“I saw so many countries, but so unruly and intractable as the Chechens do not exist on Earth! And the only way to conquer the Caucaus lies through conquering the Chechens or rather, through their complete destruction, or it is rather by means of their final fracture!”
“Your Majesty… Mountain people, Chechens, using the example of their independence in most of the subjects of your Majesty, generate rebellious spirit and love for freedom.”
“They aren’t alike Europe or Asia. There is something that makes them unique.”
