The History of Dagestan

Dagestan - it's a republic, but it's also the southernmost tip of Russia. It's home to 3.1 million people, that speak over 30 languages, belonging to 80 or so nationalities. You may have never heard of Dagestan, or you may have thought that there's nothing to this place. But that's really not the case.
I think it's time we learn a little bit about the fascinating history of Dagestan.

I am very pleased that foreigners are studying about such small nations, we Dagestanis have different languages, but one blood, peace to all from an Avar from Dagestan

This video contains some minor issues.
1. The Udi people as the last descendants of the Caucasian Albania was an idea - and subsequently promoted - by Wolfgang Schulze and Jost Gippert; simply because they "deciphered" the Gospel written in the ancient "Albanian" language. This theory does not gain any support by Russian academics.
2. The name Ałwanir is the Armenian denomination of ancient "Albania" (see Movses Khorenaci scripts)
3. The christian religion spread out very early in the Caucasus. All Azerbaijan was full of churches, now only the ruins remain.
4. Islam was embraced gradually (Jan Potocky).
5. The Daghestani (and the Caucasus in general) is a very colourful area. What is relevant, the distinction between indigenous people (Daghestani) from people of Daghestan (Turkic, Indo-European, etc...).

Am I correct that much public support for Russia is growing in Chechnya and elsewhere in North Caucasus?
