Rocking and shaking on the chair. We suddenly found ourselves in a world of ice and peaks On the glacier, with the magical name Skazsky And now we’re heading to an amazing place, one of the most famous gorges in mountainous Ossetia, Tsey Gorge. Tsei Gorge begins just behind the village of Buron, located on the Transcaucasian Highway on the right bank of the Ardon River, about 80 kilometers southwest of Vladikavkaz. STALIN At the entrance to the high mountain village of Tsey, you’ll certainly notice a huge granite boulder, about four meters high, standing right on the edge of the road. , but the fact that on it, on the side facing the beginning of Tsey Gorge, there’s a portrait of Joseph Stalin. And on the back of the boulder there’s a portrait of the great Ossetian poet and educator Kosta Khetagurov. I don’t know how true it’s, but it’s said that when Khrushchev came to power, he ordered to throw this boulder into the abyss. But the very next day the villagers, unhappy with Stalin’s fall, returned the huge boulder to its place. And even then, it’s said, they guarded the stone image for a while with weapons in their hands so that such a thing wouldn’t happen again. And here it must be made clear that this veneration of the Ossetians for Joseph Stalin isn’t based on an empty square ... There are good reasons to believe, even if historians still argue on this point, that Stalin himself, through his father, was an Ossetian. RECOM Alagir Gorge, which includes Tseyskoye Gorge, is located not only in the center of North Ossetia, but of the entire North Caucasus. This is the only gorge that the Ossetians and their ancestors, the Alans, never left. No matter what happened, no matter what bloody battles the Ossetians participated in, in Alagir Gorge the warlike people survived and were reborn. In Tsey Gorge there’s the oldest Ossetian sanctuary - Rekom, which serves as the main place of worship for the most powerful sky god of the Ossetian pantheon, Dzuar Uastirdzhi. The name Rekom is originally Ossetian and dates back to ancient times. There are various interpretations, but given the special role of the falcon bird in Ossetian mythology, it can be assumed that “Rekom“ is a cut off from the Ossetian Uarikom which means falcon canyon. The building itself is a log house built without nails from thick pine logs. According to the legend, the Recom is God’s creation... men weren’t involved in any way in the construction of the sanctuary. It was created on the spot where one of God’s tears was shed over the fallen nart Batraz. Rekom is revered as one of the oldest and most important shrines of Ossetia ... On one of the bells of the sanctuary there’s preserved an inscription which says: “The prayer book of Digoria and Dvaletia, the sanctuary of the whole country of Ossetia.“ And here’s another visiting card of Tsey - the mount Monk. The mount got its name because of the striking resemblance to the hood - the headdress of monks. Winter in Tsey Gorge is mild - the air temperature rarely drops below minus ten degrees Celsius, which makes skiing here very pleasant. LINKS Walk around Vladikavkaz. Russia.
