Statehood Day of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic
Every year on September 1, Kabardino-Balkaria celebrates Statehood Day, or Republic Day. This holiday was established in 1997 on the occasion of the adoption of the new constitution of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic.
Its date was not chosen by chance: it was on September 1, 1921, by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee of the RSFSR, that the Kabardin Autonomous Region was formed, and later, together with the Balkar Autonomous Okrug, was transformed into the Kabardino-Balkar Autonomous Region.
