can get also as a Double. I recommend to order 2-3 pieces.
For Shashlyk I always prefered the so called 'Molotij' 'hacked', like in other countries you call Kebab, or Kabab, but in Uzbekistan its different with lots of onion and was the best until very recently, when I was surprized to eat the now best Kebab I ever eat in the small South Armenian town Vayk (also I eat one of the best trouts there). So the best smashed, or hacked Shashlyk- the Molotij- in Uzbekistan, I think you eat at the Bazaar in Urgut, some 40 km South of Samarkand near the Tajik Border, if you can ignore the dirt on this Bazaar and its kittchen, I always had to flee my wife and eat it secretly ;-)
My former boss in Tashkent (a German) always said that the Uzbek kittchen was one of his main reasons to stay further in Uzbekistan.

A trip to Ingushetia by Martin Kaul
Martin Kaul in "Die Zeit" on Ingushetia (In German)
This report from Ingushetia is good written and haunting, allthough the headline "Why the Russians will loose the Caucasus" is not really answered and filled with some vague speculations.
I liked the sharp observations on the state of agony of officials and simple citizens of the Northern Caucasus and the ability of the author to balance facts with concernment. The Caucasus, Ingushetia, the kindness of its people and the harshness and absurdity of its daily life seems to make the stranger very fast involved and even sympathizing. I personally hope Martin Kaul will soon come back here again and write more. Those unsolved problems can not get enough publicity. A small mistake: Ingushetia is to the west of Chechnya.

Cossacks again in the Caucasus ?
Whats the sense
of giving paramilitarian units like the Cossacks, a restoration in the Caucasus in the 21. century ?
Slaughter, hacking, smashing and killing again to the Mountain tribes ? I have to read my favourite Alexandre Dumas again. Here a painting of a cossack from 2001, its title is "Father"

The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire
A great book and website
I found this interesting website about a book by Ants Viires, saving information about the smallest nations of the former Sovietunion, including some Nations from the Caucasus Region like the Abazians, the Akhvakhs, the Georgian Jews, the Nogays and others. The best source I found about those small but great nations.
