Abstract
The southernmost steppe of the Russian Federation is one of the healthiest and greenest areas in what is now the Commonwealth of Independent States. It spreads before the Greater Caucasus mountains like a luscious, grass doormat, sprinkled with spa towns and health resorts. This covering is occasionally ruffled by the odd green lump — like the five hills around the resort of Pyatigorsk.
