This article highlights the theme of applying capital punishment to fugitive Cossacks of the Caucasian Linear Cossack Army in the middle of the XIX century. The purpose of the article is to identify the causes and circumstances of the execution of Cossacks of the Caucasian linear Cossack army in the middle of the XIX century. Based on the investigation into the deserters YakovTynyansky and Ivan Khanin, the reasons for the death penalty for these defectors were identified. Hiding in the mountains of the Northwest Caucasus, they took part in raids on Russian settlements. In addition, Ivan Khanin confessed to robberies, murders and abductions in order to obtain a ransom of the girl from the village of Kavkazskaya. The findings noted that such crimes were a kind of “red line”, having crossed that, the fugitive Cossacks could no longer count on the indulgence of the authorities. The military administration took measures to make the execution of capital punishment as public as possible. Analysis of the legal component of the affairs of runaway Cossacks and the memoirs of a contemporary allowed the author to conclude that in the middle of the 19th century a special legal regime of wartime was not introduced in the North Caucasus. This work is based on the principles of historicism, objectivity and systematic.

The paper analyses the content of some of the parts of the work of the Armenian author of the 19th century bishop Vardan Odznetsi, kept in Matenadaran – the Institute of Ancient Manuscripts of Armenia. The full text of the work has not yet been published. The text is unique, as it is one of the last sources, written in the style of the Armenian historical literature of the Middle Ages. In his work, Vardan Odznetsi tells in detail about the court of the Georgian king Heraclius II (1720–1798). It also provides information about the Talysh Khan Mustafa and the Avar Nutsal Ummah Khan, known in historiography under the distorted name of Omar Khan. Thus, the chronicle of Odznetsi covers the history of not only Transcaucasia, but also the North Caucasus. In addition, the author describes in sufficient detail the events of the Crimean War (1853–1856). The information, provided by Vardan Odznetsi, is quite important in the context of studies devoted to the anti-Ottoman and anti-Iranian wars of the peoples of the Caucasus. In his work, a special attention is drawn to the scrupulous description of the invasion of Tbilisi in the summer of 1795 by the Iranian shah Aga-Muhammad Khan Kajar. With deep regret he tells about the destruction of the city, believing that this is the fault of the Georgian king, who showed political shortsightedness. In the 1790s Avar nutsal Ummah Khan (1761-1801) started to play an important role in the military-political events taking place in the South Caucasus, which is also mentioned in the work under review. He describes the relations of Umma Khan and his son-in-law Ibrahim-khan of Karabakh, their joint military campaigns on adjacent lands. At the same time, the work under study is an important source describing the transition of the kingdom of Kartli-Kakheti, and subsequently the entire Caucasus, under the protection of the Russian Empire. A study of this manuscript will serve as a more detailed source-study of the history of the Caucasus of the 18th – 19th centuries.

The authors made an attempt to complete the colorful characteristic of an Emperor Alexander III in his desire to form a common ideological and economic space on the platform of strengthening the position of Christianity in the Caucasus. The authors supplement the well-known narration of V. A. Potto about the visit to the North Caucasus and Transcaucasia in 1888by Emperor Alexander III, the specific materials from local archives and available sources are provided. The article highlights the activities of the military administration of the Nalchik district to organize a meeting of the Emperor at the station Prokhladnaya and in Vladikavkaz in accordance with the instructions of the head of the Terek region. Extensive material is presented about quotas for the number of delegates to the representative office, the procedure of forming a team, and the financing of expenses related to the meeting procedure. The author focuses on the phenomenon of transformation of the consciousness of the inhabitants of the Caucasus, including people who fought with Russia, under the influence of the socio-economic policy of the autocracy, the centralization of local government institutions. According to the authors, during The Emperor's visit to the Caucasus in 1888, a new phase was laid in the formation of Russian patriotism among the native population based on impressions at meetings and audiences with the Emperor. As the following events in the Russian-Japanese and World War I showed, most students in real, parochial schools demonstrated exceptional bravery and loyalty to the oath to The Russian Emperor. The article states the great interest of the Emperor in the Christian faith, and his spiritual and material support for the brotherhood of St. Nicholas Trinity in South Ossetia. Examples are given about the firmness of thanksgiving for faithful service to the Fatherland, about the priority in this issue of taking into account the reaction «to the mass, especially among Muslims».

The article analyzes the information about the punitive practice of the North-West Army in autumn of 1919 on the outskirts of Petrograd. Comments are made on the events that took place in the largest Petrograd suburbs - Gatchina, Pavlovsk, Detsky Selo and other closely located settlements after their transfer to the control of the White Army. It is noted that it was there that mass cases of capital punishment were recorded. The dynamics of the White repressions during the offensive on Petrograd is traced. It is reported that cases of release at the request of the local population were recorded. The novelty of the study is seen in attracting new sources to write the article. The article is based on the materials of a special commission to identify cases of white terror, recollections of residents of cities and military units, orders of the white command. Quantitative data on cases of white terror revealed at that time are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the facts of violence against the Jewish population. Statistics on the use of the death penalty are provided. The conclusion is made that the punitive practice of this period was carried out by the military courts, and to an even greater extent - through unprotected executions by the officers.

Abstract The North Korean police were arguably one of the most important organisations in liberated North Korea. It was instrumental in stabilising the North Korean society and eventually became one of the backbones for both the new North Korean regime and its military force. Scholars of different political orientation have attempted to reconstruct its early history leading to a set of views ranging from the “traditionalist” sovietisation concept to the more contemporary “revisionist” reconstruction that portrayed it as the cooperation of North Korean elites with the Soviet authorities in their bid for the control over the politics and the military, in which the Soviets merely played the supporting role. Drawing from the Soviet archival documents, this paper presents a third perspective, arguing that initially, the Soviet military administration in North Korea did not pursue any clear-cut political goals. On the contrary, the Soviet administration initially viewed North Koreans with distrust, making Soviets constantly conduct direct interventions to prevent North Korean radicals from using the police in their political struggle.

The article considers the history of the creation and development of the first Russian village in the Altai Mountains - the village of Cherga, which appeared in 1820-s a settlement of peasants assigned to the Cabinet mining plants. According to the author, Cherga played an important role in the economic development of the north-western part of the Altai Mountains. Cherga peasants were successfully engaged in arable farming, cattle breeding, mountain beekeeping, private hauling and taiga fisheries. In the vicinity of Cherga in the second half of the 19th century, there were large dairy farms of entrepreneurs who used advanced technologies and innovations in their farms. In Soviet times, Cherga with the surrounding villages turned into a large multi-industry state farm in the Altai Mountains. The traditions of innovation in Cherga were fully manifested in the 1980-s, when the Altai Experimental Farm of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences of USSR was formed on the basis of the Cherginsky State Farm, which was still active at the beginning of the 20th century.
