Dagestan, a mostly Muslim region in the south of Russia, is known for the stark beauty of its mountain landscapes, for its many small ethnic groups, for a violent and long-simmering Islamist insurgency — and for its #wrestlers. Thousands of young boys here dream of becoming famous and honored wrestlers, like the many Olympic champions who came before them. Towns and villages pour resources into the sport, hiring coaches and transforming movie theaters into gyms. The boys turn out to stretch and strengthen their muscles, and grapple on the mats before their cheering friends. Men from #Dagestan say they’ve always wrestled, in traditional bouts between mountain villages. Today, though, the region embraces wrestling not so much for teaching its young men to fight as for keeping them out of the fight with insurgents, offering an alternative to Islamist terrorism. Not only that, but the equipment is cheap, and a wrestler needs only the one-piece suit, or singlet, and shoes. @sergeyponomarev took this photo of a wrestling school in Dagestan.
