One thing we love about living in the North Caucasus is meeting other foreigners connected to the region. Most who we meet have real passion and interest in this place and its peoples. Today we talk with one man with unusually strong commitment for Dagestan. Tahseen is the founder of Rise ’N Glide, the first-ever year-round jiujitsu training camp based in Dagestan but for foreigners. He brings groups over to tour and train and get a taste of a life he has come to love. His story is unique and inspiring as is his vision.
Thanks for the shout-out! I’m Anita – an Australian living in Switzerland with a passion for all things Russian (and any of the post-Soviet states). I love your podcast and have listened right from the beginning. I met a guy here in Geneva from Kabardino-Balkaria. Which I had to Google and I found Caucas Talk. Long live tea and shaslik.
