Bakuvian

— The vast majority of Bakuvians identify themselves as Muslims but tend to see Islam as a badge of national identity as much as a strict religious code. Nearly two centuries of Russian rule added a strong European cultural element including a wide acceptance of alcohol as social lubricant. Although the small percentage of women who opt for Islamic dress is growing, a far greater proportion of Bakuvian ladies favour lavish make-up and toweing stilettoes over flapping chadors.

— Bakuvian plato located in the south, has a synclinal composition and is formed by the late-Pliocene-quaternary limestones, clays, sands and conglomerates. Bakuvian plato has a shape of terraced amphitheater, directed to the bay of the same name.
