Abstract:
The article studies the nation-state building in the North Caucasus in the first years after the Civil War. In 1920 two autonomous republics were created – the Mountain Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and the Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. It was the first form of Soviet national statehood among the mountaineers of the North Caucasus. Both autonomies were created not by ethnic, but by administrative-territorial principle, since they had a multinational composition of the population. However, their historical fate was different. The Dagestan Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic existed until the early 1990s. The Mountain ASSR could not overcome the contradictions between the districts that were part of it, which eventually led to its disintegration. Already in 1921, the Kabardian Autonomous Oblast was separated from the Mountain ASSR. It later was merged with Balkaria into the Kabardino-Balkaria Autonomous Oblast. Then the Karachay-Cherkess Autonomous Oblast was formed. In 1922, the Chechen Autonomous Oblast emerged. In the same 1922, the Cherkess (Adygei) Autonomous Oblast was created, then renamed in the Adygei (Circassian) Autonomous Oblast. In 1924 Mountain ASSR ceased to exist. The Ossetian Autonomous Oblast and the Ingush Autonomous Oblast were formed.

Abstract:
This work is devoted to analyze "Pictures of the last of the Quiet Don" by P.N. Krasnov (1909). In this book, the author creates an ideal image of the Cossack as a "valiant cavalry warrior". He does not consider either the Cossacks Class or the possibility of reforming it. P.N. Krasnov argues that Cossacks should adhere to the "great covenants" and "fine examples" of their ancestors to solve all problems. These covenants are reduced to two principles: the principle of unconditional submission to the authorities and principle of priority of military service. P.N. Krasnov believed that the Cossacks, which did not comply with these two principles, had no right to be considered true Cossacks. This ideology was primitive, but it corresponded to the government policy of 1900, and therefore the book of P.N. Krasnov was released under the auspices of the Don Ataman A.V. Samsonov.

Abstract:
This publication deals with the closing stage of the formation of religious education in the Don Army Land, which is the founding of the Don Theological Seminary in Novocherkassk in 1868. Based on the studies of the archive sources and pre-revolutionary historiography, the preconditions for the founding of the seminary have been determined as follows: the establishment of an independent diocese in the Don region in 1829, the insufficient education level of the parish priests, which called forth the necessity to educate the priests’ children, the opening of theological schools in the 1820s, and the 1867 reform of religious education. This article covers the preparation stages for the establishment of the seminary, which were connected with the name of Archbishop of Don and Novocherkassk Platon (Gorodetsky): preparing the project for the seminary establishment, for the construction of its classroom blocks, and for financing; defining the peculiar features of the educational process oriented, under Archbishop Platon’s initiative, at teaching missionary activities in an intensified manner; providing the theological school with classroom blocks for temporary use; and forming the managerial and teaching staff of the seminary.
