Hi I am from sweden but I have allot of interest in the circassian country. I think the culture and language is very unique. And also the beautiful nature with all the mountains. I really hope I can visit one day.❤

On a morbid topic but its a really well made film. Greetings to my Caucasian brothers from Armenia, we had a similar experience in 1915.

I’m Circassian, I wish I can learn my language

Hi! I am Circassian from turkey.I'm Kabardey. We, the Circassians, were exiled to the Ottoman lands because of the Russians. We have fought with the Russians for centuries, but the Russians, who are the last and many times, won. There was no description of the brutality of the Russian soldiers who entered the Circassians' home three or five. Circassians were put in boats and sent to the Anatolian port of our capital, Sochi. At least 600, 000-1, 000, 000 people died on the road. This is literally ethnic cleansing. Genocide. But nobody knows. Everyone should know and recognize this crime against humanity committed by the Russians. Defend the rights of the Circassians, rather than defending Armenians and Jews. Is the United Nations unaware of this incident or does it not know?

Russian government is denying all that, but the greatest proof of what "so called Circassian" really existed and Circassia-Agygea is there true homeland, that if you ask anyone regardless of his age and in any different country they immigrated to, like Turkey and some Middle east countries (Because of the Russian Circassian Genocide) the answer is one, they all will share the same story about the immigration after the hundreds years of bloody war against Russia followed lastly by the genocide. And for sure they will share the same language and culture as will.

Unfortunately there wasn't media at the time, and the nation was consumed in war leaving no time for documentation.  
HOPEFULLY it will not be a dead cause, and at least we will gain some world recognition.

Well I know that my family fled to Azerbaijan during the Russian invasion of North Caucasia

Georgia is the only country that recognizes this tragedy. That is crazy. 💔

[koseku]

Circassian are proud people, i hope they didn't have to migrate our country

[apologiamixer]

I notice there is no mention of the cult of Islam but for the crescent on the headstone.

Too much words. Compactness is a sister of talent, did you hear such a saying?

Many of my friends are Adygi and they love living in Russia and Russia itself, so you give yourself too much stress trying to excavate the past.

[lennoxRU]

Circassians are called Adygi nowadays have everything their need, you seem to be misinformed.

[lennoxRU]

Apparently you prefer comfort in Canada (or wherever you live) over beloved fatherland and can't even speak the language you refer to as your native. So it's definitaly not your land.

Exile and Exodus do not count as genocide.
On the contrary, what Chechens experienced during Tsarist Russia, the Soviet Union, and the subsequent uprising and the independence movement is the result of the cultural genocide of the Chechens by the Russian authority's heavy-handed tactics. The only way Chechens earned their hard-won freedom, autonomy and full right to practice their faith in their land, is the result of many Chechens "heroic" sacrifice, which to be fair the Russian authority ceded and accepted the Chechens demand on amicable terms.
On the contrary, the Circassians saved themselves from the self-imposed exile and exodus.
