In 2003 the Alagir archaeological team of the Institute of History and Archaeology (IHA) at North Ossetian state University named after K. L. Khetagurov (now the IHA Republic of North Ossetia-Alania) excavated the Gusara I burial ground in the Alagirsky district of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The destroyed and looted part about 70 square meters of the burial ground was studied. In total, three underground catacombs were excavated. They contained a few, but quite expressive archaeological material (fibulae, buckles, beads, etc.). The studied catacombs were made in T-shaped type I. There are two varieties of burials according to the details of its constructions. The first variety: entrance pits are narrow and long; the bottom of the entrance pit and the chamber are at the same level, the dromos is not expressed, the vault of the chamber is flat. The chambers are small, most likely intended for the burial of a single person. Presumably, the buried were put with their heads to the left of the entrance. The second variety: the entrance pit is short; a step separated the bottom of the entrance pit from the bottom of the chamber; the dromos is expressed; the vault is designed as an arch; under the buried is traced a bed of organic origin. The buried lay with their heads to the left of the entrance; an artificially deformed skull was fixed. According to the funeral rite and inventory, investigated underground catacombs belong to the early medieval stage of the Alan culture in the North Caucasus during the 2nd half of VI – the 1st half of VII centuries A.D. The investigated archaeological inventory is close to the materials as early Alan culture so the Hun time. The purpose of the article is the introduction into scientific activities the archaeological materials of Gusara I.

The published documents were found in the archives of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. These are the materials of the meetings of the Soviet and party authorities of the Mountain Republic, which were devoted to the discussion of the problem of Kabarda's secession from the polyethnic mountain autonomy. The Kabardian problem was discussed several times by the leadership of the Mountain Republic in June 1921 before and after the congress of the peoples of Kabarda that took place this month. The minutes of the meetings have not yet been published in the published thematic collections of documents dedicated to the history of the nation-building of the peoples of the North Caucasus. The documents contribute to the understanding of the position of the statesmen of the Mountain Republic on the formation of new autonomous units and the identification of the concrete historical content of these processes. The protocols make it possible to reconstruct the process of not only the disintegration of the collective mountain statehood, but also make it possible to clarify important points in the history of its creation. Party and Soviet leaders often returned to the problems of the initial stage of the formation of the Mountain Republic. Further study of the problems of the formation of a system of national autonomies in the North Caucasus in recent times will largely depend, including on the introduction of new documents into scientific circulation and their interpretation by a wide range of researchers. In this regard, the published documents and materials are of great scientific interest.

Abstract. The authors present the results of the use of herbicides on winter wheat crops in the steppe zone of North Ossetia-Alania. The purpose of the work is to study the effectiveness of the use of herbicides in winter wheat crops. The object of research is two varieties of winter wheat – Trio and Utrish, which differ in maturity, susceptibility to leaf-stem pathogens. The novelty lies in the fact that for the first time in the steppe zone of the Mozdok region, in the research and production department of the North Caucasus Research Institute of Mining and Piedmont Agriculture of the All-Russian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the effectiveness of the use of herbicides in winter wheat crops was studied, an economic assessment of the studied agricultural techniques was given. Methods. The counts and observations were carried out according to generally accepted methods described in the “Educational-methodical guide for conducting research in agronomy”. Results. As a result of the use of herbicides and their tank mixture, it contributed to a significant reduction in the number of weeds (the percentage of death in the bumping phase varied between 55.9–81.1 % compared to the control). The removal of mineral nutrition elements by weeds was: nitrogen – 72.6 kg/ha, phosphorus – 14.4 kg/ha, potassium-52.4 kg/ha. Herbicides had a positive effect on photosynthetic activity. The leaf area during its maximum development (earing phase) according to the studied variants increased by 12.7–16.4 %, and the photosynthetic potential – by 13.7–17.8 %. The PPF for the studied options (the average value for the growing season) increased by 0.34–0.51 g/m2 per day. The studied drugs contributed to a significant increase in productivity. The largest increase was obtained according to the option: Grench (5 g/ha) + Luvaram (800 ml / ha) – 2.39–2.60 t/ha. The profitability level in the control (without herbicides) was at the level of 25.7 % (grade Trio), and according to the studied options ranged from 148.7 % (Luvarum 1600 ml / ha) to 169.2 % (Grench 5 g/ha + Luvaram 800 ml/ha).

В статье анализируются материалы из могильников раннего этапа аланской культуры с территории РСО-Алании и Чеченской Республики. По данным палеоантропологии и археологии делается вывод, что население предгорной полосы, оставившие в том числе Бесланский могильник, являются предками для погребенных в некрополях аланской культуры Среднего Терека (Братские 1-е курганы, Октябрьский I и Киевский I м-ки); а последние стали основным культурным компонентом в формировании населения Западного Прикаспия, в первую очередь Южного Дагестана, что иллюстрируется материалами Паласа-сыртского могильника. The paper analyzes materials from the Alan cemeteries in the Republic of North Ossetia – Alania and the Chechen Republic. Analyzing the data of palaeoanthropology and archaeology, the authors come to the conclusion that the population of the piedmont belt that left behind cemeteries including the Beslan cemetery are ancestors of the people buried in Alan necropolises located in the Middle Terek region (Bratskiye 1st kurgans and Oktyabrskiy I and Kievskiy cemeteries). The latter represent the main cultural component in formation of the population that settled in the western Caspian region, in particular, southern Dagestan, as illustrated by the remains from the Palasa-Syrt cemetery.

В статье на материалах министерств и ведомств, призванных курировать сектор экономики Российской Федерации, а также сведениях Республики Северная Осетия-Алания предпринята попытка рассмотреть и проанализировать процесс развития основ государственной политики в республике в 19902010 годы. Автором раскрываются причины замедленного действия в этом направлении в условиях рыночных отношений устанавливаются количественные характеристики как временных успехов, так и отступлений в этом важном секторе хозяйствования в российском государстве и его составляющих субъектах. Анализ зависимости состояния того или иного общества от положения в экономическом секторе любого региона России позволяет выявить пути улучшения взаимосвязи федеративных отношений, эффективного использования ресурсов, инвестиций, направленных на поддержку регионов и улучшение положения населения. Актуальность данного исследования состоит в подробном и тщательном изучении проблем государственной национальной и региональной политики аспектов продвижения развития экономического сектора к середине 1990-х годов на региональном уровне механизмов осуществления намеченных мер на практике. Поскольку уже в начале 1990-х годов было очевидным, что экономический сектор страны оставался одним из самых сложных разделов в государственной национальной политике, он, тем не менее, по-прежнему составлял основу для развития самой сферы экономики. Поэтому не случайно, что этому приоритетному вопросу постоянно уделялось внимание в практической деятельности Миннац России, а также в соответствующих структурах, призванных курировать экономический сектор, занимавшихся его развитием и совершенствованием с учетом многонационального фактора российской государственности. The article, on the basis of the materials from ministries and departments in charge of the economic sector of the Russian Federation, as well as the information from the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania, attempts to consider and analyze the process of developing the foundations of state policy in the Republic in 19902010. The author reveals the reasons for the delayed action in this direction in the conditions of market relations quantitative characteristics are established of both temporary successes and retreats in this important economic sector in the Russian state and its constituent entities. An analysis of the dependence of the state of a society on the situation in the economic sector of any region of Russia allows us to identify ways to improve the relationship of federal relations, the efficient use of resources, and investments aimed at supporting the regions and improving the situation of the population. The relevance of this research is in the detailed and thorough study of the problems of state national and regional policies aspects of promoting the development of the economic sector by the mid-1990s at the regional level mechanisms for implementing the measures outlined in practice. Already in the early 1990-s it was obvious that the countrys economic sector remained one of the most difficult sections in state national policy, nevertheless, it continued to form the basis for the development of the economic sphere itself. Therefore, it is no coincidence that this priority issue was constantly paid attention to in the practical activities of the Ministry of Nationalities, as well as in the relevant structures designed to oversee the economic sector, which were engaged in its development and improvement, taking into account the multinational factor of Russian statehood.

North-Ossetian Division of the Geophysical Survey of the Russian Academy of Sciences (NOD GS RAS) carries out the continuous seismological observations of the central part of the North Caucasus region. The branch's seismological network includes 12 observation points located on the territory of the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania. The paper provides basic information about the places of installation of seismic stations and their equipment, and notes the registration possibilities of the network. The total number of registered seismic events and separately within the administrative territories in 2020 is given. The total released seismic energy is calculated. A comparison of the energy indicator with the previous year is given. The schedule of repeatability is calculated and constructed, which indicates the level of reliability of event registration. The analysis of the earthquakes foci distribution with ref-erence to geotectonic structures is presented on the map of the epicenters of recorded seismic events with an indication of the distribution against the background of the focal zones. Iden-tified and described the swarm sequences of seismic events, which occurred in the territories of the Republics of North Ossetia-Alania and Kabardino-Balkaria, as well as in the Stavropol Territory. The mechanisms of the foci for the three most powerful earthquakes are deter-mined and their stereograms are given. The obtained results will allow us to study the chang-es in the seismic regime of the North Caucasus region more effectively.

Potatoes are a valuable product and are of great national economic importance. In terms of the amount of nutrients per unit area, potatoes occupy one of the first places among plants cultivated by humans. In the North Caucasus, the production of marketable potatoes is almost entirely concentrated on the farms of the foothill and mountainous regions, which have favorable natural conditions (sufficient rainfall and moderate temperatures). The solution of almost all problems of the functioning of the agroindustrial complex is focused on ensuring food security. In solving food security in the country and in individual regions, a large role belongs to the development of such an important branch of agro-industrial production as potato growing. The development of this most important industry in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania is possible only on the basis of innovative modernization of potato growing. In the North Caucasus, the production of marketable potatoes is almost entirely concentrated on the farms of the foothill and mountainous regions, which have favorable natural conditions (sufficient rainfall and moderate temperatures). The area of potato planting in the region reached 35-40 thousand hectares, and at present in the Republic of North Ossetia-Alania there are about 1.5-2.0 thousand hectares under this crop. The aim of the research is to study the characteristics of growth, plant development, heat-drought resistance of various varieties of potatoes in the forest-steppe zone of North OssetiaAlania. As a result of three-year research (2018- 2020), it was found that under the conditions of the forest-steppe zone of North Ossetia - Alania, such early-maturing varieties as - Udacha, VR808, Gulliver, Riviera form up to 29.8 to 33.4 t / ha of early harvest potato tubers and are the most adapted varieties to local soil and climatic conditions.

Ossetic is an Iranian language spoken by around half a million people (Census 2002) mostly in the North Caucasus, in the Republic of North Ossetia–Alania, part of Russia, and in the adjacent region of South Ossetia beyond the Caucasian mountain range. Ossetic is descended from a language spoken by a subgroup of the Alans, a tribe of Sarmatian origin, which has found refuge in the highlands of the Caucasus following the invasions of the Mongols and Tamerlane. Centuries-long contact with neighboring peoples speaking Northwest Caucasian, Northeast Caucasian, South Caucasian, and Turkic languages has made a considerable impact on Ossetic phonology, grammar, and lexicon. Ossetic is a textbook example of an Indo-European language in a foreign linguistic environment, and therefore its data are highly important for the typology of language contact.

The article is devoted to the problem of manifestation of the influence of Islam in the Alanian monuments on the territory of the modern Republic of North Ossetia-Alania from the position of the possible acceptance of this religion by the Alans themselves. In general, in the North Caucasus, according to archaeological data, Muslim communities were represented in the pre-Mongol period. But for the region of interest to us, such evidence is not recorded. Individual artifacts presented in Alanian burials cannot serve as a basis for this. In the context of the funeral rites and other accompanying inventory recorded in them, one should assume the adherence of the buried and their community to their own traditional religion of the Alans. Therefore, one should reject the attempts of individual researchers to attribute the burials to Islamic ones. The spread of Islam among the multiethnic population of the North Caucasus during the period of its entry into the territory of the Golden Horde was repeatedly noted by specialists based on an analysis of archaeological material. This process was especially evident in urban centers. It was interrupted as a result of the end of foreign rule in the region. According to the researchers, some Alanian burials of the Zmeyskaya burial ground are associated with these processes. The direct influence of Islam in this area is also confirmed by other archaeological sites. As for the specific Alanian burials, the interpretation of the features of their funeral rite as purely Islamic raises certain doubts. Information from some written sources about the spread of Islam among the Alans of the North Caucasus also cannot be perceived unambiguously. It is possible that they were influenced by information about the conversion to Islam of a part of the Alans who left the region and settled in the capital’s center of the Golden Horde. Probably the transfer to the local population of ideas about its Islamization due to the fact of the adoption of Islam as a state religion.

The article is devoted to analysis of materials from kurgan-cemeteries of the foothill zone of Central and Eastern North Caucasus regions (from Kabardino-Balkaria to Caspian Dagestan) dating back to the 3rd century BC – early (first half) 2nd century AD. These sites were earlier referred to as the Chegem-Manaskent type. Main diagnostic features of these sites are similar traditions of the funeral rite and the ceramic complex. The formation of the Chegem-Manaskent cultural monuments includes the material culture, determined by traditions of the North Caucasian sedentary population, and the funeral rite based on customs of the nomadic population of the North Caucasian steppes of the early Sarmatian period. The original territory of Chegem-Manaskent culture of monuments formation was the area from the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic to the western part of the Chechen Republic. The kurgan cemeteries of the Caspian Dagestan were the result of the migration of Chegem-Manaskent culture carriers in this direction. The cultural traditions of the population formed a specific basis of the early Alanian culture of the North Caucasus (2nd–4th AD); their genetic connection is witnessed by similar funeral rite (burial in type I catacombs) and in the ceramic complex. So, the monuments of the Chegem-Manasket type underlie the formation of the monuments of the Podkumok-Khumara type, with which they are connected by the use of a catacomb burial rite with the repeated use of chamber for new graves and a ceramic complex. In addition, the ceramic complex of monuments of the circle of the Andreiauli settlement largely goes back to the ceramic tradition of antiquities Chegem-Manasket circle, complicated by the morphological influences of the tradition of Caucasian Albania including the use of the transformed catacomb burial rite with multiple use of chamber graves and the ceramic complex.
