New video on our channel: Chechen Traditions and Values. The Arbi Amerkhanov Family House Museum – a story told from the heart

The fifth and final part of the video from the Chechen Republic filmed by the teamPIONERPRODUKT.by is a heartfelt tour of a unique family house-museum in the village of Gekhi in the Chechen Republic, where we'll be met by Arbi Abazovich Amerkhanov. In this video, we'll immerse ourselves in the atmosphere of the past, learning how our ancestors lived, how they plowed the land with oxen, threshed grain with a special wooden device with quartz stones, baked corn tortillas, and cooked food in ovens.
We'll discuss the process of harvesting, drying, and processing corn, which is dried for almost a year and stored in wicker baskets for ventilation. We'll watch a manual corn husking machine in action and separate the kernels from the cob. Then, we'll see the oven used to bake corn tortillas and dry MEAT , and learn about the HEALTH benefits of coarse corn FLOUR.
In a dialogue with Alexander from CANADA, we draw a parallel with the traditions of growing grain crops in Belarus (flax, wheat, buckwheat, lupine) before the advent of corn, as well as with the production of linseed oil.

The museum is filled with household items from the 1930s to the 1970s—from a wooden plow and oil churn to a cart, a thresher, an antique bicycle, children's toys, and national clothing.
Arbi Abazovich displays a unique stone with verses from the Koran and messages in Arabic, found near his house, as well as antique hats, weapons, children's toys, and furniture used by his grandparents. Particular attention is paid to the theme of respect for elders, family traditions, and table and household etiquette.
The main room of the house displays a dagger, belt, and hats, symbolizing a man's maturity and status in Chechen society. The hat determined a man's age and status: up to 60, they wore one style of hat, and after 60, another, signifying wisdom and the status of the eldest in the family.
The spirit of ancestors reigns in this house; a special connection between times and generations is felt here.

At the table, we'll talk about honey, the Chaban brand. Chaban unites both beekeepers and sheep breeders! We'll learn why honey is never sold, but given as sadaqah.

The video is filled with stories about the traditions of the Chechen people, the wisdom of elders, upbringing, nobility, and modesty. it conveys an atmosphere of respect, hospitality, remembrance, and pride in one's heritage. There is no pathos here, but rather a profound humanity shared by a man who preserves not just objects—but the soul of time.
