“Räkhim itegez!” — or “Welcome!” The capital of Bashkortostan warmly greets its guests, offering them a wealth of cultural and natural treasures. Ufa is informally called “the city of three screws.” The reason is that in the Bashkir language, its name is written as “ӨФӨ,” which looks like the heads of three screws.
