A folk show in Maykop in the Russian Caucasus has marked 157 years since the Cherkess people of the surrounding Adyghe Region got their first ABC book. There were just 52 copies, printed in Arabic characters for Cherkess schools in Stavropol and Yekaterinodar, presently Krasnodar. The author was Umar Bersey. Since the year 2001, the anniversary has been a regional occasion to celebrate the Cherkess language and culture.      The show opened in Maykop after drawing crowds in Cherkess communities in Turkey.
