This house is the place where Joseph Stalin rested in summer 1921, so this house is turning 100 years old soon. There, In Nalchik, he was deciding what pieces the Mountain Republic of the USSR had to be cut into. As a result Kabardino-Balkaria was formed and Kabarda lost its Cherkessk lands and gained Balkar ones. That and other decisions bring many problems even today.
Stalin stayed there from June to August 1921.
