Everything about The North Caucasus totally explained
The
North Caucasus, also
Ciscaucasus or
Ciscaucasia, is the northern part of the
Caucasus region between
Europe and
Asia. The term is also used as a synonym for the
North Caucasus Economical Region of
Russia.
Politically, the Northern Caucasus (territory north of the
Greater Caucasus Range) includes the
Russian Republics of the North Caucasus as well as several regions of
Georgia and
Azerbaijan. As part of the
Russian Federation, the Northern Caucasus region is included in the
Southern Federal District and consists of
Krasnodar Krai,
Stavropol Krai, and the constituent republics, approximately from west to east:
Adygea,
Karachay-Cherkessia,
Kabardino-Balkaria,
North Ossetia-Alania,
Ingushetia,
Chechnya, and
Dagestan (a small schematic map of the regions can be seen at
(External Link
)). In
Georgia, the North Caucasus includes the regions of
Tusheti,
Khevsureti, and
Khevi.
Geographically, the term North Caucasus comprises the northern slope and western extremity of the
Caucasus Major mountain range, as well as a part of its southern slope to the West (until the
Psou River). The
Forecaucasus steppe area is often also encompassed under the notion of "North Caucasus", thus the northern boundary of the geographical region is generally considered to be the
Kuma-Manych Depression. It is bounded by the
Sea of Azov and
Kerch Strait on the west, and the
Caspian Sea on the east.
