THE LIBERAL HISTORIOGRAPHY OF NORTH CAUCASUS CLASS RELATIONS OF THE XIX CENTURY
The article analyzes the liberal historiography of the North Caucasian social relations and the transformation of these relations in the 1860s and 1870s. This historiographic problem is still poorly understood and the authors made a successful attempt in its study. They defined and characterized 3 groups of researchers of the North Caucasus social relations: the officers of the Caucasian army (K. Krasnitsky, N. F. Grabovsky, V. Maslovsky, N. Tulchinsky); the officers-mountaineers and the school officials-mountaineers (A. G. Keshev, D. Kodzokov, B. Shakhanov-Dzhankhotov); Caucasians Studies researchers (V. B. Pfaf, F. I. Leontovich, M. M. Kovalevsky, D. Ya. Lavrov, Y. V. Abramov and others).
