There is a guy on the internet who travels all around the planet. Spends a lot of time in the former Soviet republic areas and what not.
He kind of makes a living challenging preconceived notions of places. Places supposed to be terrible.
He went to Dagestan. Found the locals to be friendly and hospitable. The YouTube channel is called Bald and Bankrupt.
Personally, I would give it a pass, but I worry too much!
Wasn't Ed in the 'stans recently?
