History of the Adygea Republic
The territory of Adygea has been inhabited since ancient times. Abadzehskaya Paleolithic site is located in Maykop district. Also there are a lot of archaeological sites of Bronze and Iron Ages. Maykop archaeological culture is well known.
A lot of unique items were found during the excavation of the hills near the village of Ulyap in Krasnogvardeysky district. Most of the precious items excavated while Adygea was part of Krasnodar krai and known as “Scythian gold” or “Kuban gold” can be found in museums outside of Adygea.
The indigenous Adyg population’s ancestors are considered to be ancient Meots, Sinds, Aheys, Zikhs, Kasogs, and Kerkets residing in the region. As a result of the Caucasian wars (1763-1864), the majority of the Adygs (Circassians) were exiled to the Ottoman Empire. The rest of the Adygs were settled in the lowlands, on the left bank of the Kuban River.
More Historical Facts…
Adygea was formed on July 27, 1922 as Cherkesskaya (Adygeyskaya) Autonomous Oblast (province) with the center in Krasnodar. From August 24, 1922 till August 13, 1928, it was Adygeyskaya (Cherkesskaya) Autonomous Oblast, and then Adygeyskaya Autonomous Oblast.
From August 2, 1924 till December 28, 1934, it was part of the North Caucasian krai, then, till September 13, 1937, part of Azov-Chernomorsky krai and finally - part of Krasnodar krai.
April 10, 1936, Maykop became the capital of the region. April 28, 1962, Tulsky (now Maikopsky) district of Krasnodar krai was joined to the region. October 5, 1990, Adygeyskaya Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic was declared. Since 1992, it is the Republic of Adygea.
In December 1991 - January 1992, deputies of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Adygea were elected. It was the first Parliament in the history of Adygea. In 1993, it was reformed into Legislative Assembly (Khase) and, in 1995, - into State Council - Khase. The Constitution of the Republic of Adygea was adopted by Legislative Assembly - Khase on March 10, 1995.

Μία εκδρομή για όλες τις ηλικίες, είπαν για εμάς.
" Απίστευτο! Πήραμε την εκδρομή με σκάφος μισής ημέρας και ήταν απλά τέλεια - η Μήλος είναι απίστευτη και το να την εξερευνήσουμε ακόμα περισσότερο ήταν πολύ ξεχωριστό. Οι κύριοι εργαζόμενοι ήταν φανταστικοί & το έκαναν πολύ διασκεδαστικό, μαζί με τις νόστιμες μικρές ελληνικές λιχουδιές, ήταν μια υπέροχη μέρα για όλους. Συνιστούμε ανεπιφύλακτα! Σας ευχαριστούμε! "
" Εξαιρετική εκδρομή με σκάφος στο Κλέφτικο! Το πλήρωμα είναι φιλικό, αστείο και εξυπηρετικό. Το κολύμπι ήταν φανταστικό. Φέρτε τον εξοπλισμό σας για αναπνευστήρα αν θέλετε να κάνετε ψαροντούφεκο αντί να κολυμπήσετε. Είδαμε πολλά ψάρια και το νερό ήταν υπέροχο! Δεν μπορώ να σας συστήσω αρκετά. "
