i suppose it's been that way for centuries. of. the church and word for father. also trained his children nephews to handle weapons when they were still very young. being able to handle a gun is one of the most important skills for chechen men. during the chechen war. a group of separatists fighting against russia in a bid to achieve independence for chechnya. but when the gunmen turned ideological into a business by abducting and killing people for money. to the federal forces they

guaranteed amnesty hundreds of gunmen surrendered at that time. to handle weapons. necessarily directed against any particular person it's possible my children. during the war militants abducted and killed. valid revenge not even the prospect of imprisonment or death could break his oath. that killed my son with impunity like to kill them with impunity methods and that justice in doing so. hundreds of families in a caucus is just like the one. many vendettas can be

handed down from generation to generation. special reconciliation commissions have been set up in each district and village in the hope of achieving peace like here in the republic of russia's south and bordering chechnya. where there. is chairman of a reconciliation commission he has personally settled more than fifty family feuds in his district in the past twenty years. he stood his ground even when sworn enemies refused to allow him into their homes because they weren't willing to forgive the murderous some even threatened to kill him. to members of the. when they were killed in a fight it was involuntary manslaughter. only find

out how difficult it is to forgive a murder when somebody of your clan is killed. but you must forgive in any case if good decent or honorable people plead with you on behalf of allah a muslim is supposed to be a forgiving person. the murderous spends more than ten years in prison but when he left he was still fearful of revenge but. dissuaded the old man to forgive the mudra and cool off the feud whew. there was a time when i brought the elders here. a god fearing people. but i wasn't actually there myself when they finally discussed what to do about the matter but at last they all the great that the crime should be forgiven for. we. made a conscious decision to set an example for the entire cox's so that all those

people could be forgiven. the reconciliation ritual as a grand affair. by the side of the vendetta once the events to be filmed the killer is accompanied by elders from his clan and sometimes as many as several thousand people take part. in this case the man caused a fatal road accident he wears a long hooded overcoat symbolizing that he's ashamed to look into the eyes of the family of the victim the hood is removed to signify forgiveness. for the. members of the to cleanse embrace pray together and celebrate their reconciliation cases of involuntary manslaughter easier to forgive than murder.

in the one nine hundred ninety s. separatists established their own interpretation of sharia law they had no use for reconciliation the world was shocked by scenes of public executions summary justice like this was typical in chechnya or the one nine hundred ninety s. . this woman who contracted the murder of her husband is about to be executed by his side is the assassin you have been found guilty under article one six seven and one six eight the sentence is death by firing squad. or interested with the execution neither before nor after have been so visible to the public. in the one nine hundred ninety s. . the supremes shari'a court that facts didn't deter him from admitting his

mistakes when he sided with the federal authorities today he is chechnya and one of its chief peacemakers. says in the holy day if you forgive your muslim brother i will be indebted to you on judgment day. says i will forgive all of your sins that's what's written in the qur'an at the. head of chechnya ramzan kadyrov took a radical step to resolve the problem of blood vendettas he appealed to the people to forgive each other he also instructed the moms to use all possible means to reconcile sworn enemies i am the first week so forty nine reconciliations and after two years there have been five hundred forty five am. anyone committing the. knows that he

will be killed. we asked them to bury the hatchet not just once not just ten times but a hundred we came in every time of day or night to plead with them to come to terms . but they scolded and cursed us they spat at us and shoot us away. they didn't even allow us to approach their home. and we put we hold no grudge against them we took an understanding view of the state of their mind. has two sons according to coke asian tradition children display stripped to be dns to their fathers and help their parents to do the chores. third hussein used to help to when he was born the entire tree guy of clan celebrated the event. he was my first son. when he was born all of us were so happy because he was

a boy while all of my brothers had daughters with. hussein was twenty years old when he was shot and killed by a fellow villager during an argument or march a guy of hope that the peace makers would never visit him. i absolutely had no desire to make up with him my plans all i wanted was to kill that man i didn't care what would happen to me. the murderer was given eighty is but to guy of and to down his own sentence he waited for the day when the man would be released from prison he had already planned out the revenge in his own mind. i have a magine hanging and this memory in him for eight years once that's done i would stuff his remains into a car and take them to his family like i would take them to the market place i

think about it every day and night every hour and every second. with them with little with just the worst thing that could happen to anybody. he has taken away everything. a man without a family is nothing but that. here he is hussein's leading the song this is who say. hussein was religious this old footage shows him among a group of chechens performing a special kind of prayer. bishan was to be a theological scola but that would never be. a little bit. they say time heals all wounds for frankly though this is not quite true. memories of those days will linger deep in my heart. i see him in my dream he says mother i can't go home. not

coming home. you. know who much a guy of nell says present home with his youngest sons and a grandson who is called hussein in honor of his murdered uncle. had to forgive the. spiritual leaders. agreed to. the village and stayed out of his sight. he promised not to chase down the mudra but deep down he could never truly forgive him. the move to do this with you can't even imagine how difficult it is to restrain myself this is

a hellish unbearable leverich i have to be patient and restrained the others like i would restrain a good race horse when i have to restrain my brothers and his brothers. the koch asian vendetta custom came into being long before the advent of islam. locals lived in small mountainous settlements known as watchtower as. their ruins can still be found scattered around the countryside of chechnya and english at the . if anyone committed murder they had to flee their village and seek refuge in one of the more remote watchtower us. sometimes relatives had to flee with them because local custom permitted revenge against the whole family not just the murderer a. vendetta was a restraining factor throughout the centuries no mudra would ever be allowed to go

unpunished. with the economic down in the final months that i. sang i am the breath of life. it will be everything. the israelis.

proved true to his word. to me. on the one hand i felt really. need that my son. taken revenge. on the other hand i felt disappointed because i had made the mother and the father of those our killed suffer.

mother was moved to tears each time her son visited her more than ten years had passed but still she vividly remember that fateful day when a gunman came to take me away. they couldn't find him and took his son ismail hostage instead he has not been seen alive since. when i looked out the window i saw a group of gunmen. i don't know where they've come from. i went there and shouted where are you is my own they told me to get away but i didn't then i saw them tying israel's hands and dragging him out of the house he just looked at me and that was the end of it. his personal bodyguards he wanted to be. a builder they both became

soldiers. overturned by the. youngest brother. customs. take revenge for their father. to be loyal to no one although that my father. after joining the russian troops began his fight against by carrying out special operations looking for explosives and holding that. they have been seven attempts on his life and he's been wounded four times. have always been by his side sharing the risk of protecting him. death or die with me. completely aware of what i'm doing. destined to die i want them to die with

dignity. oh. reflecting on the value of life is not something everyone in the caucuses likes to do on the contrary to dine a family on a muslim values can be seen as a matter of exceptional valor i this is the first time that one of the main objects of mode. from the bid of the prophet muhammad has been brought to. evidence you are ever going to judge it on. such events. like nothing else. several sworn enemies of. reconciliation after their pilgrimage to the prophet's head.

the head of. god's reconciliation as one of the many national projects this time the republic has only a small population. hostile families could be a source of real tension. when your country and its people have very hard time with enemies stand united. physics. this is prompted me to make it clear that bandits. basis if you want to avenge yourself. do it in a different manner join the police force. to eliminate. the motive for their revenge. is eighty two years old he heads one of the most

powerful families in it. he's also head of the republican conciliation commission and seeks to reconcile but refuses to forgive the murder of his son. i spent more than a million dollars trying to find the murderers of my son. i've traveled to. who could have done it and why. we have an idea about who the mastermind is. we don't know who shot him. as a businessman. king because that's what he sold. the opposition leader in english. before leaving his house. because he sensed. both his competitors and political opponents stood to benefit from his death. this is the

last known footage of my sharif before he died he's attending the wedding if is he under saddam who abducted his bride just before she was about to be engaged to another man only someone from a very powerful clan could afford to do that. at the ceremony he had no idea that the card carrying his son actually would be strafed with bullets just a few weeks later. thank. the funeral for much of showed off the signs of the. week. now if the man who masterminded the murder comes

to me. and says that he killed my son. i will forgive him. well but i won't forgive him if i find him after spending a long time looking for him. as things stand now i can forgive him but they. will never do it push. the great grandson who was born soon enough to actually to death was given the same name and has on a. no regards him as the most important person in the household but. he's saying take that camera away. the entire family gets together a special occasions the young women bustle in the kitchen the older ones stay with

the men there's a separate table for the youngsters and the chefs always follow this tradition life goes on. i was. really all ships still present a powerful threat the sprawling plan is engaged in big business. they can never forget that the most important klan member has yet to be avenged. each family has at least three children the old boys the better was that thought to provide better protection for the family when they grow up. was. everyone ready.

after a special operation. his youngest son meets him at the door. eerily prophetic yesterday he will seek vengeance. but today he was summoned to work. went to meet a friend. three bullets in his head. never forgive myself and. i wish i had died protecting my for. myself for the rest of my life. that moment why was i not by my side.

visit to the cemetery with his young son. who already knows that his grandfather and uncle. reverberates throughout the centuries. don't need to be ashamed of it and you don't need to care what people say what's important is that your soul is a piece. doesn't matter who killed my father everyone should take responsibility for their actions. if it turned out that the former comrades in arms had masterminded his death they had never forgiven his betrayal when he sided with federal forces. the special unit killed the gunman several months later. my only regret

is that he didn't do it himself. and so for now at least modern secular laws and the old ways of the mountains continue to live side side by . if the main competitor on the market is mother nature. may customers struggle with to. fight for each drop from an old dirty supply.

let people think i are prices pure or want to. lie on our teeth. they use it up there and wash their hands in it and flush their toilets when the same water that misleads is selling and spraying water. on your life should be on the face i think i feel. a pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure.
