There are three main ethnic groups in Kabardino-Balkaria. Kabardin people (Kabardin language), Balkarian people (Balkarian language) and Russian (Russian language). Kabardin people live mostly in the foothills, Balkarian people populate high valleys. Russians live everywhere. During the World War 2 (Patriotic War for Russians) German troops controlled the North Caucasus for some months. Balkarian people supported Nazy troops that time and therefore were deported to Kazakhstan when the WW2 was over. They were allowed to return home only in 60th. Generally speaking Kabardin and Balkarian people do not like each other, tolerant towards Russians and seem friendly to foreigners..
