May 3 in the KCR is the Day of the Return of the Karachay People to their Homeland

68 years ago, the first train with Karachays who returned to their native land from deportation arrived at the railway station of the Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Region.

The Karachays were the first people of the North Caucasus to be repressed. Later, the Chechens, Balkars, Ingush and others were deported in the same way.

The deportation of the Karachays began in the USSR in 1943. A total of 79 thousand people were deported. More than 43 thousand died on the road, as well as in places of resettlement in Central Asia.

In 1956, the Central Committee of the CPSU adopted a resolution "On the restoration of the national autonomy of the Kalmyk, Karachay, Balkar, Chechen and Ingush peoples." In January 1957, a decree was adopted on the creation of a united Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Region, after which the Karachays returned to their homeland.
