The Kabardin (Circassian / Adyghe) are the main ethnic group of Kabardino-Balkaria, a small republic in the south of the Russian Federation. Approximately 600,000 Kabardin live in Russia. These proud people are brave warriors and skilful land tillers. Their history is a history of battles for freedom, honor and the right to live in accordance with centuries-old traditions which have long since become their way of life.

Circassian Film: Bela – Tragedy of a Circassian Princess

In (Kabardian) Circassian, with English subtitles (by Centre for Circassian Studies).

Based on M. Lermontov’s classic work “Bela: A Hero of Our Time”.

Directed by Stanislav Rostotsky. Maxim Gorky Film Studio Production, 1965.

Kabardian Text & Songs: Aleem K’ischoqwe

Bela: Silvia Berova
Kazbich: Sulambek Mamila
Pechorin: Vladimir Ivashov
Kabardian Prince (Bela’s father): Barasby Mula
Azamat (Bela’s brother): Rolan Borashvili
Kabardian Nobleman: R. Kushmezoqwe
Maksim Maksimich: Alexey Chernov

Nestled in the original film are significant Circassian culture and folklore segments (about a third of the material), which have been pieced together to make a “Circassian” film. The setting of the novelette is Kabarda and the film was shot there. Kabardian text and songs were written by the famous Kabardian writer and poet Aleem K’ischoqwe. Also, Circassian actors played principal and support roles. Non-Circassian actors (the Russian officer Maksim Maksimich spoke Kabardian) were coached to speak Circassian. The Circassian music, dances (dancers were coached and supervised by B. Qashirghe), and costumes are authentic, and obviously the production team went out of their way to bring about a very high quality film.

Circassian Circle is an English Country Dance published by Chivers in 1822 (The Handbook of Modern Dancing). But the earliest description I was able to copy was in Wilson of 1852 (The Art of Dancing). https://www.google.co.uk/books..../edition/The_Art_of_

This is a Scottish version which first appeared in RSCDS Book 1 in 1924 (one of the first dozen Scottish Country Dances).

This appears to be the original name for what we now call a "Sicilian Circle". Today we think of it as a way of dancing in a circle rather than longways that can be applied to almost any minor set dance. But once upon a time there was an actual dance of that name.

The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance is slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.

These are excerpts from a documentary I made in 1994 for UK TV, but the thoughts and expressions contained in it are applicable forever

Çerkes Soykırımı'nı İstanbul sokakları ve duvarları hatırlatacaktır. 153 sene önce de bu soykırımın mağdurlarının sesleri ile yankılanan bu duvarlar 153 sene sonra da bu soykırıma şahitlik edecektir. #unutmadıkunutulduk

Every year the Circassian community remembers May 21, 1864. The day we commemorate the Circassian Genocide. Following a 100-year war with Russia, our ancestors were defeated and forced to leave our homeland. The end of the war wasn’t the end of our suffering though. Our exodus was marked with starvation, disease, and death.

I’m not a big fan of living in the past, but I do believe in learning from history. I mention this today because I believe if we're looking at these tragedies in the wrong way, and if we change how we look at them we'll so much more positive change and personal satisfaction

Most if not all groups have tragic events like this in their history. The Jewish Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the genocide of the Native Americans, the slaves brought to the West from Africa, and the list goes on. Including more recent tragedies like 9/11.

These commemorations bring us together, to remember and grieve. There’s also usually some blame directed at another group, and maybe even a plea for them to make things right. We then walk away for another year, with little to nothing changed.

Waiting for someone else to solve our problems is a huge missed opportunity. Entrepreneurship taught me nobody cares about me and my business more than me, whether customers or employees. Similarly, nobody cares about our traumas and genocides more than us. So, if we’re waiting for justice, we’re going to wait a long time.

Better yet why not take this time, these emotions, this desire to see the wrongs made right, and do something about it. So, what can we do to make things better? Can we launch some program or initiative to improve the situation of our communities? Can we partner with others to do something even bigger? Are others already doing great work that inspires us, that we can donate our time or money to support? There are so many options, for all types of lifestyles and preferences.

I love the idea of taking wrongs and making them right. Taking powerlessness and turning it into empowerment. Taking pain and turning it into joy and happiness.

How about you? Please share ways you’ve turned wrongs and worked to make them right?

Remember!

شه شن :
شه شن تعني شخصية الحصان، ومن اعز على الفارس الشركسي من حصانه؟. يقلده في كل شيء، مشيته و وقفته و حركاته فهو رفيقه في السلم و الحرب. و شه شن رقصة حافظ عليها شراكسة المهجر و برعوا في أداءها و الحفاظ على موسيقاها فغدت عنوان محافظة شراكسة المهجر على تاريخهم و فلكلورهم.

2. Shehshan:
Shehshan means the horse personality. And what is dearer to a knight’s heart than his horse? Imitating his moves, his walk, his posture, it is his companion in peace and war. Shehshan is a dance preserved by Circassians in diaspora, they mastered it and its melodies, so it became the title of preserving Circassian history and culture in diaspora.
