Day of the Combat Commonwealth of Highlanders and Cossacks in the First World War
The day of memory of the military cooperation of the mountaineers of Adygea and the Cossacks of the Kuban during the First World War has been celebrated in the republic since 2014.
The date was established by the deputies of the State Council-Khase of Adygea in the spring of 2014.
The Circassian Cavalry Regiment of the Caucasian Native Cavalry Division, which is better known as the "Wild", was formed over 100 years ago in Armavir.
“The highlanders of the Caucasus fought in Galicia, the Carpathians and Romania. The Circassian regiment, like others, showed how they know how to fight in the Caucasus. It is because of the dashing attacks on the positions of the Austrians on the South-Western Front that the division was nicknamed "Wild", - said historian Alexander Danilchenko. On the eve of the centenary of the beginning of the war, work began in Russia to perpetuate the names of the heroes of the First World War.
