About Khakassia


The Republic of Khakassia is an autonomous republic of Russia, in the south-central Siberia, north of the Sayan Mountains and Mongolia, between the Republic of Altai in the west and the south of Tuva and the huge Krasnoyarsk Province nn the orth and east which is called “Russia’s Switzerland”.
It looks like a summary of the Siberian terrain: the taiga with vast forests, the grassy steppe with flats, the mountain with the Sayan Mountains. Crossed over three thousand years by nomads, some powerful but short-lived kingdoms were built there, including that of the Tagar time, during which extraordinary high tumulus were erected.
The Khakass are related to Kyrgyz, and their neighbors “Touvains” to the Turco-Mongols. The Republic of Khakassia measures one eighth of France, and has nearly half a million inhabitants.
