Peoples of Russia: Avars
Avars are one of the most numerous and ancient peoples of the Caucasus. According to the 2010 Population Census, there are 912,090 Avars live in Russia. The Avars history is rather long and complicated. The ancestors of the Avars were nomads for thousands of years BC, but around the 3rd millennium BC they began to lead a sedentary lifestyle, raise cattle and engage in agriculture.
The life of the Avar tribes took place in the mountains, in a halfway isolation from other tribes and peoples, which made it possible to preserve both the language and the people distinctive external features, as well as traditions and customs.
Modern Avars are successfully engaged in agriculture and winemaking like their ancestors. They proudly honor their national and cultural traditions, many know the Avar language – they do everything to ensure the people exist for many more centuries.
The national cuisine of the Avars is one of the most original cuisines of the northern Dagestan. The nutrition basis among the Avars rates khinkal. They also prefer lamb and beef, fat meat soups (e.g. shurpa or shurva), flour-made dishes and the shish-kebab.
