Khakassia, Republic in southern Siberia, Russia
The territory of Khakassia extends 460 kilometers from north to south and includes mountains, steppes, and rivers within the Siberian Federal District.
The region formed the center of the Yenisei Kirghiz state from the 6th century until its incorporation into Russia during Peter the Great's reign.
The Khakas people maintain their traditions through throat singing performances, mouth harp music, and annual summer solstice celebrations named Yhyakh.
The region contains mineral resources including coal, iron, gold, and silver, with mining operations concentrated near the cities of Chernogorsk and Sayanogorsk.
The Khakassky Nature Reserve protects brown bears, wolves, and sable populations across diverse landscapes ranging from mountains to river valleys.
