Donguz-Orun and Nakra-tau Elbrus
What luck to live so long on Earth! 
I see the pride of mountains, seas, and rivers. 
I love their power and their life so long ...

Magnificent scenery! 
As thrones of everlasting snow, 
The eye perceived their airy heights 
A chain of clouds unmoving, 
And in their circle, double-headed giant, 
Sparkling in a crown of ice 
Enormous and majestic 
In azure hue we see the Elbrus rise. 
A.S.Pushkin
