Abstract:
For its geographical location Georgia represents the part of old cultural world situated on the border of two continents-Europe and Asia. Such location always provided Georgia’s cultural and agricultural promotion during its long history. As it is well-known, from VIII century of old era, on the south-east of the Black Sea and later on the east (Georgian today) coast Greek settlements appeared. First settlements were Sinopi, Pazisi, Gienosi, Dioskuria, etc. Greek settlements also appeared on the west and north coasts of the Black Sea in the VII-VI centuries of the old era. Greek settlements played an important role in the process of cultural-economic development of the Black sea population with the antique world. Keeping in mind the history of old Greece and Georgia’s military-political, economical and cultural relations, it should not be surprising that these relations revealed in sport life that made the basements of Olympic movement in Georgia.

Abstract:
This article features new little-known materials. Through the example of some of the more prominent representatives of the Russian scientific and creative intelligentsia, the author analyzes certain awareness-raising views on cultural building in the region. The author reveals in a survey/abstract form that interest in the Caucasus had been exhibited by the entire frontline Russian intelligentsia in the persons of its best representatives: A.S. Pushkin, M.Yu. Lermontov, A.S. Griboyedov, L.N. Tolstoy, A.P. Belyayev, A.A. Bestuzhev-Marlinsky, I.G. Burtsov, N.N. Muraviev, P.A. Mukhanov, V.D. Sukhorukov, V.S. Tolstoy, and many others. It has been proven that the ideas of compassion for common people were the basis for the creative work of the Russian general public and were shared by Caucasian thinkers (Adil-Girey, G. Dzasokhov, Kazen-Bek, Khan-Girey, and many others) as well, whose works were published in Russian and Caucasian periodicals. This facilitated the boosting of the national self-consciousness of the mountaineer ethnoses and bolstering mutual friendship between them and great Russian people.

5. Nugzar K. Ter-OganovHistory and Historians in the Context of the Time, 2015, Vol. (14), Is. 1, pp. 31-38.
Abstract:
This article addresses the transformation of state governance in Stavropol Governorate subsequent to the victory of the February Revolution of 1917 and the making and evolution of post-Revolutionary bodies of state authority. Based on archive materials and press publications, the author brings to light the process of creating new institutes of authority and analyzes their social composition and their interrelationship. Special attention is given to the activity of the committees for social security – bodies of self-government that were created by the liberal general public in the spring of 1917 and aspired to run the region – and their operation within the governorate in parallel with the bodies of authority of the Provisional Government. The author comes to the conclusion that the lack of consistency in the actions of the new bodies of authority and their renunciation of social reform for peasants led to the radicalization of the latter, which facilitated the triumph of the proponents of Soviet authority in the governorate in late December, 1917.
