For study the relationship between number of days with a thunderstorm recorded by weather stations and duration of thunderstorms in hours for these days, instrumental observations of the thunder direction-finding network of High-Mountain Geophysical Institute were used. We used data on thunderstorms in the North Caucasus for a long-term observation period in 2008-2019. Based on these data, they are grouped for various territories for analysis: the number of days with thunderstorms per month, per year, and the duration of thunderstorms per month and per year. A correlation analysis was performed between the number of days with thunderstorms and the duration of thunder-storms in hours according to LS 800 data. Thus, the dependence of the number of days with thunderstorms on the duration of thunderstorms is clearly traced - with an increase in the number of days with thunderstorms per year, the observation point increases in direct proportion to the duration of thunderstorms per year. With an increase in the number of days with thunderstorms on a given territory by one day, for the month in question, the duration of thunderstorms increases by 3.89 hours.

The Relationship

Much recent literature in cultural, political and social geography has considered the relationship between identity, memory, and the urban landscape. This paper interrogates such literature through exploring the complex materialisation of memorialisation in post-Soviet Russia. Using the example of the statue of General Alexei Ermolov in Stavropol’, an analysis of the cityscape reveals interethnic tensions over differing interpretations of the life and history of the person upon whom the statue is based. The existence of a rich literature on Ermolov and the Russian colonial experience in the North Caucasus helps to explain this. The symbolic cityscape of Stavropol’ plays an important role in interethnic relations in the multi-ethnic city; it is both an arena through which Russian identity is communicated with people and produced and reproduced, and an arena through which Russian citizens compete with each other for authority on historical narratives that operate at and between a number of scales. People’s readings of the cityscape can reveal much about power and space in contemporary Russia.

The Relationship

The priorities for the development of the industrial complex are to compensate for market risks by dispersing activities into several types of business with the development of new products, the cost of which is reduced due to the use of the existing infrastructure. The prospects of mining enterprises of the North Caucasus in the implementation of production diversification are outlined. The results of substantiating the effectiveness of diversification at various volumes of ore mining in the conditions of the unprofitable Sadonsky lead-zinc plant with a graphical interpretation of economic calculations are given. The results of calculating the efficiency of involving substandard technogenic ores in the development, obtained by comparing alternative options that differ in the size of reserves, are given. An equation for the balance of values is proposed, which establishes the relationship between the volume of production and the completeness of extraction of reserves of deposits during the development of reserves of substandard ores and wastes. To assess the effectiveness of actions during diversification, an integral indicator of flexibility is proposed and the method of marginal analysis is used to reduce the uncertainty of situations. A graph of the relationship between the volume of ore production, economic indicators and the break-even point is shown. Okha-characterized the mineral resource base of diversified enterprises and diversification products for consumption by related industries. It is shown that the diversification of the ore mining complex is still a little used reserve for the development of the economic system of the depressive type.

The following paper investigates the Russian-Chechen relations in XVI-XVII centuries. The authors note that the Caucasus was in the sphere of Russian foreign policy at the time of the Russian centralized state formation. With the annexation of the Astrakhan khanate, Russia came to the Caucasus border and the Caucasian direction started to occupy a leading place in the Eastern policy of the tsarist government. The Caucasus in the XVI century was an object of a tense struggle between the two most powerful States of the then Middle East - Ottoman Empire and Safavid Iran - and at the same time a bridgehead, where there was a constant threat to the southern outskirts of Russia from these States and the Crimean khanate. The strengthening of Russia on the Caucasian lands could become the most reliable means to ensure the safety of the South of Russia. So in the XVII and XVII centuries, the North Caucasus was Russias military-strategic interest or, in modern language, a geopolitical one. Chechnya came under the influence of Russia in 1567, when the first Russian militarized city Terek in the North Caucasus was founded. For the peoples of the North Caucasus and of Chechnya the appearance of a Russian fortress on their land was of great political importance. Thus, it was vital for Russia to gain a foothold in the North Caucasus, as the enemy (Iran and Turkey) could do it, which was unsafe for Russias southern borders. It was during this period (late sixteenth century) when close military and political ties of the Moscow government and the Chechens were established. The Moscow government was interested in Chechnya because of its geographical location - the immediate proximity to the towns of Terek and the fact that its territory was the most convenient means of communication with Georgia. The relationship between Chechnya and Russia at the end of XVI - first half of XVII century was almost an ideal model of a peaceful rapprochement of the Chechen with the Moscow government for those conditions and at that time. The Russian authorities did not interfere in the internal affairs of the Chechen societies, they did not impose their own rules or laws, being satisfied with the results of the hostages, the payment of tribute and, if necessary, temporary military service. This led to the fact that in the XVII century allied relations of Chechnya societies with Russia were established. However, at the end of the XVII century Russian-Caucasian connection was significantly weakened.

The article deals with historiographic analysis of the data on the Koisubulinsky Union, which the staff captain of the Russian army A.P. Shcherbachev, who participated in military operations in the North Caucasus, presented in his work “The Description of the Mekhtulinsky Khanate, Koisubulinky Possessions and the Avar Khanate”. Only two pages of “The Description” are devoted to the Koisubulinsky Union. Nevertheless, A.P.Shcherbachev considers more than ten problems, which contain many different facts of the socio-economic and political situation of the Koisubulinsky Union in late 1820s - early 1830s. The problems concerning the population, government, and occupations of Koisubula population are of the greatest interest. Although sometimes the facts given in the description of Koisubula are contradictory, they are interesting and their comparison with the information about Koisubula population presented by other authors can provide a more or less correct picture of the situation in late 1820s - early 1830s. This is information about the composition and size of the population of Koisubula, its military forces, the development of one or another branch of agriculture, etc. It should be noted that most facts of A.P. Shcherbachev’s descriptions find confirmation in the works of the authors who wrote before him and those who described Koisubula later. This concerns the form of management of Koisubula population, the development of winegrowing and winemaking, the sale of products to Armenians who came to Koisubula villages, a good state of gardening and agriculture, cultivation of various fruit and grain crops, and the state of cattle breeding. It is impossible not to mention the issue of the relationship of Koisubula residents with other peoples of Dagestan. A.P. Shcherbachev notes that Koisubula residents, when they needed bread and salt, bartered these products for their fruit in the Mekhtulin Khanate and in neighboring societies of other peoples of Dagestan and also considers the problem of raids of Koisubula residents on Georgia. On the whole, A.P. Shcherbachev’s data on Koisubula are of interest to Dagestan scientists who are engaged in history of Dagestan.
