Chechen sufi chant “Deli Reza Khilva Shuna” performed by Pankisi ensemble from Georgia. Music video directed by Pavel Maklyarovsky with VFX of Islam Ayubi is based on quotes of chechen influencers of different periods of time — religious leaders and folklore performers, bards and poets. They are given in English, Russian, Georgian and Chechen languages — most common for the nation due to the regions they live in. Chechen language is given in latin version of 1990s which was used for the concept of free republic. Women are represented in a warlike way as ones who can fight if necessary, not just revive the nation. During the process of singing, traditionally-shaped ancestral towers are being restored. In the end, towers stand still as a symbol of regained and free homeland of ancestors and utopian world of peace chechens have been trying to reach.
