The article analyzes one of the aspects of the domestic Caucasian policy of the Russian Empire which facilitates the involvement of the territory and the population in the all-Russian socio-political field in this article. Resettlement policy became one of the forms of integration. The result of this practice was not only economic development of the region, but also a change in its socio-demographic background by resettling mainly the East Slavic population with the aim of strengthening the Russian component in the social structure of the population. Russian policy of settlement of the prairies regions of the North Caucasus, having the colonization in nature, has not only become one of the main factors of national, social and religious variegation of the region. One of the key components of migration was the religious aspect. Focusing on the religion of immigrants, the Russian government has contributed to the spread of not only the Orthodox religion in the region, but also the appearance here of the sectarians...

This article deals with the issues of Russian-Polish bilingualism in the Russian Empire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Within the framework of the empire, the area of settlement of Poles was not limited to the territory of the Kingdom of Poland. Their presence in various Russian regions is shown by the example of the activities of “Polonies” in the Kharkov province, the North Caucasus, and Siberia. The migration of the Poles occurred both voluntarily, as was the case in the Kharkov province, or was forced, as a result of the repressions of the tsarist authorities and the exile of members of the Polish national movement, as in the North Caucasus and Siberia. It was not unusual that after the expiration of the term of exile, Poles voluntarily remained in the place they had been exiled to. Their occupation depended largely on the nature of the region and their social status. In the Kharkov province, representatives of the Polish intelligentsia carried out professional and cultural-educational activities, served as provincial officials, and were engaged in the improvement of urban infrastructure. In Siberia, Polish exiles became teachers as well as taking part in scientific expeditions that conducted research in the fields of geography, hydrography, geology, flora and fauna, meteorology, and ethnography of the region. To obtain better opportunities and adapt to the surrounding reality, the Poles needed, to one degree or another, knowledge of the Russian language. They acquired the language in various ways in addition to self-education: they were in constant contact with the local population and some even married those of the Orthodox faith. The participation of Poles in the social and cultural life of the regions under consideration contributed to a certain rapprochement and greater assimilation of the culture of both peoples.

Проблема безработицы в трудоизбыточном регионе во многом определяет социальные риски и социальную стабильность территории. Цель данного исследования состоит в выявлении основных тенденций в динамике уровня безработицы в регионах Северо-Кавказского федерального округа в 2020-2021 гг. и оценке социальных рисков в этом контексте. При проведении исследования были использованы методы статистического анализа данных и контент-анализ Интернет-медиа с помощью программы QDAMiner от Provalis Research. Результаты социально-статистического анализа безработицы в регионах СКФО позволяют сделать следующие выводы. Публикации новостей по теме безработицы в макрорегионе и оживленные дискуссии наблюдаются преимущественно в Telegram-каналах и меньше встречаются в других социальных сетях, в Instagram и др. Мнения авторов Telegram-каналов и блогеров о неэффективности программ развития регионов СКФО, не способствующих созданию новых рабочих мест, коррелируют с низкими официальными оценками результативности подобных программ. Прослеживается вполне очевидная связь между сложностью ситуации на рынке труда и занятости в регионе и накалом критики авторами Telegram-каналов региональной власти. В то же время в Ставропольском крае, где уровень безработицы приближен к среднероссийскому, и нет резких колебаний в ее уровне, отмечено небольшое количество публикаций с новостями о безработице и бурным их обсуждением. Одной из явных тенденций в динамике уровня безработицы в 2020-2021 гг. в макрорегионе стало то, что на фоне невысоких колебаний безработицы (1-2%) в среднем по России в субъектах СКФО дельта показателей общей безработицы в отдельных случаях достигала 10%, что наглядно отражает неустойчивость экономики регионов СКФО и сопутствующие социальные риски. Недоверие к власти и сомнение в ее способности действительно решить проблему приводит к безысходности, когда каждый, по мнению авторов, остается один на один с вопросом поиска работы, что в том числе приводит к росту социального напряжения. The problem of unemployment in a labor-surplus region largely affects the social risks and determines the social stability of the territory. The purpose of this study is to identify the main trends in the dynamics of the unemployment rate in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in 2020-2021 and to assess social risks in this context. For the purposes of the research methods of statistical data analysis and content analysis of Internet media were applied using the QDAMiner program from Provalis Research. The results of the socio-statistical analysis of unemployment in the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District allow us to draw the following conclusions. News publications on the topic of unemployment in the macroregion and lively discussions are observed mainly in Telegram channels and are less common in other social networks, Instagram, etc. The opinions of the authors of Telegram channels and bloggers about the inefficiency of programs for the development of the NCFD regions that do not contribute to the creation of new jobs correlate with low official estimates of the effectiveness of such programs. There is an obvious connection between the complexity of the situation on the labor market and employment in the region and the intensity of criticism by the authors of Telegram channels of regional authorities. At the same time, in the Stavropol Territory, where the unemployment rate is close to the Russian average, and there are no sharp fluctuations in its level, there is a small number of publications with news on unemployment and their heated discussion. One of the obvious trends in the dynamics of the unemployment rate in 2020-2021 in the macro-region was that, against the background of low fluctuations in unemployment (1-2%) on average in Russia in the subjects of the North Caucasus Federal District, the delta of the indicators of total unemployment in some cases reached 10%, which clearly reflects the instability of the economy of the NCFD regions and the accompanying social risks. Distrust of the authorities and doubt in their ability to really solve the problem leads to despair, when, according to the authors, everyone is left alone with the question of finding a job, which, among other things, leads to an increase in social tension.

В настоящее время накоплен значительный исторический, лингвистический археологический, этнологический материал по воинским обрядам и обычаям осетин, позволяющий рассмотреть некоторые сюжетные линии осетинского нартовского эпоса с новых точек зрения. Новизна исследования заключается в том, что в статье используются комплексные и междисциплинарные методы, на новом материале рассматриваются исторические истоки воинских обычаев и обрядов, прослеживаемых в осетинском нартовском эпосе, а также их исторические и этнографические параллели. Целью исследования является поиск истоков обычаев и обрядов, характерных для социального слоя мужчин-воинов, описываемых в осетинском нартовском эпосе, а также их параллелей в исторических описаниях и зафиксированных археологией погребальных обрядах. В нартовском эпосе описываются связанные друг с другом обычаи отрубания головы противника, скальпирования и отсечения правой руки. Для воинов-нартов характерен обряд побратимства, посвящения коня покойнику, почитание пиршественной чаши. Для реконструкции древних воинских обычаев и обрядов в сравнительно-историческом разрезе проанализированы данные археологии, античных и восточных источников, фольклора и нартовского эпоса народов Кавказа. Методы этнологии позволяют выявить пережитки воинских обычаев, описанных в вариантах нартовского эпоса, бытующих у народов Северного Кавказа. На основании анализа эпоса и сопоставления его с историческими источниками авторы приходят к выводу, что нартовские сказания осетин отражают социальные отношения, обычаи и обряды военизированного общества. Такие обычаи и обряды были характерны в древности для многих индоиранских народов, в том числе персов, скифов, сарматов, алан и др. на этапе разложения родового строя, когда основным фактором экономической стабильности общества являлись военные походы. Некоторые пережитки обычаев сохранялись в обрядовой практике осетин до начала XX в. (побратимство, посвящение коня покойнику, почетный бокал). Currently, significant historical, linguistic, archaeological, ethnological material has been accumulated on the military rituals and customs of the Ossetians, which makes it possible to consider some of the storylines of the Ossetian Nart epic from new points of view. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the article uses complex and interdisciplinary methods; the new material examines the historical origins of military customs and rituals traced in the Ossetian Nart epic, as well as their historical and ethnographic parallels. The aim of the study is to search for the origins of customs and rituals characteristic of the social stratum of male warriors described in the Ossetian Nart epic, as well as their parallels in historical descriptions and burial rites recorded by archaeology. The Nart epic describes the related customs of chopping off the enemy's head, scalping and cutting off the right hand. The Nart warriors are characterized by the rite of twinning, the dedication of a horse to the dead, and the veneration of a banquet bowl. To reconstruct ancient military customs and rituals in a comparative historical context, the authors analyzed data from archaeology, ancient and eastern sources, folklore and the Nart epic of the peoples of the Caucasus. Ethnological methods make it possible to reveal the remnants of military customs described in the versions of the Nart epic that exist among the peoples of the North Caucasus. Based on the analysis of the epic and comparing it with historical sources, the authors come to the conclusion that the Nart legends of the Ossetians reflect the social relations, customs and rituals of a militarized society. Similar customs and rituals were typical in ancient times for many Indo-Iranian peoples, including the Persians, Scythians, Sarmatians, Alans, and others at the stage of the disintegration of the tribal system, when military campaigns were the main factor in the economic stability of society. Some remnants of customs were preserved in the ritual practice of the Ossetians until the beginning of the 20th century (twinning, dedication of a horse to the dead, a glass of honor).

This article presents a brief overview of Maikop-Novosvobodnaya assemblages with gold ornaments. Special attention is paid to symbolism. Gold ring pendants were found in four Middle Bronze Age burials near Meneralnye Vody, central north Caucasus. One of them (burial 4 under kurgan 3 at Lysogorsky-6) is very unusual. It was arranged under a seven-meter-high mound and contained a set of weapons and implements placed on wooden dishes. Among the stones heaped on the burial, an offering was found — two crania of bulls. Burials of warriors with bronze and stone axes, excavated in central Caucasus, are discussed. The Maikop-Novosvobodnaya people (4th millennium BC) and those of the North Caucasian culture (3rd millennium BC) differed with regard to social structure mirrored by the burials. While both those societies were on the early pre-state stage, the social models were different. The Chalcolithic society was marked by the military and production symbolism, specifi cally that related to carpentry, and the ranking was super-elitary, with abundant gold placed in burials. In the Middle Bronze Age society, symbols related to carpentry were still used, but along with bronze axes of the Transcaucasian (Nacherkezevi) type. Stone axes were associated with smithcraft. The higher degree of military elite stratifi cation at that stage is revealed by assemblages with impact weapons and golden pendants attached to the headgear.
