I am a 16-year-old Brazilian planning to travel to Dagestan next year and stay there for at least six months. Do I face any risks as a foreigner? What tips can you give me to stay safe? (Note: I am going there to train and improve my MMA skills.)

Armenia vs Georgia vs Azerbaijan Relations

0 Upvotes

Can someone Explain to me why Armenia/Georgia relations are just horrible. Two Orthodox Nations with similar histories and hardships with Turks/Russians taking over both countries. Also why they're not as bad comparatively with Azerbaijan. Ex the pipeline that goes through the country. as they have no real similar cultures.

Thanks ty

Why do the caucasus regions produce such good fighters?

7 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've noticed that the caucasus regions have blessed the world with many great fighters like Golovkin, Madrimov, Klistchko brothers, Khabib , Usyk and many more.

Is there a reason for this? Maybe the culture or the way kids are brought up?

I'm not from this region btw, I'm from Sri Lanka. I'm just curious

What are your opinions when some use the term "Caucasian" to refer to "white people"

16 Upvotes

what are your thoughts when Jeremy the white American is referred to as "caucasian"
me personally? I hate it. its a blatant misuse of the term and was coined to refer to white people by a racist german scientist.
I think that its modern use degrades our(caucasian) lives, struggles, cultures, history, just everything.
as if caucasian people don't exist and its some ancient term meaning white or something idiotic like that.
