For comparison, the second smallest region of Russia, the Republic of Adygea, has an area of ​​u200bu200bunder 8,000 square kilometers. There is also a channel about Adygea, if you haven't seen it yet, take a look, it turned out very funny! Ingushetia is such a family-type republic! In previous videos about the Caucasus, I already mentioned the geographer Strabo, who included the entire Caucasus in his journey and described all the local territories and peoples in his book Geography. Then the same events happened for the whole Caucasus. In the 13th century, the Mongols walked here and later in the 14th century, Tamerlane cleared the territory! Here it should be said that, like many other mountain peoples, the Ingush have such a respectful and unquestioning attitude towards the culture of their ancestors and all pagan rituals that even when accepting Christianity, it was modified and automatically woven into the cults that were familiar to the mountaineers! Many events happened here, which I will tell you about in detail in this video. And, of course, I will tell you about the Nakh peoples. The Nakh peoples include not only the Chechens and Ingush in Russia, but also the Batsbi and Kistins in Georgia. In fact, initially this is one ethnic group, one people with practically one language, simply due to the specifics of the development of the Caucasus, over time this people split into several different ones! There were many reasons for this, but the main reason is precisely these legends that the Ingush are so proud of. But let's move on a little further. It is interesting that in the 18th century the Ingush settled in the foothills and Russia continued to strengthen its influence in the Caucasus and here it must be said that the Ingush were among the first to swear allegiance to Russia. This happened in 1770, that is, 4 years earlier than the official oath of allegiance to Russia, the Ossetians, allies of Russia! It was not about Ingushetia suddenly becoming part of Russia, no! Influential Ingush families, taipas, gathered and the council of elders of these families concluded an agreement that the Ingush could live and settle in peace on the plains along the right bank of the Terek, in exchange for which they were obliged, if necessary, to field equipped detachments of at least 1,000 people! And also to ensure the unhindered passage of Russian troops through their territories. during the Imam Shamil uprising, which I have already talked about a lot and will talk about in the following videos from Dagestan!) part of the Ingush fought on the side of Russia, while another part of the same people fought no less heroically against the Russian troops, this is once again a word about the heterogeneity of the Caucasus. However, about everything in order in the video. #travel #src
