I know this is ancient history, but I've only just read it.

Chechen Russia, or Chechnya, is a small republic of Russia in the Caucasus region.

It lies adjacent to Georgia on its northeast border across the Causasus mountains, and its capital is Grozny. if you find it on the map, you've found Chechen. It's known to have been inhabited for at least 40,000 years.

In the 90s, after the fall of the USSR, they fought for independence (see: first and second Chechen wars), but were vastly outnumbered and outgunned by the Russian army.

I would, however, love to know the castle used. It's just lovely. :)
