my opinion, the homeland is one of the greatest values in our life. And Dagestan is my Motherland. This is the place where I was born and my beloved corner. We do not choose which country to be born in, but our moral obligation is to love and protect it in order to pass everything on to our descendants. Let's dive into the history of Dagestan. Everyone knows that Dagestan is a multinational republic. This small area is home to more than sixty nationalities, of which about thirty are of the same origin. The main population is made up of Avars, Kumyks, Laks, Dargins, Russians, Chechens, Aguls, Nogais, Azerbaijanis and many others. But few people know that in addition to the main nationalities, there are many small nationalities here. What is surprising for Dagestan is that many different languages can be spoken in one area. Only in the Tsumadinsky district, the residents of Tsumadin speak six different languages. But all these languages are different such as Russian and French. I was always surprised how such different cultures have been intertwined for centuries, and surprisingly there is no anger: representatives of one nation cancompose a joke about another, while noting some peculiarities, but this does not prevent them from respecting each other and being one. Probably, this is the very friendship of peoples that the Soviet Union was striving for swiftly, but unsuccessfully, because unity and cohesion are essential in all years. Dagestan is also called the country of mountains. High mountains occupy a large area, they are so beautiful that words cannot describe it. The nature is very beautiful and unique, deserts, forests, arable lands, meadows, forests, steppes. Where else can you find such beauty? Dagestan is also rich in its traditions, customs and rituals. Careful, respectful and caring attitude towards the older generation is always in the first place. We are taught from childhood to preserve honor and nobility, because this is the main thing that is in the soul and will remain until old age. The people of the Caucasus are very religious. Dagestanis are famous for their longevity. Nowhere in the world do people live as long as in the Caucasus. I am glad of the knowledge that I have something to say about my Motherland. No matter how fate decrees, and wherever the road of life takes me, it will always be the most desirable place for me. This is my homeland, my Dagestan!
