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

2017 was declared the year of the "100th anniversary
of the Great Russian Revolution", or else it is called
the "Great Russian Revolution". Such a message was
given to the Address of the President of our country,
V.V. Putin to the Federal Assembly of the Russian
Federation. The authors in the article rightly and
reasonably point out that if the February bourgeois
revolution, despite a number of objective reasons, was
still the apex, palace take-over, October of 1917 was
precisely a revolution, and not some kind of Bolshevik
conspiracy. Why a revolution, not a take-over? The
authors prove and convince the reader that this was
essentially an inter-information socialist revolution,
which radically changed the social system and the
form of ownership. The article proves that the palace
coup, which took place in February and brought
"politicians into dress coats" to power, led to the
victory of October 1917 due to their inaction and
incompetence in the country's political leadership.
None of the exciting question: about the war, peace,
land, factories and factories, the form of state
structure, the Provisional Government was not
allowed. Therefore, due to objective and subjective
reasons, the victory of the Great October Socialist
Revolution broke out
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
The article is devoted to the study of the monuments of
revolutions of 1917 in Russia. It is emphasized that from
the historical point of view, almost all monuments
represent the embodiment of the losses and sufferings of
humankind in various armed conflicts. This is especially
true for the revolutions of 1917, which changed the
entire modern history of the country, and even after 100
years cause a special interest both in the international
scientific community and among ordinary people. This
study specifies that after the final establishment and
approval of the Soviet government, the new government
realized that it was needed to create a certain basis,
namely, its political symbolism as a foundation for the
formation of image of the new government. The most
important component of this process was the desire of
the authorities to the formation of the ideas of the Soviet
people about themselves and their place in the world,
and, as a consequence, the folding of the foundations of
Soviet patriotism, because the new generation who had
no idea about the Russian Empire, began its life in the
country, which had an ideology, but just started to
develop the system of socialist values. The attention is
paid to the fact that the monuments are one of the
important elements of the historical and cultural
heritage, which reflected the past experience of
mankind, broadcast through architectural and sculptural
symbols to the present, which contributes not only to the
cultural enrichment of mankind, but also used by people
to influence worldviews contemporaries. The article
says that modern youth need to know the history of their
country, not to forget about the numerous victims of
various wars, to preserve peace and appreciate life
The article is devoted to the military and
administrative activities in the Caucasus in 1838–1842
y. one of the Royal Governors-Evgeny Aleksandrovich
Golovin. The author concludes that as a Russian
Patriot and aiming initially to make the Caucasus the
Russian spirit and legal institutions, Golovin began
gradually local features, and at the end of his
Administration Region tried to combine central
traditions with peripheral. His transformations were
appraised only after Evgeniy Aleksandrovich had left
Transcaucasia. For instance, in Tiflis they started
building more European-style constructions on
wastelands, erected causeways, pavements and pools
with clean mountain water. With its extraordinary
combination of the East and the West Tiflis turned into
one of the most interesting and largest cities of Russia.
As a truly Russian nobleman, General Golovin liked
living luxuriously, openly and hospitably. The best
representatives of the local society were welcomed in
his house in a warm-hearted and friendly manner,
which caused an unconscious sensation of gratitude
and left a favourable impression. Preliminary analysis
of activity of E.A. Golovin in Transcaucasia gives no
grounds for assessments which are extremely negative
or idealise the Chief Executive. Yet E.A. Golovin
managed to be remembered as a reformer and
facilitator of Transcaucasia whose numerous initiatives
were developed by his successors: M. S. Vorontsov,
A. I. Baryatinskiy, Grand Duke Mikhail Nikolaevich
and others
The article is devoted to military and administrative
activity of one of imperial deputies – Evgeny
Aleksandrovich Golovin in the Caucasus in 1838-1842.
The general spent more than three months studying data
on the area he did not know in the archives of SaintPetersburg.
E. A. Golovin paid special attention to road
and fortification construction. He aimed at making them
“centres of Russian nationhood by establishing schools
and markets”. On December 15, 1838 E. A. Golovin
submitted a report to A. I. Chernyshov, the military
minister, where he described the nearest political tasks of
the Russian government. In Golovin’s opinion, the main
military actions in Dagestan were supposed to be seizure
of Chirkat, construction of fortifications therein and
devastation of Akhulgo, residence of Shamil.
However, E. A. Golovin turned out to be bound with
instructions written in Petersburg more than his
predecessors. Programmes for military actions in the
Caucasus region specifying even troop units to participate
in expeditions down to the last detail were drawn on an
annually basis. By the end of his term in the position of
the Commander-in-Chief of the Independent Caucasian
Corps Golovin started supporting the siege system by
combining it, the same way as A. P. Ermolov, with
periodic temporary offensive operations. After the
Evgenievskoe Fortification (named so to honour Golovin
by Royal Decree) had been constructed at the Sulak River,
Evgeniy Aleksandrovich was dismissed in October 1842.
The author concludes that in process of recognition of the
world of mountaineers the commander-in-chief showed
aspiration to searches of other, less dramatic solutions of
the Caucasian question, opened for the successors of
prospect of the movement of Russia and the people of
Chechnya, Dagestan and Western Caucasus towards each
other
