Wide Angle. Printable Pages PBS Kabardino-Balkaria is comprised of two ethnic territories, Kabardino (whose citizens are primarily Muslim and speak a Caucasian language) and Balkaria (whose citizens speak a Turkic language.) Russians also comprise a large percentage of the population. Kabardino and Balkaria struggle to maintain peaceful relations for several reasons. In 1992 the Balkars voted for secession and while their 1996 proclamation that Balkaria is its own Republic fell on deaf ears, war-ravaged Chechnya (where people no doubt understand the struggles experienced by an underdog republic fighting for its freedom) supported them. www.pbs.org /wnet/wideangle/printable/beslan_map_kab_print.html   (417 words)

Kabardino-Balkaria: A First Venture into the Caucasus After two hours we entered the world of the Kabardino people immortalized by Leo Tolstoy, and drove through villages where the streets were lined with wooden palisades that enclosed each house. There was a sense of timelessness about everything—so different from the world of workers' apartments and concrete slabs that socialism had produced in all the other parts of Russia I had visited. Misha bought four pounds of fresh strawberries when he saw my eyes light up upon noticing them. www.spea.indiana.edu /bakerr/kabardinobalkaria.htm   (3152 words)

CENTRAL ASIA AND THE CAUCASUS Journal of Social and Political Studies In 1956-1957, a decision was adopted to repatriate the Balkars (35,274 people returned) and restore the Kabardino-Balkarian A.S.S.R. According to the data for 1989, 70,793 Balkars lived in the republic (9% of the population). The main factors influencing the situation in Kabardino-Balkaria are its dual constituency and the political, economic and psychological consequences wrought by the deportation of the Balkars in 1944, which are still having repercussions today. During the German occupation of Nalchik, the republic’s capital, the Representative Agency of Kabardino-Balkar Interests was created, which formed the “national legion.” Plans were drawn up to separate Balkaria from Kabarda and unite it with Karachai under the protectorate of Turkey. www.ca-c.org /journal/eng-01-2001/18.skakove.shtml   (483 words)

Balkars Vote to Form Republic Leaders of the Balkar minority in the north Caucasian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria voted to split away and form their own sovereign Republic of Balkaria at a congress Sunday, Itar-Tass reported. The Turkic-speaking, mountain-dwelling Balkars only represent some 10 percent of the population of Kabardino-Balkaria and differ widely from the more numerous Kabardins, who make up 40 percent of the population. But the Balkars' announcement Sunday was more wishful thinking than a development of any importance, said Alexander Iskandriyan, director of the Center for Caucasian Studies in Moscow. dev.themoscowtimes.com /stories/1996/11/19/009.html   (217 words)

ISN Security Watch - Repression, resentment fuel violence in Russia Poverty, historical grievances, and the indiscriminate suppression of “unofficial” Islam in Russia’s Kabardino-Balkaria have created a fertile ground for the growth of a virulent strain of religious extremism in this North Caucasian republic - a harsh reality that became apparent on Thursday when rebels raided the capital, Nalchik. As of 2004, there were around 2,000 followers of “radical Islam” in Kabardino-Balkaria, according to the estimates of the republic's Interior Ministry. In Russia, conservative Muslims who follow “pure Islam”, or Salafiya, are often - but not always correctly - referred to as “Wahhabis”. www.isn.ethz.ch /news/sw/details.cfm?ID=13142   (1583 words)
