Based on the archival sources, the article reviews the activities of the Nobility Deputy Assembly in the Northern Caucasus in 1905 – 1917. The author examines the role of noble organizations in solving the class issues in Russia in the early XXth century. She notes a marked increase in the activity of the Stavropol noble Assembly caused by the events of the revolution of 1905 – 1907 yy. In this case the author draws attention to the fact that during this period, autocracy strictly limited the power of the nobility Assembly, and in addition noble organization was strictly forbidden to discuss political issues. It is noted that local nobles were quite passive in social and political activity and they were not involved in the work created at the time of the joint noble societies, although some regional representatives of the nobility (in particular K. I. Bielecki) participated in the activities of the First nobility Congress in 1906 y. Charitable activity of the Noble Assembly during the First World War was also investigated in the he article. The noble mutual benefit was created to assist the families of killed and wounded warriors and for maintenance of hospitals. In addition, the Noble Assembly provided the upper floor of noble house for the hospital, and the lower one for the Ladies' Committee. The article shows that despite all the difficulties there was a gradual clearance of the political position of the nobility of the Northern Caucasus at the beginning of the XXth century. The author draws attention to the fact that noble organization has proposed various measures aimed at strengthening economic and political influence of this class. She comes to the conclusion that the role of the nobility in the social structure of Russian society of that time is undergoing a significant transformation, and the importance of the nobility in the system of socio-economic relations and the management system of the Russian Empire was significantly reduced
The research of ethnic composition of the nobility of the Northern Caucasus is carried out in the article on the basis of statistical sources. The author calculated the results of the First General census of the Russian Empire in the Kuban, Stavropol and the Terek regions of 1897 y. It is shown that the ethnic composition of the upper classes was different in regions. The analysis of the results of the census of 1897 shows that in the Kuban region the most numerous language groups were Russian (77%), Polish (7,1%), Circassian (5.8 percent) ones. The ratio of language groups was not the same in the towns and villages. It is noted that in Stavropol province the dominance of Russians was significant compared with Kuban region. They accounted for 86.8% among the hereditary nobility of the province and among personal they accounted for 94%. The second place among the nobility of the province was occupied by the poles: the hereditary nobility was accounted for 7.7 %, personal nobility was accounted for 2.1%. Moreover, a significant proportion of them lived in urban areas. The national composition of the nobility in the Terek region is considered, it is shown that the Russian nobility prevailed in all administrative units: among hereditary – 73.1 %, among the personal – 77,7%. The second place belonged to the poles (9,25%). Produced calculations show that the most numerous from other language groups of the hereditary nobility were Ossetian (3,76%), Armenian (2,54%), Georgian (2,87%), Kumyk (2,01%), Chechen (0,92%), German (1,57%), Circassian (0,92%) ones. The nobility of the Northern Caucasus was multinational; it can be explained by historical condition of the formation of the indigenous population, as well as increased influx of immigrants in the post-reform period from various provinces of Russia
The article considers the place of Islamic festivities of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in the policy of Nazi Germany among the North Caucasus highlanders. Implementing “The North Caucasian experiment” based on speculation costs in prewar policy of Soviet power in the North Caucasus, the occupation regime has identified Islamic holidays a special role in the demonstration of “good intentions” and propaganda among highlanders. The author's concept is founded on the premise that under Nazi occupation of mountain areas Muslim holidays, with a strong outward expression, became a part of not only religious but also the ethno-political, social and economic policies of the Third Reich and served as a means of “political security” for Nazi rule. Using the archival documents and materials of the Berlin newspaper “Gazavat”, the author reveals the background, course and consequences of celebration of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha in the occupied North Caucasus in October and December 1942 and the place of Islamic holidays in Anti-Communist propaganda among highlanders in the Wehrmacht units. The chronological scope of the study is conditioned by the fact that it was during 1942-1944 the arsenal of policy of the Third Reich among Muslims in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East included Muslim holidays
In modern conditions of personification of history it
becomes especially important to study works of
famous figures of the Black Sea clergy. Roman
Porokhnya was one of such priests. His personality
never became an object of special research that was
connected with scarcity of sources. In this article an
attempt to observe his life and activity as the first army
archpriest of the Black Sea Cossacks on the Kuban
earth was made for the first time, the archival
documents which hadn’t been studied before were
introduced into scientific circulation. A lot of place in
article is allocated for reconstruction of the historical
past of the Black Sea Cossacks of the end of XVIII –
beginning of the XIX centuries. In this work, on the
basis of the analysis of the works of R. Porokhnya we
have shown a special place of a role of the priest in the
life of the Black Sea Cossacks. In the article his
educational activity, his works connected with the
beginning of church construction in uninhabited
Kuban lands were considered in detail. A lot of place
here was taken by the history of church relics of the
Black Sea Cossacks, the important role of Roman
Porochnya in their preservation is shown. Also the
problem connected with formation of local clergy
doesn't remain unaddressed. In the article the main
difficulties of it are shown, local specifics were
discussed. Against the background of the description
of the socio-economic and political development of the
Kuban we presented a historical portrait of R.
Porokhnya and we showed the role of a well-known
personality in the history of the Kuban
In modern conditions of political instability the appeal to
historical experience is especially important.
Consideration of activity of orthodox clergy at the
beginning of the twentieth century, on the one hand,
allows estimating its role at lives of the Russian society,
with another to track interrelation between spiritual
crises and strengthening of revolutionary moods in
Russia. In this work the complex analysis of relationship
of the Kuban society and clergy at the beginning of the
twentieth century for the first time is given, special
attention is paid to the factors that played an important
role in the growth of anti-clerical sentiment. In the
article the contribution of priests to culture of Kuban is
considered as well. It occupies a special place coverage
outreach and philanthropy. In the research, the attention
is focused on diverse structure of the Kuban clergy that
found reflection in their miscellaneous social and in the
material status. All of this has contributed to the
presence of three movements in the ranks of the
priesthood of the Kuban. Shortly before revolution the
part of the Kuban church clergy supported cardinal
changes in life of Church, others were supporters of
moderate reforms, the third were opponents of all
changes. Based on the analysis of archival documents in
an article released in the specifics of the position of the
Orthodox clergy Kuban from other regions of Russia. In
this article it is convincingly proved that the authority of
Russian Orthodox Church was much higher here that
found reflection levels of moral development of society.
Unlike the central provinces spiritual crisis was much
weaker here; less all Cossacks were subject to its
influence. All this promoted preservation of monarchic
moods and among the most part of residents of Kuban.
Therefore, the news of the overthrow of the monarchy,
the establishment of Soviet power there was perceived
negatively by the majority of inhabitants
Study of centrifugal tendencies in the Baltic republics
in the years of perestroika, especially on the
background of today's events in the Ukraine (the
Crimea entry into Russia, the civil war in the Donbass,
the aggravation of relations between Russia and the
Western powers), is very important. An important
direction in social and political life of the Baltic
republics was the legislative activity of the Supreme
Council, which made laws and regulations aimed at
the isolation and subsequent exit of republics from the
Soviet Union. Nowadays the problem of the role of the
Supreme Council of the Baltic States in the process of
sovereignty and independence was not seriously
developed. That’s why consideration of the main legal
acts as a historical source is an important area of
research in the field of legislation the Supreme

Lithuania) or the beginning of transitional period (as in
Latvia and Estonia). It should be noted that in Latvia
and Estonia citizenship laws in the years 1988-1991
were only developed. Finally these laws were passed
after the official recognition of these republics, so they
are not included in the focus of our attention. The
subject of the work is legislative activity of the
Supreme Soviets of the Baltic republics in the years of
perestroika

The historical experience of specialist staff training for
rural areas in our country is invaluable for the
countries in which differences between urban and rural
areas there still exist. Rural development is
unthinkable without the active work of the rural
literate. In this article, we consider this process in
Chechen-Ingush Republic in 1966-1975. There is
a rapid growth in number of knowledge workers in the
rural areas there. Chechen-Ingush State University
dominated in the process of qualified staff training for
non-agricultural occupations for the village. 7
Faculties functioned there, where, at the end of the
period, 5,000 students studied. Half of them were the
national staff. They were trained by qualified highereducation
teaching personnel. The following material
and technical conditions were available for normal
training: a hostel for 1480 people, a canteen, and a
library with a huge book collection. Every year, a large
number of teachers from a number of regions of the
Russian Federation arrived in the republic. For rural
people, admission to universities of the country was
facilitated. As a result of work done, within two fiveyear
periods universities of CHIASSR
prepared 16.9 thousand highly qualified specialists,
most of whom were directed to work in rural
areas. Scope of training of specialists with secondary
education for the village was widened. As a result of
performed work, staff scarcity for trained specialist
decreased in rural areas
