Amazing Caucasus

The Caucasus is an amazing and beautiful part of Russia. Here we have the unique nature and wonderful people.

The name of the great Russian poet M. Y. Lermontov became the inevitable part of the Caucasus. He devoted to the Caucasus many of his works and found his death.
Where merge Aragva and her twin,
Kura, and fast rush onward, in
Times past, a lonely cloister stood;
By fields, a dense and o'ergrown wood
Encircled 'twas....A wayfarer,
Toiling uphill, will see what were
A gate and gateposts once and, too,
A church....To-day, no incense to
Its round dome coils, nor do a prayer
The humble monks chant, hoarse-voiced, there.
