Maria KATYSHEV Today, when a mass of newspapers of various directions are published, when journalists write about anything, including spreading ordinary gossip around the world, when the pages of the press turn into a battlefield of competing political forces, and streams of dirty revelations spill out onto the heads of stunned readers, it is difficult to imagine that there was a time when the press gave the citizens of the country strictly dosed, checked many times, carefully selected

The old woman is dancing. Graceful dance of a Caucasian woman. Her body is light, like an autumn leaf that has fallen from a tree and plays with the breeze in the September garden.

Ismail KURBAHAZHIEV The village of Çardak is located in southeastern Turkey between the cities of Kahraman Marash and Göksun, at the foot of the Berit Mountains. It was founded almost a century and a half ago by Chechen settlers who moved here from Chechnya, fleeing the Russian-Caucasian war, the fire of which blazed unabated for several decades.
