| PHOTOGRAPHS
Photos from Caucasus
In 1938 Russian was officially decreed a compulsory subject in all
Soviet schools .In the last decades of the Soviet Union, outright
promotion of Russian as the language of a new community - the new
Soviet People, became the chief goal of Soviet language policy and
many non-Russian languages, including Circassian in both it's varieties,
were phased out of the school system as languages of instruction.
The collapse of the Soviet Union has heightened Circassian national
feeling both in Russia and in the Diaspora .Since the collapse,
the Circassians have forged links with their brethren all over the
world.

Sakhalin Island
Sakhalin is a very long (c.a. 1000 km) but narrow (200 km in
its largest extent) island located between Japan and Russian Maritime
Territory. It is separated from the continent by a narrow strait
of 6 km width and for that reason, first, Westerners thought it
should be a peninsula. With Kuril Islands, Sakhalin is one of the
territories disputed between Japan and Russia and its belonging
has not yet been definitely settled.

Empires Beyond the Great Wall
The exhibit featured more than 200 priceless artifacts, some dating
to the second millenium B.C. Although Genghis Khan is Mongolia's
most well-known historic figure, his reign of terror was the culmination
of a tradition of warfare, tribal alliances and empire-building
by the nomads of the steppes.
