This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered (emphasis on 'considered') ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an species of great apes.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
From what I understand, Chechnya's a region that up until relatively recently had pretty hostile relations with the Russian Federation at large, including two wars. It seems like Yeltsin's failure to resolve the more recent war was a big part of how he fell out of popularity and Putin went back into office? I don't really know the details, but it seems he's managed to smooth things out with them seeing as Kadyrov and other local politicians have been pretty enthusiastic about the war in Ukraine.
Geographically it's situated in the far southwest of Russia, sharing a border with Georgia.
Mad God was my favorite movie of 2021. Part because it's the only movie of 2021 i've watched, and part because i've watched it five times and i think about it constantly
A notable victim of the "keep milking the cash cow forever" mindset. Not many movies have the luxury of doing what they need to well then fucking off within two entries.
I like IRC and still use it daily to keep up with other hobbyists. Then again, vintage computers are my main hobby horse and of course those circles are gonna lean towards platforms that remain usable on a VIC-20.
