Discovering Russia: Adygea

The Republic of Adyghea is in southern Russia. People who live here are called the Adyghes. They say the Adyghes are one of the oldest peoples in the world. Here people still abduct their brides and bridegrooms, never meeting their future spouse’s parents. Here you can find old table-stones and also meet the first female gunsmith in the Northern Caucasus. Find out more about the Adyghes in this report. <br /> <br />Adygea, like many of the North Caucasus is a land defined by its people. Their brand of hospitality, the passion for dancing and their traditions are unique, inspiring and a constant amazement even to a seasoned traveller like James Brown! It's not his first time in the Caucasus, but James Brown can't get enough of it. He always enjoys the fantastic hospitality, ardor for music and dance and amazing cuisine. In Adygea, James looks at the process of a local specialty - Adygean cheese, visits a tea plantation and takes some lessons in local arts and crafts. <br /> <br />SUBSCRIBE TO RTD Channel to get documentaries firsthand! http://bit.ly/1MgFbVy <br /> <br />FOLLOW US <br />RTD WEBSITE: http://RTD.rt.com/ <br />RTD ON TWITTER: http://twitter.com/RT_DOC <br />RTD ON FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/RTDocumentary <br />RTD ON DAILYMOTION http://www.dailymotion.com/rt_doc <br />RTD ON INSTAGRAM http://instagram.com/rt_documentary/ <br />RTD LIVE http://rtd.rt.com/on-air/
