So the painting continues on in my new, purpose built painting and wargaming studio. But today, let’s have a look at something else.
I have found a travel video on YouTube, where a seeming successful YouTube video blogger takes a trip to Dagestan and goes up into the mountains to visit an abandoned mountain top town. However, there were still residents into the noughties living there. Worth a watch for the stunning scenery and amazing buildings where people lived out their lives generation, after generation for hundreds of years.
I recommend skipping to 10 minutes in, to see the interesting bit. The Murid mountain top settlements were known as Aouls or Auls. They were fortified villages and towns that initially, the Russians struggled to deal with for well over a decade.
