    History

    edit
     
    Map of Adygea

    The Cherkess (Adyghe) Autonomous Oblast was established within the Russian SFSR on July 27, 1922, on the territories of the Kuban-Black Sea Oblast, primarily settled by the Adyghe people.[12] At that time, Krasnodar was the administrative center. It was renamed Adyghe (Cherkess) Autonomous Oblast on August 24, 1922, soon after its creation. In the first two years of its existence the autonomous oblast was a part of the Russian SFSR, but on October 17, 1924, it was transferred to the jurisdiction of the newly created North Caucasus Krai within the RSFSR.[13]

    It was renamed Adyghe Autonomous Oblast (AO) in July 1928. On January 10, 1934, the autonomous oblast became part of the new Azov-Black Sea Krai, which was removed from North Caucasus Krai. Maykop was made the administrative center of the autonomous oblast in 1936. Adyghe AO became part of Krasnodar Krai when it was established on September 13, 1937.

    On July 3, 1991, the oblast was elevated to the status of a republic under the jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.[14] The first President of the republic was Aslan Dzharimov, elected on 5 January 1992.[15]

    Relations between the Adyghe and ethnic Russians in Adygea are currently good. Russians make up two-thirds of the population within Adygea.[16] The current Head of Adygea is Murat Kumpilov.[17]

    Geography

    edit

Forests (mainly of European beech, oak, and maple) cover almost 40% of its territory.

    edit
     
    Former Head of the Republic of Adygea, Aslan Tkhakushinov, in 2010

    The chief executive of the government of the Republic of Adygea is the Head (called "President" until May 2011), who is appointed for a five-year term. Proficiency in the Adyghe language is a prerequisite for the candidate.[19]

    The current Head, Murat Kumpilov (since January 27, 2017), succeeded Aslan Tkhakushinov, initially as acting Head of the region. There is also a directly elected State Council (KhaseorXase—not to be confused with the Adyghe Khase, a union of Adyghe who supported Sovmen for a second term), which comprises the Council of Representatives and the Council of the Republic. Both councils are elected every five years and have 27 deputies each.

    The Republic sends three representatives to the parliament of the Russian Federation; one to the State Duma and the other two to the Federation Council.

    The Constitution of the Republic of Adygea was adopted on May 14, 1995.
