In republic there are the most popular tourist destinations of the North Caucasus, the main tourist routes pass through it, most of the excursion flow from neighboring regions comes here. We can say that Kabardino-Balkaria is the tourist heart of the North Caucasus Federal District. In order to realize these advantages, it is necessary to create modern tourist clusters designed to cover the main tourist attractions of the republic and to link them into a single tourist and recreational complex. 8 CONSTRUCTION OF MULTIFUNCTIONAL SKI RESORT «AZAU» PROJECT INITIATOR LLC Trest «I-B-C Promstroy» LOCATION Elbrus district, KBR PROJECT COST 2,7 billion rubles CONTACT General manager INFORMATION Aleksey Voytov +7(8662)44-26-30 Implemented project.

He expressed his belief in the importance of the humanities in education. Humanities subjects were the vehicle by which future generations would develop the best of human qualities and characteristics. Mr Sohrokov stressed the need to teach history in particular, in all its complexity. He argued that there is no correct way to teach history to young people, but versions of history which do not address the complexity of history are failing to address the nature of the subject.

North Ossetian Nature reserve, Basieva str. 1, Alagir, RSO-Alania, Russia 363245. ([email protected]) 2. Kabardin-Balkarian Highland Nature Reserve, Kashkhatau, No. 78, KBR, Russia 631800. ([email protected]) ABSTRACT Geographic variation in traits and features used in traditional morphology have been studied in Caucasian tur (e.g. degree of spiraling of horn sheaths and cores in males and females, shape of cross-section of adult males horn cores, dark stripe pattern on the legs etc.). Almost all the examined traits display clineal east-west variation, usually with sloping parts of the cline to the west and east (longer one) from the area around Mt. Elbrus, while in this area a steep part of the cline occurs, often with considerable fluctuations within. Resembling clineal variation occurs in tur females as well. Multiple correlating clineal variation in large and actively moving ungulate within a limited range (770 km long and up to 80 km wide) can hardly be explained by geographic dynamics of environmental factors. The shape of the cline is also very telling, suggesting a secondary contact and hybridization (Mayr 1968). Since there is one steep part of the cline, contact of two primary taxa may have occurred, initially separated by a geographic barrier, most probably a glaciation centre which was pulsating during Pleistocene in the area including Mnts. Elbrus in the west and Kazbek in the east, situated where the steep and fluctuating part of the cline occurs.

  • A Brief History of Kabarda
    A Brief History of Kabarda [from the Seventh Century AD] Amjad Jaimoukha T he Russians have been writing Kabardian (and Circassian) history according to their colonial prescriptions for more than a century, ever since they occupied Circassia in the middle years of the 19th century. Simplistic and oftentimes ridiculous accounts of this history were produced in the course of this time. Until this day, these historiographies, with added clauses to reduce the level of inanity and circumvent the rampant contradictions, constitute the official historical narrative in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic (and with slight variations in the other ‘Circassian’ republics, namely the Karachai-Cherkess Republic and the Republic of Adigea). For one, the Kabardians were deemed to have opted to join Russia in the 16th century (much more on this ‘Union’ in the course of this article). In 1957, big celebrations were held in Kabarda commemorating the 400th anniversary of the ‘joyful’ event that saved the Kabardians from perdition. A statue was erected as a symbol of the fictitious union of Kabarda with Russia in downtown Nalchik. The Circassian maiden with an uplifted scroll is exquisite Gwascheney (or Gwaschene; Гуащэней, е Гуащэнэ), daughter of Temryuk Idar (Teimriqwe Yidar; Идар и къуэ Темрыкъуэ), who was betrothed to Ivan IV (1530-1584) on 21 August 1561 AD, to cement the treaty between Temryuk, Prince of Princes of Kabarda, and Ivan the Terrible, ‘Tsar of All Russia’.1 Tsarina Maria Temryukovna (Мария Темрюковна; 1544-1569), as was Gwascheney 1 The corresponding monument amongst the Western Circassians (Adigeans) was built in 1957 in Friendship Square in Maikop, the republican capital, “in honour of the 400th anniversary of the ‘Military and Political Union’ between the Russian State and Circassia”.

A current status of the project of a large volume scintillation telescope at the Baksan neutrino observatory is presented. The main research activities of the BLVST are low- energy neutrino physics, astrophysics and geophysics. To detect geoneutrinos, large-scale new- generation scintillator detectors located at large depths in the regions with a low background level from nuclear reactors are required. The Baksan Neutrino Observatory is geographically located in one of these places. Recently resumed R&D activities are aimed at the creation of new-generation telescope with a target mass of 10 kt at a depth of 4800 m.w.e. A small scale prototype is already under construction. 1. Introduction A large volume detector filled with liquid scintillator at the Baksan neutrino observatory (BNO) is discussed for long time ([1] – [5]).

Tielidze ([email protected]) 10 Abstract While there are a large number of glaciers in the Greater Caucasus, the region is not fully represented in modern glacier databases with previous incomplete inventories. Here, we present an expanded glacier inventory for this region over the 1960- 1986-2014 period. Large scale topographic maps and satellite imagery (Landsat 5, Landsat 8 and ASTER) were used to 15 conduct a remote sensing survey of glacier change in the Greater Caucasus mountains. Glacier margins were mapped manually and reveal that, in 1960, the mountains contained 2349 glaciers, with a total glacier surface area of 1674.9±35.2 km2. By 1986, glacier surface area had decreased to 1482.1±32.2 km2 (2209 glaciers), and by 2014, to 1193.2±27.0 km2 (2020 glaciers). This represents a 28.8±2.2% (481±10.6 km2) reduction in total glacier surface area between 1960 and 2014 and a marked acceleration in the rate of area loss since 1986.

I will restrict my discussion to questions concerning the politics of the past, the contribution of which to the development of nationalism is difficult to overstate:1 Why is it that the most remote past and ethnic roots are mostly appre- ciated by many ethnic nationalists? What was there at the very beginning which makes them dig so tirelessly into the past? Why do some views of the past seem to be more persuasive than oth- ers, and under what conditions? Is it possible to appropriate the past of an alien community? Why do people apply to the past at all, particularly if a historical continuity has been broken? While discussing all these issues, I will test the well-known theories of Ernest Gellner,2 Eric Hobsbawm3 and Benedict Anderson4 on 1 Philip Kohl, Clare Fawcett, eds., Nationalism, Politics and the Practice of Archaeology (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1995); Phil- ip L.
