Dagestan Girl

A window to another world: a girl in the old village of Chokh. The Chokh settlement is one of the oldest in the North Caucasus. The Great Silk Road passed through Chokh. The first fortress was built about 700 years ago. The architecture of the village attracts thousands of tourists: the houses here are like honeycombs, the roof of one is the foundation for the other.
