The history of the Adyghe intelligentsia acts as a connecting factor of problems of political, cultural, mental level and integrates such important areas of historical knowledge as socio-political history, the development of culture and education of the Adyghes. The paper analyzes some important aspects and theoretical and methodological guidelines on which the studies of the Adyghe intelligentsia can be based, claiming the complexity of reconstructing the complicated history of the Adyghe intelligentsia, a qualitative rethinking of the social role and place of the intelligentsia in society. It is noted that in the field of research attention must be paid not only to the factors that led to the formation of the Adyghe intelligentsia, its social and professional composition, but also the direct activity of the intelligentsia in the most significant spheres of public life. An important aspect in the study of the activity side of the history of the Adyghe intelligentsia is the study of the history of ideas that have spread among the national intelligentsia in interaction with the political, cultural, religious and social contexts in which these ideas were born, disseminated and transformed. In his study, the author proceeds from the understanding that the intelligentsia, as a sociocultural phenomenon, is characterized by the diversity of forms due to its ethnic origin, social, professional affiliation, political, ideological, ideological attitudes and views that should not be standardized.
