Republic of Khakassia or Khakasiya is a federal subject of Russia (a republic) located in south central Siberia.Abakan is the administrative centre of Khakassia, and with a population of around 160,000 making it the largest city. From the 6th century Khakassia was the core of the old Kyrgyz state. In the thirteenth century, following defeat by the Mongols, the majority of the Kyrgyz people migrated southwest to their current homeland in Central Asia (Kyrgyzstan).
