The Republic of Bashkortostan is a constituent territory of the Russian Federation situated in the South Urals on the border between Europe and Asia. The republic was founded on 23 March 1919. Its capital is Ufa.

The Bashkirs, the republic’s native population, are one of the ancient Eurasian nationalities; this ethnic group has lived in the South Urals as far back as the first half of the first millennium AD. Today’s Bashkortostan is a multinational region and home to over one hundred nationalities. 36.3 per cent of the republic’s population are ethnic Russians, 29.8 per cent are Bashkirs, and 24.1 per cent are Tatars. The republic is also home to Chuvashs, Maris, Ukrainians, Mordva, Germans, and other nationalities.

Bashkortostan is one of the leading industrial and agricultural regions in Russia. The republic is one of the country’s key oil producing regions, and the centre of the chemical industry and machine building.
