Nalbi Nazhev: "In this photo, Circassians from Adygea, Kabardino-Balkaria, Karachay-Cherkessia and Krasnodar Territory. They do not interfere with the administrative boundaries, the distance between the subjects of their residence, so that they often visit each other, showing unity and readiness to provide support at any moment.
Also, invented and artificially imposed names and designations introduced into circulation during the formation of Soviet power do not interfere with them. All unanimously consider themselves Circassians and, accordingly, in the All-Russian Population Census they noted the exoethnonym Circassian in the column "nationality", and Circassian in the column "native language". After all, this is correct from a historical, scientific, and just a logical point of view.
It doesn't matter how Rossstat employees write us in the final bill. The main thing is our single self-consciousness, the absence of borders, the feeling of ourselves as a single whole in a single ethnocultural, linguistic and spiritual space."
