today, on 21st of may, we mourn and remember the victims of the caucasian war and of the circassian genocide.
in 1864, this day was marked by a military parade in honor of the victory in the battle of qbaada and the annexation of circassia by the russian empire.
i have a long twitter thread from last year where i gave a brief description of what happened, but mostly i tried to give a little insight into who my people are, to get the world to know what our culture is. it's in russian and i wonder if i should translate it.
