(20 Aug 2012) LEAD-IN:
The fighting in Syria is spilling out across the Middle East as refugees flee.
People from one ethnic group, the Circassians are escaping to Russia to find their long lost ancestors in the North Caucasus.
In the 1860s they fled to Syria to escape fighting in their ancestral homeland, and now they are trying to return.
STORYLINE:
Rim Kray is a refugee from Aleppo in Syria, and now she resides in this small, cramped room with her two sons.
She is living in a single room in a sanatorium in Nalchik in Russia's Caucasus region.
The refugee from Aleppo says she was worried for her two sons' safety, so the family left Syria for Russia.
"We were afraid of bombings and armed people who were attacking. So because of the kids we had to leave everything we had there and go away," she says.
In the 1860s many Circassians such as Kray's ancestors fled Russia.
The Circassians fiercely resisted the Russian czarist conquest that ended in the 1860s after decades of scorched-earth warfare, mass killings or expulsions that some historians and politicians consider genocide.
Now, hundreds of Circassians are fleeing war-torn Syria for this remote Russian region of soaring peaks and lush forests.
In the coming months, thousands more are expected to arrive in Kabardino-Balkariya, a Caucasus province the size of Maryland with a population of less than 900,000, two-thirds of which is ethnic Circassian.
Circassians were widely dispersed in the Russian expulsions.
An estimated 2 million live in Turkey, another 100,000 in Syria and other sizable populations are in Jordan and the United States. But their sense of ethnic unity remains strong and the pull of their homeland compelling.
The region they have come back to is afflicted by violence, too. The Caucasus republics are plagued by an Islamic insurgency that spread from Chechnya's separatist wars.
A brazen 2005 raid of Islamists on Nalchik left 130 people dead, and Kabardino-Balkariya still experiences occasional small clashes.
Despite the violence, Circassians say they feel comfortable in their ancestral homeland.
But the refugees arriving say the economic prospects in the area are greater than in the Middle East.
Natai al-Sharkas, a 35-year-old Syrian refugee from Damascus says some of the conflict in the Caucasus are similar to the Middle East.
Al Sharkas's great-grandfather Koushoukou, his brother and two cousins were forcibly drafted and sent to the Russian-Turkish war of the late 1870s.
They had to fight Ottoman Turks - fellow Muslims whose sultans supported Circassian resistance and provided refuge for hundreds of thousands of Circassians. After killing his officer in Bulgaria, Koushoukou joined the Turkish military and ended his life in Damascus - part of Ottoman Turkey at the time.
Al Sharkas, which means Circassian in Arabic, used a network of family connections, along with Facebook, to find relatives in Kabardino-Balkariya and other parts of Russia.
He encourages his Syrian relatives to follow him to the Caucasus, although now, because of the fighting, it hardly seems possible.
"It's the same situation in the Middle East, you know, you always have problems almost everywhere, such kind of problems. If it's not some Islamic insurgency, so it will be mafia and criminal activities. So, everywhere in the world you have this situation. The major problem is the economical problem, I believe, and here, I think that Caucasus has the huge opportunity to be developed and to be a very developed area," says al-Sharkas.
Without residence and work permits, they will have to leave the country when their visas expire.

This video is not perfect because the song titles did not match the music being played and the part of history of our people was not aired, however this wonderful event was history by itself because it was the first time that five Circassian songs and music were played on FM radio in the United States for 20 minutes without interruption....

Circassian beauties, or Moss-haired girls as they were sometimes known, reflect a curious legacy of racial stereotyping and sexual titillation. Racial theories of the mid 19th century held that the people living in the Circassian mountains near the Black Sea were examples of the purest stock of the Caucasian race. Legend had it that the Circassians produced the worlds most beautiful white women, who were consequently in great demand for the harems of Turkish sultans.








The long shadow of slavery can also be discerned in this hybrid depiction. American audiences were both intrigued and horrified, given their false association of slavery with Africans, by the fact that Circassian women were among the most sought-after concubines in the Sultans harem - hence the need to make them appear somewhat African. Both African slaves and Circassian slaves were subject to sexual exploitation and this is the point of contact that played so powerfully on white Americans imagination, wrote philosophy professor Gregory Fried.
