It may seem that this once united people is divided by the Caucasus Mountains. The Abkhazians remained on the Black Sea coast, and the Abazins moved to the North Caucasus, to the territory of modern Karachay-Cherkessia. There are slightly less than 42 thousand Abazins in Russia. Despite their modest numbers, they retain their native language, customs and culture. And they do their utmost to maintain contact with their Abkhaz brothers. #caucasus #northcaucasus #caucasustoday #scfo #peoplesofrussia #abaza #caucasianridge #abkhazians #blackseacoast #karachay-cherkessia #abazins #customs #culture #peoples #kchr
