14.The gorge of the Cherek valley. Freshfield’s mountaineers passed up this narrow valley and were probably the first western Europeans to visit it.

15. Upper Balkaria today. Ruined houses are visible to the right of the picture.

16. A monument to the residents of the hamlet of Sauty slaughtered by Soviet soldiers in 1942.The Misirov family alone takes up almost four columns of names. Ironically, Ali Misirov, who survived the massacre, went on to play Stalin in a post-Soviet film.

17.The memorial to Gazi-Muhammad, the first imam of Chechnya and mountain Dagestan, which stands just outside the village of Gimry. Pilgrims have tied strips of coloured fabric to it, which is slightly ironic since the imam devoted much of his time to stamping out such superstitions.
