Kabardia
Kabardia () was a historical region in the North Caucasus corresponding approximately to the modern Kabardino-Balkaria. Unlike its neighbors, it had an organized state and a somewhat ‘feudal’ social structure. It existed as a state from the fifteenth century until it came under Russian control in the early nineteenth century.
==Geography and Peoples==
Kabardia was located in the center of the North Caucasus just west of the Darial Pass and the modern Vladikavkaz and the Georgian Military Highway. It extended from the crest of the Caucasus Mountains northward through forested mountain valleys to forested lowlands and out onto the Pontic-Caspian steppe. Its boundaries fluctuated, as did its political unity and degree of control over outlying areas. To the east were the Circassian tribes, to the north the Nogai steppe nomads, to the east the Ossets, then the Ingush and then the Chechens and to the south the high crest of the Caucasus. The ethnic core of Kabardia was the Kabarday or Kabardians who were the easternmost of the Circassian tribes but differed from them in social and political structure. At various times the Kabardian state also ruled some of the Balkars, Karachays, Nogais, Ossets, Ingush and a few Chechens and even Kumyks. According to the Russian historian V. I. Potto, in the eighteenth century the Kabardians were greatly admired and copied by their neighbors, such that the phrase “he dresses, or rides, like a Kabardian” was an expression of high praise. Yermolov said that the Kabardians were the best fighters in the Caucasus but in his day they were much weakened by plague.
