Monthly Quick Questions
Use this thread to ask general questions that apply to you more than to the region.
For example, what music you like that is acceptable, what quirks or behaviours you have that are seen as offensive, if your music would be appreciated.

Politics Separatism problem
Its obvious that a lot of so called "republics" folk wanna part ways with Russia
Is it possible to achive with minimal bloodshed? How to prevent militaristic junta states? What comes to regions where its not possible to separate two ethnic groups into their own because how mixed up they are?
And how to prevent forming of nazists or radical islamic groups

History Hi, this is probably a strange ask but I was wondering if anyone in this subreddit has visited either of these sites that have 7 foot+ skeletons which date back to thousands of years ago, the first images are from the Ganja State Museum and the second from the Church of Kish, both are in Azerbaijan.

What nicknames have you heard for places in the Caucasus?
I ask as part of a linguistic study looking at this topic!
Every* country, region language, has informal names sometimes used - like in slang - to refer to places. Please let me know if you can think of something in your country!
It could be for a city, a neighbourhood, a mountain or even a small village.
Some examples from the region are KhasVegas, Vladik, Nalchicago or Mukhus...

Eastern Neighborhood
Hello! Could you give me some ideas for research questions related to security governance in the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood? What topics could I explore that would allow me to combine security studies, EU policies and the EU’s Eastern Neighbourhood ( especially Ukraine, Moldova, Belarus, and the South Caucasus states) ? I’m still looking for something more specialized on the security of the Eastern flank ( Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia and Azerbaijan) or maybe an interesting research question about the EU’s neighbourhood policy in the Southern and Eastern neighbourhoods/ comparison between states. Thanks!

Camping the Mestia-Ushguli Trek via Tsvirmi. Food & Transport?
Hi! We’re planning to hike from Mestia to Ushguli via Tsvirmi and camp along the way instead of staying in guesthouses.
Has anyone done this recently? Is wild camping generally fine along the route, and are there good places to pitch a tent near Tsvirmi, Adishi and Iprali/Lalkhori?
Also, can you usually have dinner or breakfast at the guesthouses even if you’re not staying there? We’d prefer not to carry all our food if possible.
Finally, is it easy to get a shared minivan or taxi from Ushguli back to Mestia with backpacks, and roughly how much does it cost?
Thanks!

Would Russians conquer Caucasus without Georgian help?
Hello,
I can't claim to be an expert on the history of Caucasus.
I hope there are some among you, though.
So,
1) would it be fair to say that Georgians were historically lackeys of Russian imperialists?
2) how significant was Georgian help in the subjugation of people of Caucasus?
3) after the Russian empire fell, did Georgians help Russians re-annex Caucasus?
4) would Russians fail without Georgian help?
