▶️’There are some tall tales and myths about us; we are being stereotyped...’ — Tamara Mazayeva, an art historian from Chechnya. The professor dispelled one of the legends in our documentary — she told us how spouses used to be chosen in Chechnya. It was impossible for unmarried girls and boys to meet in private, but marriages were meant to be based on love, not on the choice of parents. For more information, see our video and film ’Chechen Flair’ by Lana Druzhinina and Elena Norkunaite. FOLLOW ? News&Docfilms Channel Source: RT Documentary
