Nal’chik Fiori Fiorista

The city-resort Nalchik is located on the bank of the river of the same name. It was founded in 1724, now it is the capital of the Kabardino-Balkarian republic. The city is located in the foothills of the Main Caucasian Range. The population of Nalchik is 239 people, but it is gradually decreasing due to various socio-economic factors. Despite the fact that the city has the status of a resort, few are eager to rest there because of constant sluggish ethnic conflicts, where all the people residing on the territory of the country hate each other and of course the Russians, considering them invaders and enemies. Although Russians in Nalchik are very few.
The climate of the city is typical for the foothills zone. A non-hot summer gives way to a relatively warm winter.
