Литовский маяк для черкесской мечты: почему Вильнюс стал надеждой черкесов?

Lithuania and Circassia are two nations separated by thousands of kilometers, but united by their shared pain. In August 2025, in Vilnius, Circassian leaders Kase Kik, Fatimat Kardanova, Mustafa Janbek, Rustam Khuazhev, and Orkhan Barsik seek allies in their fight for recognition of the 1864 genocide, when the Russo-Caucasian War claimed the lives of up to one and a half million Circassians. Lithuanians, who have lived through centuries of Russian oppression, censorship, and deportations, understand this tragedy like no one else. From Sheikh Shamil to Jonas Basanavičius, from the battles in the Caucasus Mountains to the forests of Lithuania, their stories intertwine in a fight for freedom and identity. This video is about how shared memory gives birth to hope, and Vilnius becomes a bridge between the past and the future of two nations.
