you think you understand it and then something else you hear sees some other part of it and realize that everything you thought. i'm tired hard. for police officer of cleaning his gun after being on duty is a matter of priority it's almost a ritual for him and he's helped by his seventy year old son. yeah. i want my son to be a soldier everybody in our family has been a military man me my father and even my grandfather in his time it's always been

that way you could say our family loves weapons. it's melican already disassembled a pistol by himself and knows where each individual part goes. he says it's not too heavy for him it's just his hands are too small. this mail is being prepared for adult life in chechnya several generations of the family have followed the chechen code every shooting is answered with another. they have taken revenge for each one of their murdered clan members. guns yes very much so he says are you going to carry a gun i will he says we have always had respect for weapons and i suppose it's been that way for centuries. it's.

also trained his children and 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 ideological business by abducting and killing people for money. to the federal forces after they guaranteed amnesty hundreds of gunmen surrendered at that time.

to handle weapons they might not be necessarily directed against. it's possible my children. during the war. killed. valid revenge not even the prospect of imprisonment or death could break his oath. that killed my son. like to kill them with impunity methods and that justice in doing so. hundreds of families in a caucus is just like the. 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 south and bordering chechnya. 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 murderous. even threatens 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 agreed that the crime should be forgiven. we. made a conscious decision to set an example for the entire caucasus 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. before 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 as 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 have blood has been so visible to the public. in the one nine hundred ninety s. . the supremes court that fact 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 qur'an that 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 koran 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 the also instructed the mums 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 and 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 homes. 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 strict to be dns to their fathers and help their parents to do the chores. third son 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 handed 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 imagine hanging in 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 little with

this the worst thing that could happen to anybody. he has taken away everything. of. a man without a family is nothing that samir. here 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 dreams 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. pleas from everyone of spiritual leaders. agreed to. that he left 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. for mooted that you do have this or that you can't even imagine how difficult it is to restrain myself to prove that this is a hellish unbearable leverage that i have to be patient and restrain the others

like i would restrain a good racehorse 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 mountain the settlements known as watchtower as. their ruins can still be found scattered around the countryside of chechnya and english at the end. 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 murder a. vendetta that was a restraining factor throughout the centuries no mudra would ever be allowed to go unpunished.

teaches his seven year old son to drive a car the boy can barely contain his excitement when he gets the chance. ask for permission to drive the car i first car when i was nine or ten years old i just tell him to wait another couple of years and then he can drive by himself. apart from driving is my i was taught to be by taking responsibility for what he say's he's often told about what his grandfather did he vowed to avenge his son's death proved true to his word. my father often said to me listen my son if you say something if you let out a single word be sure to make good on a. vendetta

is a procedure strictly regimented by sharia law there are explicit rules about who should be. dictate what kind of weapon must be used and how. did not comply with the accepted rules. when he killed his son's murder by blowing up a car. also died. on the one hand i felt relief because nobody could now say that neither my sons nor myself had taken revenge. on the other hand i felt disappointed because i had made the mother and the father of suffer the. mother was moved to tears each time her son visited her more than ten years had passed but still she vividly remembered that fateful day when

a gunman came to take away. they couldn't find him and took a 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 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 his miles hands and dragging him out of the house he just looked at me and that was the end of it. thief. they both became. the youngest brother.

customs. take revenge for their father. to be loyal to no one other than my father. there to go. after joining the russian troops began his fight against carrying out special operations looking for explosives and holding them. 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 role muslim values can be seen as a matter of exceptional talent i thought this is the first time that one of the main objects of. from the bid of the prophet muhammad has been brought to. the to the just one ever did i 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 national projects tiny republic has only a small population. and hostile families could be

a source of real tension. when your country and its people have very hard time with enemies stand united. physics. 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. for their revenge. is eighty two years old he heads one of the most powerful families and. he's also head of the republican conciliation commission. seeks to reconcile but refuses to forgive the murder of his son. i spent

more than a million dollars trying to find the murders 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. because that's what he sold. the opposition leader in english. before leaving his house. because he sensed danger. 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 of his youngest son adam 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 car carrying his son actually would be strafed with bullets just a few weeks later. thanks. to funeral. 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 bush. the great grandson who was born soon enough to actually to death was given the same name and his own. no regards him as the most important person in the household but . he's saying take that camera away. the entire family gets together for a special occasion it's 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.

still present a powerful threat the sprawling cleansing gaged in big business. they can never forget that the most important klan member gets to be avenged. each family has at least three children all boys the better was that thought to provide better protection for the family when they grow up. was. everyone already. after a special operation. his youngest son meets him at the door. eerily prophetic yes he will seek vengeance. yes.

but today he was summoned to work. his father went to meet a friend unprotected it was there that a contract killer three bullets in his head. died. never forgive myself. i wish i had died protecting my father. myself for the rest of my life. at that moment why was i not by my father's side. visits the cemetery with his young son. who already knows that his grandfather and uncle lie that.

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. 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. special unit killed the gunman several months later. only regret is that he. 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 . history over the south korea is after saakashvili steps down georgia's new political leaders find a way to develop relations with a south a say to an apostle. was would it be possible at least in theory a for these nations to unite. and would russia recognize the territorial integrity of georgia in this case. we want them to live in peace. but it's up to them with signs we want relations they will have one another a plea deal we won't interfere with our procedures.
