| Chechnya A gorgeous and fascinating region that has been ravaged by 14 years of conflict, mainly due to Russia refusing it's independence.

The people are Chechens, a ethnic group in Russia all of whom are Sunni Islam. |
| Dagestan An environment utterly exotic and alien to Russians of the steppe and woodlands, Dagestan boasts astounding cultural diversity, breathtaking and austere mountaintop villages, an ancient history, and a distinct possibility of being kidnapped, and as well as a target for terrorism from Chechen rebels. |

This region is one of Russia's poorest regions, and is home to Kabardians, a people of Circissan ethnicity, and are all Muslims.
