MARZOEV I.T. THE PARTICIPATION OF THE TAGAURIAN ALDARS IN MUHAJIRUN IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE XIX c. Print

The article is devoted to the migration of the representatives of the privileged Tagaurian class of Ossetia to the Ottoman Empire in the second half of the XIX century. Among the reasons for the resettlement of the mountaineers to Turkey should be listed: serious internal problems of Russia, seeking to get rid of the "turbulent" part of the Caucasian population, which could hinder the extension of its political and economic influence in the region. Turkey, in its turn, also needed to strengthen its borders at the expense of brave and courageous fighting force, which the Caucasians represented, in order to manage and counterweight the non-Muslim population in some areas of the Empire, with this view the resettlement of the Muslims between the Christian Nations on the principle of “settlement layers” was implemented. Replenishment of its army by representatives of the Caucasian warriors, educated in the traditions of courage and loyalty, had a positive impact on the internal security of the Ottoman state. Another reason was the religious factor, because Russia was actively pursuing a policy of Christianization of the population in the Caucasus, and in these circumstances, propaganda and religious propaganda conducted by the Turkish envoys and supported by Russian agents reached their goal. Emigration in the nineteenth century took place in three stages: first minor resettlement took place in 1859, when mainly some privileged families moved with their serfs. The second wave of emigration occurred in 1860-1861. Then 300-350 families of Ossetians left for Turkey, including 13 families of tagaurian Aldars. In 1865 the most massive migration wave took place, when a significant number of Ossetians left their homeland and started for Turkey. Then 27 families of tagaurian Aldars left Ossetia. The paper presents biographic data of the Muhajirs, who had left their homeland, specifies their birth dates (death dates), lists representatives of the families, who moved with them to Turkey.

Keywords: Russia, Ottoman Empire, Caucasus, Muhajirs, aristocratic families, Caucasian war.
