Mountains, traditions, and friendship between nations!💘 For the first time, Abkhazia and South Ossetia are joining the regional program of the IFY–2026. Deep historical and cultural ties connect them with Russia. Participants can choose between 2 formats: an individual route to Abkhazia, and an interregional route through Kabardino-Balkaria with a visit to South Ossetia. 📍Republic of Abkhazia The journey starts with a tour of Old Gagra and a choir concert by the Colonnade. Ahead are a sunset sea cruise, a jeep ride to Auadhara and Lake Ritsa, walks around Sukhum, and a visit to an ethno-park in Mgudzyrkhua. Participants will try archery and blacksmithing, and even cook abysta, adjika, and khachapuri over an open fire. 📍 Kabardino-Balkaria — South Ossetia As part of the interregional format, participants will visit Kabardino-Balkaria and take a trip to South Ossetia. They'll learn about the history, culture, and traditions of the Caucasus peoples, and talk about the role of youth in strengthening ties between nations. 👍 Want to see how it all looks?
