Nartan (selo)

Nartan (Russian: Нартан; Kabardian: Нартанэ) is a city in the North Caucasus in Chegemsky District of the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, Russia, located on the right bank of the Nalchik River, 5.5 kilometers (3.4 mi) east of Nalchik, the capital of the republic.

[2] Nartan is situated in the Kabardian Valley of the foothills of surrounding Greater Caucasus mountains located further south.

The outskirt of the area, known locally as Upper Nartan, joins the urban sprawl of eastern Nalchik.

In addition, fruits, such as apples and pears, and vegetables were grown, and livestock such as cattle was maintained.

As a collective farm, households had individual plots of lands attached for growing for personal consumption and occasionally for market.
