The largest part of the Caucasus is occupied by mountains. The Main Caucasian ridge stretches from the north-west to the south-east and divides the Caucasus into two parts: North Caucasus and Trans-Caucasus. Through the ages these two parts had a lot in common in both culture and economy.
The geographic and economic conditions of the Caucasus in transition from the subtropical to the polar, as well as the natural isolation of certain territories influenced the ethnocultural image of the region, with the distinctive feature being the complexity of the ethnic and lingual complement.
