Chechnnya
The infamous Republic of Chechnya (Чечня or Чеченская Республика in Russian) is surely the most popular of all the Republics of the North Caucasus because of its two wars in the 90’s and huge diaspora in the West mostly. Officially the war is over and Chechnya has much more to offer than dark tourism.
The Chechen Republic is an off beaten track destination, especially if you go beyond the city of Grozny. Very welcoming people, unique culture and language, splendid mountains and villages to discover !
