today, on 21st of may, we mourn and remember the victims of the caucasian war and of the circassian genocide.

in 1864, this day was marked by a military parade in honor of the victory in the battle of qbaada and the annexation of circassia by the russian empire.

i have a long twitter thread from last year where i gave a brief description of what happened, but mostly i tried to give a little insight into who my people are, to get the world to know what our culture is. it's in russian and i wonder if i should translate it.

How do you know I’m an Eastern European (or Central-Eastern European) fan of A Song of Ice and Fire, Game of Thrones series, Fire and Blood books, House of the Dragon and generally all of the Planetos universe by George R.R. Martin?

I have a headcanon that the Valyrians, including the Targaryens, have not only a culture inspired by the Byzantine culture, but also by the Caucasian cultures. By Caucasian, I mean actual cultures of the Caucasus mountains, not the wh*te s*premacy sh*t you get in the West.

This means that the houses from the Old Valyria, including the Targaryens, have their own distinct dances and music which are performed and played only at their balls and feasts, and those dances are inspired by Georgian, Chechen, Circassian, Dagestani etc. music and dances.

I mean, c’mon, wouldn’t they all look majestic while performing dances like Kartuli, Tsdo, Qarabsha, Samaia, Simdi and many other dances from the Caucasus? (Not to mention the infamous Legzinka?)

Grab some links of the Sukhishvili Georgian National Ballet:

I just wish that we could see Rhaenyra dancing Kartuli with Laenor on their wedding or Aemond performing Tsdo, okay?

Or Daemon dancing Kartuli seductively with Rhaenyra on her wedding day to Laenor

Just kidding I just want to dance Kartuli with Ewan Mitchell as Aemond

And preferably see him performing Tsdo

Traditionalism vs. Assimilation Among Indigenous Peoples of Siberia.

As is the case for many indigenous groups around the world, native peoples of Siberia struggle to fit into the modern global village while retaining their ethnic identity and cultural distinctiveness. Since the end of World War II, the indigenous peoples of Siberia have had a special legal status which allows for certain “affirmative action”-like quotas and benefits. However, the main aim of these policies was to integrate ethnic minorities into the all-Soviet people and to inculcate the “new Soviet man” mentality. Compulsory boarding schools, where children from different ethnic groups were brought together from the age of seven in a collectivist environment, often served as the hotbed of such Sovietization. The effect on native culture was disastrous. But, as James Forsyth in his A History of the Peoples of Siberia points out, “Russification began even before this, in kindergartens, where most nurses and teachers were Russian speakers. Even where some of them were natives, however, there were cases when children or the nurses themselves were reprimanded for using their native language” (here the parallels with Native North American languages are obvious). In the Soviet Union, it was believed that minority languages and cultures would die out under communism, and that “nationalism can only be bourgeois”. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, a number of new laws have been adopted whose goal is to preserve ethnic distinctiveness of indigenous peoples. But can the tables be turned?
