All the exhibits were brought to the exhibition in Moscow from the National Museum of Kabardino-Balkaria, noted its director Felix Nakov.
According to Yuri Kepa, Assistant Professor from the Russian State University of Tourism and Service, who has visited the exhibition, the event is of great interest.
"We have discovered for ourselves the part of Northern Caucasus which we have never heard of. I want to study every subject at the exhibition. For me personally, the costumes of male warriors are of great interest. I have never seen them from close range, and now I am watching them with interest and I am reading information about the exhibits," Yuri Kepa has told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.
